Michael Vick Staying With Philadelphia Eagles

[IE]

One of the biggest questions of the 2013 NFL offseason has just been answered. ESPN?s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a one-year restructured contract with quarterback Michael Vick. The deal will keep Vick in Philadelphia at a discounted price.


Vick teamed up with new Eagles head coach Chip Kelly? Oh, this is going to be fun. Vick?s skill set will fit right into the wheelhouse of what Kelly wants to install with the Eagles offense. Of course, Vick will first need to beat out Nick Foles for the team?s starting quarterback gig.

The restructured deal is a three-year deal that will essentially turn into a one-year contract when the final two years are voided out on March 15.

This is not about dogs, or ability, or whether I like Vick. I do, by the way, because there is much to be said for screwing up, for atoning and for taking advantage of your second chance. This is mostly about why it hasn?t worked with him, or why it has only worked to a certain point. Because something always seems to happen, an injury or an interception, that keeps all of that crazy potential from turning into Super Bowls, championships or ? lately ? even winning seasons. And why despite knowing all of this Kelly is jumping in anyway.

This, of course, is exactly why guys like Vick are coach killers. They show you just enough to keep you coming back, to keep you believing long past when you should, to keep you thinking ?it will be different this time, it will be different with me,? to keep you thinking we cannot give up on this guy quite yet. It is why so many coaches end up dying on the same hills, thinking, ?How did I not see this coming?? That is exactly what Andy Reid had to be thinking on his way out the door, yet he probably understands better than most what Kelly just did. And if he were back for another year, he might very well have again gone all in with Vick.

It is the allure of the talent that ultimately kills you.

Vick is deserving of getting a shot from the Eagles and the new regime in place. Chip Kelly is a smart smart man and envied by many coaches in the profession (CFL, NCAA & NFL & Arena) LOL, but seriously - if Vick had the blockers and if Reid didn't screw up play calling with Marty and just let the kid do his thing, the Eagles may have had a better year, but the players lost all confidence in Andy, his system and the finger pointing got to the extreme that no one liked each other. They need to get rid of Nnamdi & Cromartie and let this Draft fall into their laps as there are tons of very good linemen on both sides of the ball coming out. McCoy could excel in Chip's offensive scheme, but it opens the door for Lewis and Brown as well, three very capable runnings backs, one with fumble-itis which Chip won't allow to get past training camp.

With that all said, the Eagles doing this 1 yr contract with Vick, opens the door for a possible trade as well, since there isn't a lot of time tied up in this contract so it could be a thing behinds the scenes that say, yeah - let's sign him to a 1 yr deal and trade him for someone or some pick(s) in this upcoming draft. Perhaps to Andy Reid at KC!!

Eagles have been the biggest disappointment the last 2 yrs in the NFL, not just for all the hype, but for the fans of this team, like I have been for 42 yrs now.

If Vick stays on this team and the line can stay healthy, there is no telling how good this team will be. You have to remember too, the defense wasn't that bad, but when the defense is on the field for 75% of the time and offense on the field for 25% of the time, it's going to grind you!!

Later!!

Good stuff!!

You know what it has me thinking about? Every Roy Jones Jr fight after he won the heavyweight championship. Skills and reflexes seriously eroded...
