How do we feel about Vick succeeding in Philly?

I wrote this. It's long, and there's a poll.

I wish him all the best, except against his old team.

It’ll be fun to see if his brain can develop to match the physical tools he was given.

And he HAS to play. How else are we gonna keep up with the Marcus Vick “Twi-Mike Saga.” Talk about a vampire….

How many more days, Lord, must I walk through the wilderness?

As long as he doesn't beat us, Best Wishes Mike...

I say...

Good for him. Seriously, but I want to see him play against a team not named the Lions. And the Packers? They weren’t prepared for him, and Vick LOVES running all over the Packers.

Still miss him. We had to move forward. But I can’t stopping loving the guy. Would prefer he was hiding in the AFC though so we’d almost never play the guy. He’s still TOO good!

and I sure do love watching him play. I don’t care about the Eagle’s record so I hope that Kolb falls on his face bad enough that Vick gets that job permanently. I like the surrounding cast there in Philli and Vick makes such a great fit there.

Vick officially named the starter in Philli (for week 3)

He deserves it. Just imagine if he was as dedicated for Atlanta as he has been for Philli… I’m glad to watch him lighting it up again. Hopefully Atlanta can play him and beat him when we play Philli…. that is going to be an awesome game if he holds that starting job.

Love Vick

Always have, always will. People like to talk about Ryan and how he “saved” us from the nightmare that was ’07, but Vick also once revived this franchise. He is a direct reason why the Falcons set records selling out the Dome for three straight years. He energized this fanbase like never before and he brought excitement to more than just our team; he brought a whole new level of excitement to the league in general. He completely changed the way the otehr team played the game and he still does that now.

I have never condoned what he did off the field, but I’ve also never crucified him for it either. The fact that what he did holds more weight, not only within our justice system, but also in the public’s mind, than what Leonard Little (4yrs probation and 1K hours community service for DUI Manslaughter) and Donte Stallworth (30 days in jail, 1k hours community service, 2yrs house arrest, 8yrs probation for DUI 2nd Degree Manslaughter) have done simply blows me away. Vick has been publically vilified, didn’t settle out of court, and has served his almost all of his full sentence and has made it back to the top.

I applaud him and I hope he continues to succeed. I love watching him play and will continue to watch him play until he decides he’s done for good.
