vick out for TB game

[Ellsworth]

got a feelign he'll be out for a few after that as well.

i'm not sure how long it takes for a QB to come back from a hamstring injury. even though vick runs he won't be out as long as a WR or RB would.

i hope we see a lot more of the foles read option this week.

Is it just me, or does it seem that Chips O game plan has become a lot more vanilla over the last couple of weeks?

I do want to see Foles run an uptempo O, he seems to do better in that game plan.

Time to see if Foles can step up his game. I haven't seen enough from him to be convinced he's anything more than a reliable backup so far.

[Ellsworth]

feel same way. decent fill in but hasn't shown that he is 'the guy' in anything more than a flash here or there.

good backup but that's about it. small sample size but we'll know more soon enough, right? only 1 real way to tell: watch him play on sundays.

I think Foles has to play really well for at least 2 full games before Kelly could reasonably name him the starter. The "hot hand" justification needs at least that long.

kelly said that foles would have to go 100 for 100 to be named starter....so since that isn't going to happen. I'm assuming that even if he throws for 300 and 4td's...vick will be the starter as soon as he is ready.

For one game, maybe. But if Vick has to be out two games and Foles strings together a couple good ones, Kelly might make a change. Chip doesn't gain anything by saying Vick could lose the job by Sunday night if Foles has a good game (against another winless team).

But if he put up big numbers against Tampa then had to start a second game and beat the Cowboys...well, that's different. A game and a half of relief isn't enough. Two and a half might be.

If there's a big enough sample size, Foles could take the job. But it'd have to be at least two full starts before he could be comfortable making that move.

If Foles beats TB and the Cowboys, he'll be given the starting job until he loses. Book it.

i'm going to think it's going to be pretty difficult. He isn't a rookie...but it's not like he started all 16 games his rookie year. he played in 7...started 6. So he may have played a total of 8 games in his career so far.

I get it that if he plays really well he may take over...but that's another reason i'm not going to kill him...but kill vick for what he does.

vick has had 10+ years and over 100 starts to get his shit figured out...and it's still the same old stuff. that's pretty much why i want something different. i was excited in 2010 when vick was money....and then the vikings figured out the new vick...and then he became the old vick again.

i just don't like vick...hated him in atlanta and i started to grow to like him in 2010...but now...he's the same qb.
