So I guess the Eagles can pretty much have it any way they want now huh? That is good for them, not so good for the rest of the NFC East. <br /><br />Sean, I for some reason have never liked Vick. Not at VT, not in Atlanta and now I don't like him in Philly. It is a great pick up for them, if he works out of course. <br /><br />Hat Guy doesn't even really know what he is talking about anymore. Pedro was a great pickup for the Phils and any one who doubts that can just take Jamie Moyer and see how that turns out. <br /><br />Thanks, I don't know if I will let Fred out quite yet.

Always liked him and I am certain he caught a raw deal. Keep those electric games to the 14 you don't play the NYG and I be cool. Plus, I swear, I loathe the Iggles. <br /><br />Anyway, HatGuy needs someone to keep him on track. As a self admitted Philly hater, I was torn. Ultimately, since the Phils were ahead by a kajillion I just rooted for Petey. <br /><br />Another great post BGF.

Teams typically only activate 2 QBs in a game (and designate a 3rd emergency QB). However, there is nothing magical about the 3rd QB. If a team wanted to put all 3 QBs on the active roster for a game, then any of them could come in legally at any time.<br /><br />If the emergency QB comes in before the 4th quarter, than no other active QBs may play the remainder of the game. However, the emergency QB can come in during the 4th quarter.<br /><br />Thus, if the Eagles really wanted to, they could activate McNabb, Kolb, and Vick for the game if they wanted Kolb to be McNabb's backup but wanted to use Vick for a utility purpose.<br /><br />Just wanted to clarify the technical difference between 3rd QB and emergency QB, though they are nearly always the same player.RuleBooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-85436547095757175792009-08-14T19:44:36.948-04:002009-08-14T19:44:36.948-04:00I don't know how much McNabb should be worried...I don't know how much McNabb should be worried...Vick is the only guy in the league who can throw bullet passes to his recievers' feet harder than McNabb can.ivnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-56828050548769539182009-08-14T18:49:08.793-04:002009-08-14T18:49:08.793-04:00As I stated previously, Pedro Martinez isn't t...As I stated previously, Pedro Martinez isn't the greatest pitcher anymore, but he is an upgrade over Jamie Moyer and he fits the Phillies very well in that he can go out and give up a couple of runs and have a good chance to win the game because he has a good offense behind him. He is going to keep them in the game and I think the Dodgers should have looked at him a little more closely, especially given the asking price. I also was a little surprised the Marlins weren't more interested. <br /><br />That is true. Vick may not even be back. It's a great deal for Vick because he gets to be on a team that could make the playoffs and he doesn't have to be the man. Plus there are weapons around him to where he won't necessarily be the defensive focal point once he gets on the field. <br /><br />His being in shape is what I am interested in and why I think most commentators who are dumb enough to try and guess what this does for the Eagles are stupid. I personally don't see how/why McNabb signed off on this because he can be kind of a baby. Of course, I think he believes he is out of Philly soon either way. Vick is going to have rough time of it if he struggles. McNabb can't exactly love this move either, unless he has become a great team player and not as much of a whiner over the past year. <br /><br />This doesn't say a whole hell of a lot about Kevin Kolb does it? Injured or not injured it is clear he hasn't been good enough to beat out McNabb and I am not sure if they like him enough to have him be the backup with Vick as the 3rd QB simply because if the 3rd QB comes in the game, I don't believe the starter can come back in...so if Vick is labeled as a QB then Kolb will be 3rd on the depth chart. <br /><br />If he trained with anyone related to Brett Favre or anyone who knows Brett Favre there should be no problems.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-7473555222735066592009-08-14T17:12:39.128-04:002009-08-14T17:12:39.128-04:00Vick's signing is a true kick in the nuts to K...Vick's signing is a true kick in the nuts to Kevin Kolb. <br /><br />According to Peter King's column, Vick will be working with someone who coached Brett Favre, or who knew Favre, or maybe someone who knew Favre's cousin.

He can't come back before Week 6, but he's not certain to come back then.<br /><br />I think that from Vick's perspective, this is a good deal. There's a clear-cut #1 ahead of him, and Philly has plenty of other playmakers. He can't be nearly in football shape at this point in time, and I'm not sure he could play 10 games at his former pace.<br /><br />From Philly's perspective, it's a curious signing. McNabb's been pretty fragile mentally the past few years. I keep thinking about that hissy-fit he threw when they dared draft a 2nd-round QB in Kevin Kolb. I can't think that bringing in someone as high-profile as Vick will help McNabb's confidence. Also, Vick hasn't really done anything to make me think he can run a West-Coast style offense.<br /><br />Oh well, at least the always-forgiving Philly fans will surely welcome Vick with open arms.The Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323030436625176444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-77305448624685064802009-08-14T13:38:58.434-04:002009-08-14T13:38:58.434-04:00For some reason a lot of writers want to give the ...For some reason a lot of writers want to give the Phillies shit for signing Pedro, and I don't understand why. As you said, he's been signed as a 5th starter, for cheap money. He should be better then just about every 5th starter out there, and if he keeps them in enough games that they can go 5-2, I'm sure the Phillies will be happy. If he keeps them in enough games and they go 2-5, they'll be less happy, but it wouldn't be Pedro's fault. As long as he pitches better then Moyer did, they will be happy I bet. Heck, I wish the Dodgers had signed him, he's got to be better then trotting out Jeff Weaver or Eric Stoltz every 5th day.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086638597582394978noreply@blogger.com
