Vick Officially Names 2013 Starter

[The Ref]

At least to start against the Redskins.

[Big Little]

Well so far he earned it

But if doofus keeps sliding head first he won't last long

[CCPete]

Rebuilding with a proven loser who has seen his best days years ago? That's not rebuilding. Foles played well enough to start for a team in transition. Or does the Chipster just want to roll the dice for his limited stay in Philly. A coach with a long term plan doesn't even have Vick on the team.

[Melchior]

Yeah, can't really bitch since it was a fair competition. Here's hoping this OL is legit and the chicken sticks to defensive plays.

[Melchior]

Unless Foles doesn't figure in to his longterm plans either. Then what good does it do and what message does it send to the team to play the QB that lost the competition in camp?

It looks more and more like Foles will be groomed and then traded once they pick up their guy in 2014 or later.

[Eagle In Ohio]

A proven loser, huh ?

So just what is it that Foles has proven that suggests he should be the starter ?

[Riccardo]

Vick named himself the starter?

[Loki]

ConstantlyCrabby would bitch

if Chip had named Tom Brady as his starter.

[Riccardo]

Yes cc is a proven loser

still trying to shoehorn everything into his idiotic "theory" that Chip will return to college in a year or 2

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Who did Vick name as the starter? Dennis Dixon?

Or was it Foles?

[nerd]

rebuilding with a 34 year old qb doesn't make sense.

7-9...woo!

i've actually lost some interest now.

[Sect 236]

And Foles makes them what, 12-4?

If you don't have the QB of the future on your roster, you begin rebuilding the rest of the roster until you have him.

Whatever QB gets them closer to Bridgwater is who the starter should be.

[nerd]

i'm sorry..where did i say that? i mean, point it out to me if you can...but i don't see where i wrote that.

i said i have no interest in watching an old qb who has had 1 decent year till teams figured him out and then he's been terrible since then.

i sort of get it from chip's perspective...he wants to win as fast as possible till he can go back to college...but from my perspective...vick stinks and brings no excitement. foles or barkley could be 4-12 or 5-11 and i would be happier than a 33 year old qb who is "meh" going 7-9 or 8-8.

[Sect 236]

I wasn't coming at you, I was just saying, they're not going to miss out on winning the Super Bowl by not starting Foles.

I'm excited for the season no matter who the QB is because Chip's O is going to be fun to watch and we don't have to listen to or watch the same ol Reid bs anymore. That's how I'm going to look at it, if Vick being the starter depresses you, that's understandable too.

[nerd]

that's what it is...i'm just like, "oh, another year of vick" (yeah, he'll get hurt and foles will start)...but if you want bridgewater...you would be better off starting barkley or foles. Starting Vick seems like a FF move.

i also happen to like barkley a bit...but his arm...i'm not a huge fan of it. he throw that screen to salas....and the ball took forever to get there.

oh well, blow for bridgewater.
