Stick With Vick
Posted by David on July 12th, 2010
When the Philadelphia Eagles acquired Michael Vick, it was met with a lot of publicity. Much of that publicity was negative. Seen as a criminal, many did not believe that he deserved a chance. And last season, many thought that Philadelphia was not properly using him.
With a hefty salary and a new heap of trouble, many Eagles fans are wishing for his release. There are other serviceable backup quarterbacks on the free agent market. However, the Eagles should not release Vick. What if Kolb gets injured? What if he stinks up the joint? Vick at least has experience at starting quarterback, even if he has more recent experience in prison.
He is exciting, and is still a fun player to watch. Yes, football is not all fun, but fun may be a huge factor in the upcoming season if the Eagles played mediocre football like they may. Vick provides excitement, and now that he has playing time under his belt, and a full training camp to prepare, the Eagles should not pull the trigger and release Vick. If they stuck with him this long, there is no point in ending it now.
