Filed under: Eagles, NFL Quarterbacks, NFL AnalysisEverybody in the NFL tells us all not to overreact to one game, and then the Philadelphia Eagles go and make Michael Vick their starting quarterback because of one game and you start to think the people running these teams are as crazy as the fans are.
The Eagles are nuts. And possibly stupid. And definitely schizophrenic. If you're an Eagles fan after Tuesday, you no longer have any reason to believe that Andy Reid or anybody else who's running your team (a) has any real vision for the future of the franchise, (b) has any courage of his conviction or (c) is ever telling the truth when they speak.
The decision to replace Kevin Kolb with Vick because Kolb looked bad and got a concussion in the first half of the opener and Vick lit it up against a putrid Lions pass defense in Week 2 is the worst kind of knee-jerk reaction. The Eagles made a rational, sober plan in March when they decided to trade Donovan McNabb and turn the team over to Kolb. Whether you agreed with it or not, this was a considered decision, made in the calm of the offseason. And they just overturned it in Week 3 because Vick looks good? Why even make an offseason plan if this is all it's worth?
