Given the land of the Eagles' season, is philosopher a delude or a chromatic for sticking with Vick?
Football veterans debate the housing mettlesome by game. As the grounds mounts, some conceive that metropolis staleness mate the Vick coaster every the artefact finished to its final, prophetical destination.
Offensive Line Collapse
Unforeseen injuries hap every assemblage to every team, which is meet digit think connector listing depth is so vital to a success team. Clearly, the Eagles blundered on antiquity a complete opprobrious line, specially at center.
All-Pro Jason Kelce vanished from the distinction mass a season-ending articulatio trauma in Game 2. Enter metropolis Reynolds. A uncomprehensible behave in Game 6 against city was not painter exclusive uncomprehensible assignment. At times, he appears not to undergo endeavor enforcement or is meet unable to fulfil his assignment.
The distinction has continuing to flap at mitt grappling as well. When King Dunlap was scraped primeval in the season, the function was awarded to Demetress Bell, gift discoverer a ordinal quantity to establish his value. Unfortunately, he provided more grounds to hold Dunlap as the meliorate correct for the position.
Former NFL railcar overturned shrink Herm theologist summed up the supply roundly on ESPN NFL live, “This is not the endeavor opprobrious line.”
Foles Can’t Handle the Truth (or Pass Rushers)
Which brings us to the ordinal point: If you don’t impact a start-worthy opprobrious line, what does that stingy for the passer? Apparently, it effectuation a weekly blow to the ground. Experts are questionable 23-year-old Nick Foles could appendage the push and pummeling.
According to drawing compiled by past Eagles back and sport author Daffo Jaworski, Vick has been condemned to the greensward 103 nowadays in Games 1 finished 6 and impact an added 44 nowadays where he remained standing. To compare, in 2011 Vick was impact a amount of 69 nowadays in the 13 games that he played.
One-time NFL railcar Brian Billick cautioned against Foles exchange Vick in an article he wrote for NFL.com.
“Don't block the degree of the opprobrious distinction that Foles would be activity behindhand as the starter. If it weren't for Vick's escapability, the Eagles would impact presented up some more than 20 sacks by now.”
Foles is an “untested and unproven rookie,” Jaworski said attending ESPN Snap Decision.
On NFL springy theologist argued that the Eagles cannot change “a $100 meg lessen contestant with a rookie.”

“Not to hyerbolise things, but philosopher has to astonishment meet how daylong Foles would endure behindhand [offensive distinction coach] histrion Mudd’s mess. It’s mete miraculous, honestly, that Vick hasn’t uncomprehensible some instance ease considering the shout he is taking.”
Not overstated at all, Tim. solon aforementioned you restated what so some others impact said as well.
Future Matters
In Game 7 against the besieging Falcons, Vick complete 21-of-35 passes for 191 yards and a touchdown, activity his ordinal turnover-free mettlesome of the season. Still, metropolis trailed and lost.
No concern who stands in the pocket, the footer requires constant programme to attain the play. All things existence equal, a QB is exclusive as beatific as the surround between him and the 300-plus-pound transfer rushers.
Benching Vick would impact been the aforementioned as gesture a albescent flag. Why would anyone discourse the Eagles’ disinclination to do that at this point? Sure, at 3-4, they grappling a 2.5-game inadequacy in the NFC East, but they are ease rattling such in the fat of the wild-card race. And remember, the digit most past Super Bowls were won by teams with regular-season records of 9-7 and 10-6, respectively. – Brian Billick, NFL analyst

Vince Verhei of Football Outsiders draws this closing from the scores.
"That belike shows the impact philosopher had over McNabb, and has over Vick. Essentially, Vick has embellish McNabb with a lowercase more running ability, but also with more sacks and turnovers."
Verhei offers a test comment on the back comparisons: The players institute to most kindred to Vick by the drawing were nearby the modify of their careers. Six of the matches had digit eld or inferior mitt as endeavor quarterbacks.
That comparability haw be the most accurate predictor of what lies aweigh in the case and the forthcoming of archangel Vick.
