Michael Vick to start Sunday

by Eric Schwartz

Tuesday September 21, 2010 

Fans who wanted to see more of Michael Vick will get their wish.

Andy Reid said Vick will be the team’s starting quarterback for this week’s game against Jacksonville and beyond.  As it turns out the decision has nothing to do with Kolb’s concussion and everything to do with Vick’s play.

“Kevin is fine. It’s not an injury-related issue,” Reid said during his press conference. “It’s not about judging him. He’s going to be a championship-caliber quarterback.”

Reid’s decision comes as a surprise since he came out yesterday and named Kolb the starter for Sunday.

Vick is coming of consecutive strong performances, passing for 284 yards passing and two TDs in a 35-32 win at Detroit on Sunday and throwing for 175 yards and one touchdown and ran for 103 yards in the opener.

Reid said Vick is one of the hottest quarterbacks in the league and there was no way he could sit him (of coarse that is a complete 180 of yesterday’s statement that Kolb was the guy going forwards.

The most rediculous part of the conference was that Reid said he did not think this move would hurt Kolb and insisted that it would help Kolb in the future. Remind me again the last time a QB got better for benched?

This move is already drawing praise from some and scorn from others. Check back to phillysportsblogs tomorrow for complete reaction on today’s big news.

    Just goes to show how the Eagles say one thing when they are really planning on something else.

    Vick is great because he beat the LIONS by a field goal ??? I hope Kolb gets traded somewhere he can get some respect and the Eagles get stuck with Vick when they play some real teams. Then Lurie will fire Reid and we can all get on with our lives. The Eagles are hypocrites and deserve to have a convicted felon at QB in keeping with their professional ethics, or lack thereof.

    yea bottom line is Reid needs to go. He can take his jail bird sons and QB with him too.

    As a fan I want a winner we have waited long enough. I feel Vick is a winner so I’m down with him.

    hey Sandy, looks like you get to keep waiting. I hate to tell you, but the Eagles dominance in the NFC East is over. At best they are a has been .500 team at worst they are a national laughingstock.
