As most of you know, the Eagles signed Michael Vick to be their backup quarterback. I'm not sure why. He's not the missing piece of the puzzle for the Eagles. The Eagles have been missing one piece for a number of years, and every year, whether it's through the draft or free agency, they fail to address it. The Eagles need a power running back, someone with size who can get tough yards and fight through tackles. I said the same thing last year. They suck near the goal line because they don't have a good fullback or big running back who can convert third and goal or fourth and goal.
How does Vick address this? He doesn't. They can put him in as a Wildcat quarterback near the goal line to give defenses something else to think about, but do they really want to be taking out Donovan McNabb in scoring situations. He's their best player. The other thing with Vick is all the media he drags behind him. Is a backup quarterback worth a season-long media circus?
