[usatoday] Michael Vick: I'm ready to take reins as Eagles' starter again

Vick was a bit rusty. He threw at least 3 balls that should have been intercepted and continued to stay inbounds or upright instead of running out or sliding. Hopefully he gets those corrected next week in a big MNF game against Washington.

 

I wish I could be so rusty, those balls were coming out like lasers

 

i think though overall he played a very impressive game..you expect those sort of things after coming back from an injury and being out what 4 weeks?


next monday night should be fun...McNabb against the Eagles again and Vick gets to try to go against the team that knocked him out

 

His accuracy wasn't really as on point as it has been, in terms of this season. I hadn't seen that many questionable throws from him to this point. I think he had as many yesterday as in all other games combined this season. Velocity was great though.

 

as much as he is fun to watch run, I love watching the ball come out his hands, its just like steve young only faster

 

ah, Ron Mexico is back!!!

it is fun to watch him...If only Kolb had his legs, the eagles would be unstoppable...

 

Vick is the man! He has some tough matchups coming up though. Hopefully they're all as good as this. :grin:

 

I love watching Vick right now, despite hating the Eagles. And he has been a fantasy savior for me, giving me a narrow victory tonight with SIXTY TWO POINTS in one of my leagues!!

 

Hating the Eagles?
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

This is way, way more fun than those years of futility growing up. :grin:

 

what a great story. good for him.

 

I'll stop short of that....but. He looked unbelievable last night, and it's true that he NEVER looked this good as a Falcon.

Amazing display he put on last night.

And Skins fans have to be cutting themselves after the one two punch of McNabb's ridiculous extension followed by such an embarrassing drubbing. Division game too, that in all likelihood ended their playoff hopes.

 

Last night was probably his best game, but I wouldn't say he never looked this good as a falcon. He had some amazing games in Atlanta. People have short memories. Remember this run in overtime against the vikings?

That was one play. He has always been an electrifying player, no doubt but what he did last night was something that has never been seen in a game before. In addition to his running abilities, he appears to be a much more complete quarterback. He has never looked this good as a Falcon quarterback.

 

Vick had a lot of good moments in Atlanta, but in Philly he is on another level. Last night was the best offensive performance I have ever watched in the NFL.

 

Unrelated, but I found this while looking at Vick Highlights. Look at this Beast.

was that a techmo bowl game, how much of it is prison making him focus, and how much of it is good coaching

 

you're absolutely right. i was critical of Vick as a complete QB when he was in ATL. but he's off the charts good right now. i'm really impressed. and happy that he's managed to turn himself around. i'm definitely a fan.
