Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Eagles QB Michael Vick will meet with the Eagles within the next 2-3 weeks to discuss his future, as Vick would prefer to compete for a starting job. The Eagles currently have three quarterbacks on the roster and there are rumors that Donovan McNabb might be available via trade despite head coach Andy Reid saying otherwise to the media. The Eagles could opt to let Michael Vick leave as a unrestricted free agent or pick up a $5 million bonus for 2010 which if they did would signal they would want to proceed with Vick as their starter.

If Kurt Warner retires in the next "2-3 weeks," maybe the Cardinals would be an ideal landing spot for him. Imagine that, two lefties competing for a starting QB spot.
:icon_rolleyes:Wow. Cardinals are a passing team, that is a skill that Vick lacks. The only team I see that is desperate/dumb enough to trade for him are the Raiders. If no one trades for him, then he is going to get cut because who is going to pay 4.3 million or so for a useless roster spot taker.
Vick wasn't that terrible of a passer, especially at the latter part of his career. His numbers are misleading as they do not account for drops, poorly run routes, and being flushed out of the pocket. He was nowhere near great, but he wasn't a terrible passer, more like mediocre. Cardinals are becoming a running team, especially knowing that Kurt Warner does not have much time left and Leinart cannot fill in. If Kurt Warner retires and you're Arizona (if you can't get McNabb), what do you have to lose?
I'd be shocked if we got rid of McNabb and kept Vick as starter. I'd love to get rid of McNabb though.
The Cardinals are not becoming a running team, they are becoming more balanced, but they are a pass first offense. What do they have to lose? How about the loss of their biggest weapon in Fitzgerald. Vick is not in any way shape or form a QB fit for a pass orientated offense.
Because Leinart hasn't shown me he can do anything with that offense. I just don't trust him as a starting NFL QB.
And you would trust a guy who hasn't played QB in three plus years? A guy who has had trouble making reads and with accuracy?
Vick has always had hidious accuracy and would never sit in the pocket, and the WR comments seem unfounded considering both Roddy White & Michael Jenkins immediately broke out when he went behind bars. And the Cardinals becoming a running team??? 28th in Rushing Yardage and 32nd in Attempts suggests otherwise.
While I just can't imagine this EVER happening I will go on record as saying that while I could eventually get behind a Kolb led Eagles team I will never root for a Vick led one.
No. Hue Jackson and Joe Horn getting in Roddy's butt is what got Roddy turned around. Jenkins still hasn't turned around and has been a waste of cap space since he was drafted by this team. He has hardly contributed to this team at all. And I mean they're making strides to become more of one. They actually have a legit running threat in Wells and Hightower is a nice change of pace back. They have the capability to go to a running team should Warner retire. Again, check Vick in 06, he was never a GREAT passer, but he wasn't terrible. It's too easy for everyone to look at his game stats and go "oh, he's obviously terrible." It's also easy to just crap on him for what he did, but at one point in time, 05 if I remember correctly, Vick had a completion percentage of 56, with a total of 7% of his pass attempts dropped. Now no WR or core is perfect, passes get dropped, but 7% is way too much. SN: Wrong year, it was 04. It was the next year that Mora began to get too pass happy with a team built around running and drove us into sub-par seasons. You put him in the right system, he can play. He's gained a work ethic from having something he never had in Atlanta, someone telling him that his raw talent isn't good enough and that he's got to step it up. Vick's problem was work ethic, not lack of capability.
Lol at people thinking that Vick should start anywhere. Vick will never be a long term starter for any team. He might get a sniff somewhere, but he'll get replaced soon enough. He had some success early on in his career, but once teams figured him out and watched how the Bucs used to play him, he couldn't beat teams with his arm. He was always a bad decision maker. He doesn't have the same wheels anymore either. He's a decent back up to have if your team is lacking in that department, but that's about it.
