The answer should be simple. The Eagles, regardless of Sunday’s assault on the Falcons, are a better team with Vick. This much was clear in the small sampling of games in which Vick played. He made Philadelphia’s offense more dynamic than it had been in years, dashing on long runs, forcing defensive coordinators to design special tactics just to control him which, in turn, opened more possibilities for players like Jeremy Maclin(notes) and DeSean Jackson(notes).

With Vick the Eagles are really good. With Kolb the Eagles are simply good, this even after Kolb’s three touchdown passes on Sunday and passing ratings of 103.3 (against 49ers) and 133.6 (vs. Falcons) in his past two games. This speaks to just how dominant Vick had been when he started.

Says it better than I could.

edit: And Jon Kitna was a 4000+ yard passer with the Lions too, doesn't make him a great QB.

I am still not sure. They don't mention the defenses Vick played against are among the worst in football, and the Falcons and 49ers where both top 10 defenses at the time Kolb played them.

There is also the injury factor. Vick gets hit more than any QB in football, and they are hard, awkward hits with him throwing his body around. I think he will get hurt often.

Holy ****! What happened to the Broncos? I'm up against a team that has Oakland's RB in my non-sharky league, and he got 43 points. ***

Damn right, go RAIDERS!

But yeah, Tom Cable tricked me into sitting McFadden this week, after saying he was questionable and would see limited action in the game at Denver.

McFadden has been a beast this year, he's missed a couple games from an injured hamstring, but every game hes started hes put up great numbers.

Oh yeah forgot to add, 59 points scored by the RAIDERS, which is the most they have ever scored in a single game in team history. That's one fact I didn't know, and surprised me as well.

Favre really sucks. They would be a much better team with even Tavaris Jackson starting IMO.

Stupid Broncos. That was without a doubt the worst game I have ever gone to. I seriously left at half time. I still hate McDaniels and everything he has done to the Broncos this is insane get him OUT NOW!

Vikings have cut Moss...he only last 1 month with team!
Jaguars beat Dallas pretty bad, Wade Philips is sure to be fired any day now.
Raiders and Lions looked good in wins yesterday.

Ya the Raiders are quite a surprise this year, crushing Denver like that and then making Seattle look really bad. Or maybe Seattle just *is* really bad, on the road at least.:o

I don't even know what to make of the Moss situation. Wonder if he makes his way back to Oakland now!

Hes just a jerkoff, I guess too much so to offset his talent.

Man if any of us went on a tirade like that at OUR jobs, we'd be canned in an instant. There's no need to feel sorry for Moss. Athletes treating people like garbage don't need to be playing at all.

You know some team will snatch him up. He is way too talented.

Moss to Titans. Should work nicely to open up running lanes for CJ2K. He is talented, but I would not want him on my team.

Now the question is, will the Titans keep him around longer than the Vikings did...maybe they will keep him around for a couple weeks until Britt is healthy ;)

It won't make any difference, it's clear all the players have checked out for the season, I don't see a new coach changing that now.

Also, Garret is an aweful offensive coach, I don't see how he will be a good head coach.

I don't understand why everyone is so surprised with the Cowboys sucking. The roster is "top heavy" with talent, and that makes them appear to be more talented than they are. They have 4-5 really good players at the top of there roster, the middle of the roster is mediocre and the bottom part is aweful. People don't realize how important 2nd string running backs, number 4 and 5 receivers, the 6th offensive linemen, number 2 tight ends, nickle and dime backs are to a team.

Would have thought that the Cowboys would have learned their lesson after signing Deion Sanders back in the 90's. They had a roster then that was DEEP. Deion's massive contract then raped them of their depth. AND quality players in starting positions as well.

Deion basically guaranteed them a Superbowl the year that they signed him. But I think that they would have won one anyways even without him. They were just way too strong. But I think that that one signing had more to do with the Cowboys demise in the 90's tha anything else.

Depth is important as you say. And it appears that Jerry Jones still hasn't figured that one out. Which is exactly why I think that he's one of the worst owners in the league. Because he meddles too much.
