Michael Vick is an Eagle?

Those were the first words I said when I saw the news. I could not believe it. Yesterday, Michael Vick signed a two-year deal with Philadelphia after rejecting a deal with Cincinnati. Good move? As an Eagles fan, I think yes. I know that he just spent two years in prison, but in terms of football, I think this is a good move for the Eagles. Vick is the only quarterback in NFL history to run for over 1000 yards, and I think that's how they'll use him. He will be great in the Wildcat, if the Eagles can learn it and teach him well, and they have two other major weapons they can use for it: DeSean Jackson and rookie Jeremy Maclin. The two have explosive speed, and using them with Vick could be very confusing for opposing defenses. They can put Vick and McNabb in the backfield, they can put Vick at QB, they can even put him at wide out and use him in a wide receiver reverse. Vick does have to prove himself this year that he really has changed, but I truly think he can do it, and I think he is a big help to the Eagles, who have numerous players with injuries.
