I find it hilarious that Valencia thinks he missed out on something. Right now this guy is not worth having on your roster at any price. Since being drafted number 1 over-all in 2001 (trading the pick that was used by the Chargers to draft LT) Vick has proven that he is simply NOT an NFL caliber QB.

Andy Reid has been on thin-ice that last few seasons and Michael Vick was a coach-killer a LONG time before he was a dog-killer. Say your goodbyes now. He saw the end of 3 coaching careers in Atlanta who couldn’t win with him at Quarterback. Yes, he WAS a tremendous athlete and made for good highlight footage, but he has been out of football for almost 3 years.. Jamal Lewis missed one season in prison and looked like tub of butter when he came back.

Seriously, there is no football upside to this move. Sorry Eagles fans, but if T.O. was poison, then Vick is venom. He never owned the respect of his team-mates in Atlanta and was never a good locker room presence. And now? Forget about it: any chance or focus the Eagles might have had on winning a Championship this year is completely flushed.

As for his fantasy value, I am sure the Eagles will list him as a QB, but will try to work him into some kind of gimmicky ‘Wildcat’ formation. Best case scenario, he might touch the ball 4-6 times a game. That is huge.


I am sorry LQ that your roster is so shallow that you can afford to waste a spot on Vick, but good luck with that move! Clearly you are rolling the dice and hoping to come up snake-eyes rather than making an informed decision on a legitimate developmental player.

And Valencia, like Mike Smith, the best thing that could’ve happened to you is that you ‘missed out’ on having Vick on you roster.
