Is it a guarantee that Vick is an Eagle??

Vick isn't under contract, Kolb is. Today during the presser, Andy Reid said that he wants BOTH Vick and Kolb back on the team next year. Personally, I don't see that happening. Kolb's trade value is high and Vick is due for a new deal so something is going to give. If the Eagles decide to make a long-term commitment to Kolb, rather than a relatively short term commitment to Vick then he becomes a legitimate option for us. Ideally, if he became available we could sign him to a deal between 2 and 4 years. I hate the style of QB that he used to be but his pocket passing has really improved since the ATL days. I'd give it a shot if he was there for the taking.

I'd also take Kolb if they were willing to trade him.

They will want more for Kolb than what he has proven to be worth. I think the only way Vick stays with the Eagles is if the franchise tag him. Which might no be available after the CBA. I think Vicks could come here. But I would be surprised to see him stay with the Eagles.

For some reason, I see it playing out just like Squirrel said. They didn't really want Vick starting last year until Kolb got hurt and he played so good they couldn't bench him. I think they would prefer to tag him so they can get something back for him regardless, but I think it's very possible we'd have a shot at him b/c I think they're gonna let him walk.

I think it's funny. When a player has one good season, people start saying "We should bring him to Carolina!" But these are the same people who say "Cut him!" as soon as he has one bad season.

As for Vick, I say why not. He's going to be on the end of his career so it would be a temporary solution that needs a long-term fix.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
