Reid on Vick "We'll evaluate It as we Go"

[Street Knowledge]

Reid gives tepid endorsement of Vick | News | NFL.com


The Philadelphia Eagles are 2-1 on the season. The level of panic in Philadelphia is more indicative of an 0-3 squad.

Coach Andy Reid was asked if he's considering a quarterback change .

"Right now we're with Michael. We'll evaluate it as we go," Reid said, via CSNPhilly.com.

This wasn't just coachspeak. Reid knows exactly how those words will play in Philadelphia and in Vick's noggin. You don't hear Bill Belichick say he'll "evaluate" Tom Brady . John Fox doesn't say Peyton Manning is his quarterback "right now."

It might seem unfair to compare Vick to those two players, but those are the expectations. Vick earns $12.5 million this year and $15.5 million next year. That's assuming he's even around next year.

Reid wouldn't make this weak of an endorsement of Vick unless he had another option. Rookie Nick Foles was highly impressive in the preseason and Reid might want to take a look at him. It's possible Foles would be a better option behind a leaky offensive line.

Vick has officially been "hit" 28 times this year, which is the highest number of the NFL. The FOX broadcast counted 21 hits for him on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals , which is an outrageous number. The offensive line deserves a lot of the blame, but Vick's decision-making is part of the problem. He's accounted for four touchdowns this year and turned the ball over nine times.

If Vick doesn't turn that ratio around, Reid's evaluation will only get tougher.

Mr Reid making Evaluations? I Love It,im sure he will make the right move

 

[Vancouver Grizzly Fan]

Vick is DONE! The Eagles were stupid for giving him that contract.

 

[Ready2Rhyme]

Philly needs to evaluate the coaching situation, not as they go, but right now, forreal.

Evaluations? Aren't you supposed to do that shyt before the start of the regular season? Smh how about you run the fukking ball for once fat Andy. This dude Reid had Vick throw what was it, 59 times against the Browns? Vick throwing 59 times?

 

[Slystallion]

Wow giants could pretty much end Vicks future as a starter if they tear him up...

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

V youre never winning a title with his inconsistent fragile ass at QB

Cant beleive this dude still has stans that think hes elite when he hasnt won a playoff game in 7 years and has never put together two really good seasons in a row

 

[Trip]

turnovers get coaches fired

Hilarious.

Vick throws the ball an inordinate amount of times, so he gets hit an inordinate amount of times ... but it's VICK's decision-making that gets called into question?

*Continues to file the paperwork*

Andrew doesn't understand that his poor playcalling is major part of our problem.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

The black posters on this board would be terrible GMs. They would sign vick and vince young and have them on the field at the same time.

Line vick up a RB, call audible, vick moves to QB and young moves to WR.


These nikkaz are DONE.

 

[mikishere]

thats the right answer... even though his horrible ass coaching/play calling/injured o-line has Vick in this position... Vicks been playing pretty bad for the most part and is showing he has 0 pocket presence at all... if shyt doesnt change vs the Giants i say put Nick Foles in for Week 5

all i know is at the end of the year, reid needs to be fired UNLESS we win the superbowl

I been supporting Reid for a long ass time, but he ain't getting it done. This dude Reid has had Vick in shotgun position on the 1 yard line at the goaline. Even though it was Vick's fault for that fumble and return for a TD last night, that Eagles OL is terrible as fukk. Reid has McCoy as there RB and he hardly has been getting carries it seems. He's a top 5 RB, use him. I'm convinced Reid must be playin' Madden too much, running with RB can be boring on Madden, but passing though on Madden is straight That's the only way I can see why Reid doesn't give McCoy the ball hardly and always wants to run passing plays.

 

[Mr swag]

he can backup RG3 and RG3 can show him how its done

For fukks sake, he's turned the ball over 9 times in 3 games! Of course his decision making gets called into question.

I don't care how much Reid has him throwing the ball; that shyt is unacceptable! Reid takes some blame obviously, but IMO Vick is much, much closer to losing his job right now than Reid, and rightfully so.
