A REASON TO PLAY VICK
Sunday at Cleveland Browns Stadium, one quarterback threw a touchdown pass at the end of the first half and the game-winning touchdown with 1:18 left.
The other quarterback? He put up a 5.1 QB rating.
One was a veteran, four times in the Pro Bowl.
The other was a rookie.
So why is it again that Andy Reid should play Nick Foles, not Michael Vick, who led the Eagles to a 17-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns?
Not to say that Foles would be as bad as Browns rookie Brandon Weeden was Sunday. That takes a special level of ineptitude. But if that game didn't show why the Birds need Vick --- not why they need to replace him --- then nothing will.
And that was even as Vick was being intercepted four times.
Check out my column on the topic, along with a sidebar on Vick and complete Eagles coverage from Bob Grotz, with videos, in the Daily Times Monday and, as usual, on delcotimes.com.
