A Second Chance: A Better Chance
Sunday in Jacksonville, Michael Vick proved that he was far from a Kevin Kolb fill in. Not only is the once pro-bowler, and once inmate getting the second chance he dreamed of, he is playing with a supporting cast sent from the football gods; so let's get one thing straight. Michael Vick is starting solely because he is one of the NFL's prominent offensive weapons, and while PETA may not be convinced, the rest are getting there.
Just when it seemed like all was crashing down on Philadelphia, the water has calmed, and the light has shined through. Much to the chagrin of many, that light is Michael Vick. Vick has carried an ailing offense to two straight wins, putting up eye popping numbers, and making eye pleasing plays. Vick has joined an offense full of weapons, filled with the uncertainty of what's to come, and powered by the element of surprise. What he adds with his legs, arm, and experience, raises the hazard level significantly. What Vick does is create. His play making abilities will enable Desean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin to get in the open field and use their legs to make it happen as well. The possibilities for an offense that features the swift #7 are endless. So open up your mind and your eyes, and just enjoy the show.

It's "PETA", but good article Doc. I can't deny Vick's ability but I still can't stand the fact that people are dubbing Kolb a has-been after one half of football against a very good team. He threw for back to back 300 yard games last year (unless I missed something, Vick has never done that in his career)and looked pretty good, that doesn't happen by accident. I'm not saying Kolb is better then Vick right now, but I'm saying he at least deserves another shot, I just hope it comes with the Eagles.
