BREAKING.. Vick to the Eagles

[RosettaStoned]

This sets the stage for the greatest matchup ever;






PETA vs Philly fans.

I am pumped. :D

Two of the biggest groups of douchebags. Should be interesting.

[Derrville]

I dont think an injury in a pre season game that causes him to miss 11 games, is considered A LOT. It was one injury.

He played four full seasons in Atlanta. Only missing 11 games in 2003 from injury and didn't play a full season in his rookie season when he was still learning the ropes in 2001.

He hasn't been injured ALOT in his career, what are you talking about?

Anyways, Welcome back Vick!

Had injuries 01,02,03,04,05.

[Sharkweather]

He started 15 games in each 02, 04, 05... yeah that is terribly injury prone.

[Point Blank]

Are you counting little sissy injuries man? You must be cause I've never heard Vick was injury prone..lol. He's only had 1 serious injury. I don't recall others, please refresh my memory.

[Derrville]

Doesnt matter, he missed games. At the QB position, No way he lasts at any other position.

Absolutely meaningless. In the NFL, every single player gets injured. There are nearly 3,500+ injuries reported every year.

I could pull out a list of how Tom Brady constantly has shoulder injury reported every week. Apparently, no one calls him injury prone.


EDIT: Perfect example, Brett Favre.

Name a game he missed.

[Derrville]

See thats Brett Favre.... not a career average QB. Favre shits on Vick. Vick cant hold Favre's jock strap.

Lol @ you for even trying to compare Favre and Vick.

None the less its mind boggling how almost all of you suck Vicks average, overrated dick.

He compared Favres injuries to Vicks not them as players . Never did he try and compare them in terms of talent , never did he say Vick was a good player and never did he say Vick was more than average .

I think you missed the point in his post completly . Most players go into games with "Injuries" or "knocks" .... if they don't miss PT it's matterless imo . If an average play hurts his knee and then a star goes and hurts his knee in the same way , it's still a god damn knee injury either way you look at it , so Vicks talent level isin't important when talking about wether he is injury prone or not . If he still played through them knocks then he is just the same as many other players in the NFL in that regard.

Anyways ... nice to see Vick got signed .... good or bad he brings something different to an NFL offense . Wouldn't have wanted my team to take the risk on him but as a neutral he is fun to watch for me even when he is sucking out

[Mogriffjr]

SOMEONE CALL THE WAAAAAMMMBULANCE

Philly fans are such babies.

Sal Pal was on Mike and Mike and he's reporting that fans were coming out to the concourse, complaining, some crying, some saying their giving up their season tickets...I mean give me a fucking break Philly.

Vick can do some special things with the football in his hands...he's in a role where IMO he can succeed...not much presssure to do anything major since the Eagles have McNabb...and god knows the Eagles needed another weapon offensively since the Eagles really didn't do much to upgrade the weapons around McNabb. I don't really call Maclin a huge upgrade...we don't know what he can become...they do have two speedsters with Jackson and now Maclin. TE they took a hit with Ingram's knee again but they still have Celek.

SMH @ Philly.

Just thought I should reply with something that makes an equal amount of sense.

There's the point you missed.

SMH @ Philly.

I honestly believe that any city would give him that reaction though because of the nature of the people, not necessarily the city.

Winning cures everything.

[Mogriffjr]

exactly Jeff.

He executes a sick play....Philly fans will be excited.

Funny how they are one of the worse fans in america and they'll boo anyone...so I'm not surprised by this...but those who overreact by crying, not supporting the team...grow a pair and STFU. You can not like the move but for those who take it to the extreme, that's wack.
