I honestly think it will be a total flop.

Good news for the Cowboys. Vick is the new McNabb (in the latter years of his career). He is at the point where I want to see him take the field against us.

Vick with Chip...If Vick can muster it up for a year...the Eagles could be dangerous.

Or a complete circus.

They've always been dangerous on offense. To me the big question is whether they can shore up their defensive issues and turnover problems.

Year one, I think it very well might be, too. It's going to all depend on how well Chip can adjust to running his offense in a league where he doesn't have an amazing athletic advantage over everybody else. I don't think what he did in Oregon will translate directly. I don't know what to think, yet, about what he might do to adjust it for the NFL. I do think it'll probably be a year or two process for him, and I don't think it'll be driven by Mike Vick.

One thing of note, though, Kelly and Belichik have spent time in recent offseasons, comparing notes. NE does a pretty good job of borrowing the elements they think will work in this league. That's a pretty good blueprint to start from.

Great news. As long as Vick is the 1 qb of the Eagles, they'll continue to struggle. He's a turnover machine and can't stay healthy.

They signed a QB to another deal who is 10-13 as a starter in the past 2 seasons

How have they always been dangerous on offense when they started 3-4 the past 2 seasons?

That's the thing. In Oregon, he didn't have kids that were so much more athletic than the other Pac-12 teams. He had a lot of speed there but it was mainly due to that system they ran so perfectly to why they looked so much better. Those players were not big time recruits like the other big schools get. They just know what guys they need for it to work and they go get them and they know how to coach them up. They didn't worry about what star recruit they were rated.

Yes, it will be harder to translate this to the NFL because the talent pool to pick from in the draft is much smaller in terms of number of players to choose from and you only get 7 or so a year, not how ever many you are able to recruit in college, which is tons more than 7.
