Vick move a mistake by Eagles

Andy Reid's decision to go with Michael Vick as starting quarterback is stunning.
It's also a mistake and out of character for an organization that usually nfl jerseys
doesn't make reactionary moves.
The Eagles' plan was to develop Kevin Kolb as Donovan McNabb's replacement and have Vick available as a backup and to run Wildcat plays. Unless Reid feels as though Kolb has serious concussion issues, the decision to make him the backup is further proof the Eagles should have waited a year to make a quarterback transition.
The Vick comeback is one of the best stories in football this season. But Reid and the Eagles decided to trade McNabb to Washington because they thought Kolb was the perfect rhythm quarterback to work out of three- and five-step drops in a West Coast attack. Vick isn't a rhythm quarterback. He's a wildcard who is at his best when he's scrambling and making plays.
The move sends mixed signals to the locker room. Vick is popular with teammates and players respect him. But where does this leave Kolb, who is effectively benched after playing less than one game this season? Kolb sat out Week 2 because of a concussion but was cleared to practice this week.
It's critical for the Eagles to roll off a winning streak in their next five games Dallas Cowboys jersey
against the Jaguars, Redskins, 49ers, Falcons and Titans because their second-half schedule is brutal. In the final nine games, the Eagles face the Colts, Redskins, Giants, Bears, Texans, Cowboys, Giants, Vikings and Cowboys. If Vick doesn't win, it's going to be tough to go back to a cold Kolb.
In Philadelphia, the quarterback controversy will be the hot topic all season. I contend this was a controversy that wasn't needed. They should have kept McNabb for 2010.
The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that Michael Vick is the club's starting quarterback a day after coach Andy Reid said the exact opposite. Reid will hold a news conference to discuss his flip-flop decision at 6:30 ET.
It's a stunning turn of events for an organization that decided to trade star quarterback Donovan McNabb to a division rival largely because of its faith in Kevin Kolb. Now they've given Kolb a contract extension and they have Vick in the final year of his contract.
I understand the argument that Vick gives the team the best chance to win in the Chargers jersey
short term, but think about what Reid's doing to Kolb. He'll probably say all the right things, but this has to be extremely frustrating for him. It looks like the Kolb era lasted two quarters.
I think Reid probably came to this decision because he doesn't trust that Kolb can function behind this offensive line. Or maybe he just doesn't have any faith in Kolb. I'm sure much of the fan base will applaud this decision, but I think Reid will end up with egg on his face.
I'll have much, much more after the news conference.
