Ray Diddy: Vick Not A Good Fit With Eagles

On the football side, mine is a minority view. I don’t think Vick will have much impact. I don’t think he will be a huge difference maker, nor do I think he will be a distraction or a team-wrecker. In a football sense, I think he’ll be the one thing he’s never been in his whole life: I think he’ll be just another guy.

He has been away from the game for two whole years, which is a long time for any player and an eternity for a quarterback. He is coming back without the benefit of training camp, which means he won’t have much time to learn the plays and get back in football shape. The opener is less than a month away, so the team doesn’t have time to stop, or even slow down, to work the very odd fit that is Michael Vick into the offense.

I can't agree more with Ray Didinger. Michael Vick doesn't fit the Eagles at all.

• Vick is not an accurate passer. That is pretty important to play in a west coast offense.
• Vick has been out of football for two years. Who knows how fast he even is anymore?
• Coach Andy Reid insists Vick will play QB, when asked how he will be used.
• Reid also says that Kevin Kolb is the backup QB.

So the Eagles took this huge PR hit to sign a third string QB who may or may not run a trick play here or there? This move just seems more foolish every day that passes. I just don't get what they are doing.

In other news profootballtalk.com started a rumor that Donovan McNabb says he wants Plaxico, too'. I don't know whether or not McNabb actually wants Plaxico or not, but I do know that this rumor is based off a simple comment in McNabb's weekly press conference.

McNabb was asked if he would like the Eagles to bring in Plaxico, and he just gave a typical PC answer that he would be for anything that improves the team. Pretty big stretch by PFT. I wouldn't expect anything else from them.
