Blows my mind that someone is going to pay him big bucks, but it will happen.

Thought I'm not sure Andy Reid wants to hitch his wagon to Vick for a second time.

 

Can't really fault Vick for that abysmal O-line in Philly though. KC already has a great line and if they were to use that #1 pick for Joeckel than Vick would probably have a great season. Especially in that weak division.

 

Just imagine the Vick/Jamaal Charles read option.

He's just injury prone IMO. His style is only going to get harder to maintain as he gets older and older.

I'm not sure a better Oline will change that, because his worst hits come from scrambling.

True, he's definitely undersized and his age isn't helping, but I feel that if he were to land anywhere, KC would be the ideal spot.

I think Vick could do well in a run first system like the Texans run. Something with a lot of play action, screens and bootlegs. I don't think he is best suited for a scheme that will ask him to do a ton of drop back passing. That is not his forte. I'm not sure where he'll wind up, but the situation would be ideal if he could be in a run first scheme I think.

Where do you think he lands?

 

Kansas City seems like a viable option now that Andy Reid is there. Maybe the Jets.

Eagles | Not releasing Michael Vick Tue Feb 5, 02:26 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles will not be releasing QB Michael Vick before the deadline Feb. 6, where $3 million of Vick's contract will become guaranteed. Eagles head coach Chip Kelly is still evaluating what the team is going to do at quarterback in 2013, and the team does not want to release Vick prematurely.

Our view: Vick could be a nice fit in the new offense Kelly is bringing to the NFL. We'll see if the team decides to keep him around after further evaluation.

Well the last time Vick was "released" it was a good thing for him. Now, I guess... not so much. ;)

 

I don't think he ends up with the Jets (not enough cap space, and too much money committed to the position already) or the Chiefs (Reid had to have learned his lesson). It would have to be a desperately desperate move of desperation by a desperate team.

 

Welcome to Arizona, Mike!

If he can still 'spin it' and heave it downfield, maybe BA would take a risk... none of that pistol / zone - read option college offense krapola for BA though... LOL

Vick has yet to have a GREAT season in his career and thats with having an elite LT in Jason Peters the last 3 years, Phillies O Line was nothing especially good but having Vick makes your O Line worse, if Vick starts a whole season its basically a given he will take at least 30 sacks do to his scrambling nature and holding onto the ball not to mention its all but guaranteed (given his track record of only doing it once) that he wont play a full 16 game season, yes I know he played 15 games 3 times but I dont think Howie Roseman said to Vick "Now we want you to play 15 games per season of mediocre football"

Vick's best career year (2010) was no better than what Wilson, Luck, or Griffin did as rookies.  He's not shown the ability to repeat that performance, he's not a guy who is worth big money, and I'd say at this point he is an average QB at best.

Not a starter in my opinion, a guy that can come in and win you some games but not do it consistent enough to be a starter

Maybe the eagles resign him for less money. It seems chip Kelly would want him more than most

He has stated he won't renegotiate his contract.  I personally wouldn't pick him up, but sure that some team will.  I would be hesitant to sign him as my starter with limited future and not sure how susceptible he is to being a backup.

Cutting and resigning isn't renegotiating. The eagles still might offer more than anyone else

Exactly right, GoPats. Jets are cash strapped & Reid isn't making the same mistake twice. AZ or bust. No other takers unless Vick agrees to be a backup QB.

Looks like he might stay with the eagles. They didn't cut him and they paid him the 3 million dollar roster bonus

      I do think the reason for the suspension is because of who he was speaking with. Clark is probably the most hyped prospective athlete to come to Indianapolis. Had this exchange happened with someone else it probably only makes the local tabloids. But Clark is national news-level celebrity status. It honestly kind of reminds me of Taylor Swift in terms of popularity and a fast rise of celebrity status.

      Early NFL power rankings

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      Bottom line is we should be ranked in the 14-18 range as a mediocre team for now, and until we sign a veteran CB or FS, you could make a case for ranking the Colts at 20 or so. It feels like an offseason as of now where we strengthened our strengths and didn't improve our weaknesses (besides WR). RB depth is still bad, TEs are still iffy with the same group based on potential after we missed out on Bowers, not sure if we actually have a solid cover LB, and the secondary is a mess still with only a couple day 3 additions and a re-signing of Blackmon for a year.   The strengths are great strengths and they should help carry us with the trenches. However, our team is going to depend a lot on players coming back that were hurt. Mostly at the QB position and the secondary (also TE with Woods which is underestimated). I would feel much better if we signed a one-year veteran at either CB or FS.   Otherwise, there are other teams in our division, conference, and in the NFL as a whole that got better in FA and the draft. A lot of teams picked ahead of us and had more picks/more draft value as well. I feel like we are that middle child type team where the top teams who pick lower in the draft are much better than us, and the worse teams sign lots of FAs every year and draft higher than us. It always feels like we lose ground or remain stagnant until we can get the QB position right. That needs to happen before we can become an elite team in the NFL, start regularly winning the division, and become a top 10 team on the normal.   My $0.02 cents.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By OhioColt · Posted

      I would rather not have to worry about drafting a backup QB too early especially with the talent in the upcoming 2025 NFL draft.  Rather wait and draft our QB3 in Rounds 5 or later.  Who knows maybe we hit on an UDFA and get a Mr. Irrelevant capable QB like the 49er's.
