So, how do you guys think Michael Vick will do in this new offense?

The same as usual. He'll have a few highlight reel plays but he's not a consistent enough passer to be an effective QB over the long term. He'll also turn it over a bunch before eventually getting injured.

same old shyt to be honest, probably even worst.... i see a lot of turnovers being thrown by vick and on top of that he STILL doesn't have any protection...

I think it'll be helpful for him. This offensive system used at Oregon, if we use that for example, had success regardless of the QB. Experienced QB out. Brand new QB in. And the result was still wins for the ducks program. So its basically called and controlled from the sideline. With the QB making option reads on the move, which vick can do easily.

Difference is, Oregon had a big advantage in speed/athleticism with Nike money buying blue chippers.

The Eagles aren't going to have that talent advantage in the NFL.

Lots of turnovers, more injuries, more news about him on the verge of him losing his job.

More of the same.

Hard to say without knowing exactly what the offense is gonna be, and if the rest of the offense (especially the line) improves or not.

Kind of surprised that a lot of people have already written off Vick despite the fact that we have yet to see what type of offense Kelly is going to run. Reputation is a hard thing to break.

I think it will be simplified and easier for Vick. I think he will be good and i think the Eagles will make the playoffs.

It will be interesting to see how simplified the offense will be as Kelly makes his adjustment from NCAA to NFL.

You know there was only 1 starter from week one that made it through the whole season healthy on the O-line ?
Hopefully Luke Joeckel falls to us at 4. And some people forget we missed the best LT in the NFL all season. I doubt its that bad again.

But yea it will be the same old same old. Hopefully he doesn't pass it more than 20-25 times, take the decision making out of his hands and just feed the ball to Shady,D Jax even Bryce Brown.

As a fan I'm not really happy with bringing Vick back but its just a wait and see at this point.

I think Kelly is going to be utilizing a pass happy offensive scheme with the Eagles.

it all comes down to how well that o-line protects him, if they can keep him upright for the most part I can see Vick having a relatively good year

It comes down to how long Vick holds onto the ball.

If the new system requires quicker releases, then he won't hold on to the ball as long. Kelly likes the vertical passing game, so Vick might be required to hold on to it longer.
