I was one of the people who really thought that Mike Vick still has a lot to offer a ton of NFL teams. I thought that he is a weapon in the purest sense of the word: he has the ability to make plays every single time that he touches the ball, and he gets to touch the ball on every play.

However, it seems like fate that a player that I defended ends up my least favorite team. When Vick signed, I got roughly 750,000 phone calls declaring that the Eagles were the best team in the history of football and that the Giants season was over.

People: Get a grip. The sky is not falling. We don’t even know when Vick will return and when he does, we don’t know what capacity that he’s going to be used in. Is he a quarterback? Is he a “weapon” like Pat White? Do we even know? Nope.

Second of all, no one has brought up the following scenario: What if Donovan McNabb struggles? What if he is throwing balls at Brent Celek’s feet in week seven? When will the “We want Vick” chants start? Think about the city that we are talking about. They once booed Santa Claus. It won’t take very long.

Think about Donovan’s relationship with the team. It’s pretty strained already. Now, if you throw in another benching for a guy like Michael Vick, we could be talking about a violent ending to this story.

Here’s the truth: The Giants and Eagles are two excellent football teams. They roughly have a 50-50 chance at winning the NFC East. However, if you are to change your pick from the Giants to Eagles because of Mike Vick, you are insane.
