Mike Vick is Back According to Andy Reid

Recommended Posts

Thought it was interesting considering the polarization his name caused over the last few seasons on this board, or at least his alias of Michael Bolton.

I am pulling for him to finish out his career strong and be a better passer as well, sort of like a redemption story - as long as it doesn't interfere with our team's success.

Anyway, here it is:

“I think he looks great. You saw him today,” coach Andy Reid said. “He’s working with the second group. Any time he gets into trouble, he’s out of there. You see his quickness and speed back. He’s throwing the ball confidently.”

Now proceed with your "why do we care?" posts.:cool:

If he is back in True Vick form I'm just glad we don't have him on the schedule twice a year like when he played for ATL...

I'm a Vick fan and had a 5 second glimmer of hope when there was the rumors about him coming to Carolina last year and this off season, but I know that he won't gel with our set up here. Hes a great athlete(if he really is in his pre-prison shape) but he'll never be a hall of fame QB.

I ran this through Babelfish. Here's the translation:

Come on. Somebody PLEASE trade us something for him. Please? He's really great. I swear he is. Surely a 3rd round pick isn't too much to ask for a guy this good, is it?

Well he couldn't learn the WCO in all the time in Atlanta, if he can learn it in Philadelphia that would be something.

I although thought it was funny Reid was praising him for getting out of there at the first sign of pressure. One of the big knocks on him in Atlanta was that instead of staying in the pocket and finding a receiver downfield, he would bolt at the first sign of pressure and run the ball. All you had to do to stop him is collapse the pocket and put a spy on him to shut him down. That is why we had better success with him once we figured that out.

    • I agree we won't win a ton of games if our offense isn't a bigger part of the plan.  We didn't have to or try to do that today.  As Bryce continues to grow and get better we'll get more games from him and the offense carrying the load.  Yes, he, Canales and the rest of the offense has to be much more consistent in producing points on offense.  No question.  As you say, we've seen that in spurts.    Should a number 1 overall pick come out carrying a team?  No, despite what fans think.  It's rare for any young player to be born into the league fully formed.   What I saw today was mistakes being corrected.  I'm not going to try to gaslight you saying Bryce hasn't had his share of games we'd all like to forget but since his benching last year he has continued to get better and better.  No, it hasn't been in a straight line but that's just not reality for anyone.   Last year he had 9 picks in 14 games and 3 lost fumbles. This year through 3 games he has 3 picks and 2 lost fumbles.   The amount of pass attempts show me a staff and a team who are not afraid to pass.  They are not protecting Bryce more than any other team would protect their QB.  The rate at which we threw downfield last year shows me the same thing.  The number of potential game winning drives also point to the fact that we aren't limiting our passing attack.  We routinely put the ball in Bryce's hands to get a crucial 3rd downs and 4th downs.  The results are not always what we want but I don't see any lack of trust or faith in him. Tetairoa is tops or leading rookies in yards and catches.  Unless he's throwing it to himself, I'd say we are getting him the ball without too much trouble.  It would be even better if Tetairoa would put two hands on the ball when trying to catch those deep endzone shots.  Bryce hasn't earned an extension yet and he might not but he and the team had a great game today.  I'm going to enjoy watching all of them continue to grow together and hope those spurts start to get ironed out and this roller coaster has a few less dips. Keep pounding.
