I don't think it's likely - I don't even think they're even his most likely destination within that division - but Vick as a Pat makes some sense to me. Brady just spent an entire season recovering from an injury, and there's no guarantee he'll be the same Brady and/or not re-injure himself during the season... coupled with sending Cassel to KC. I think it's not impossible, but highly unlikely.
I still think it's most likely to be the Vikings. They both seem desperate for something to me. We know the Vikes have both space on the roster and desire to upgrade at QB, as seen in their failed pursuit of Favre.
And I gotta say it: it was fun to watch Favre's flip-flopping this time around when it not only didn't affect the Packers, but made things difficult on a division rival... it's the silver lining to that whole messy divorce, as far as I'm concerned.
I sure hope your wrong, Kdogg. And as much as I would like to sport a purple & gold Favre jersey around all my cheese-head in-laws, I'm glad that didn't happen as well. I think it would've been all about sticking it to the Pack, and let the rest of the season be damned.

Its not going to bethe Vikings. They just got done with the Favre saga and def. will not doin anything furthermore to dissrupt the lockeroom. They were trying to bring in Favre to win a Superbowl.
Vick will be a 15 snap a game player with the potential to make "the Big play". Also the team who signs vick will be either a team who desperately needs QB ( San Fran) or a team who has been successful in recent years and one that has a strong, loyal, fan base.....Pit, NE, or Baltimore

I thought through this whole thing that Vick would sign with a team that had a bad QB. If I were the Eagles I wouldn't want to take McNabb off the field for Vick. But if I'm St. Louis, my team, what the heck do I have to lose if I play Vick for 15 snaps. It won't get any worse than it was last year*

“PETA and millions of decent football fans around the world are disappointed that the Eagles decided to sign a guy who hung dogs from trees. He electrocuted them with jumper cables and held them under water,” PETA spokesman Dan Shannon told The Associated Press.

I don't want to come off as supporting anything that Vick has done, but at some point people need to let the man try to get his life back together. He's been publicly vilified, he served his time in prison and will serve his suspension from the NFL this season, and I'm confident he'll be contributing tons of money to animal related charities in the future. What more can you ask from him? I feel like some people wouldn't have been happy unless he received the death penalty.

I gotta admit, when I first read this news I was pretty shocked. They already have one of the best QBs and a reliable backup QBs in the league it seems. But the more I think about it I believe it's gonna be a pretty fun match for him. Donavon + Vick on the field at the same time would be awesome and have basically unlimited possibilities. Also, maybe Philly is just relying on McNabb to get injured again this year, and in turn will still have a QB that is capable of scrambling if necessary.
But an option play with McNabb and Vick seems almost unstoppable if Vick still has the same game he did in 2006, and that gets me a bit excited to watch the top 10 plays on ESPN after every Eagles game it seems
The Eagles did lose Buckhalter this year, our "next best" RB after Westbrook, so maybe their plan is for Vick to take his place. I agree that it will be interesting to see Vick and McNabb on the field together, I can't wait for this season to start for real.

What's the general consensus on the first impression of having Vick with the Eagles now in Philly? All the media articles I've read have just interviewed fans that seem disappointed and pissed about it, but I can't imagine that's actually the case in Philly... is it?

From a philly fan that moved away from philly, I am interested rather than excited to see what Vick can do for our team. He's good, he can run, move, cut, etc. We are a running team, so I'm hoping he can further that.

But they drafted LeSean McCoy in the second round, they didn't bring Vick in to play running back. All reports are now that he is just a backup QB, but I'd expect to see 5-10 snaps a game of Vick in the wildcat, most likely with McNabb still on the field. And if anything the Eagles are a heavy passing team, I generally hear their play-calling is split 60/40 to the pass, and last year McNabb was 4th in attempts per game.
My local bar happens to be the bar where I worked for some time. There are tons of eagles fans from atlanta there and they are not happy about vick. But they've been given enough shit, I mean it's not their fault that the eagles picked him.....and my (drunk) boyfriend decided to tell them all what bad people they are for liking the eagles...he's such a douche sometimes! It's not their fault...I don't think anybody really likes the guy, right? especially atlanta eagles fans!
I'm just wondering who the Eagles are gonna get rid of? You can only have 3 quarterbacks. McNabb, Vick, and who else? Are they gonna dump Feeley? That'd be really stupid cause he's a much better quaterback than Kolb at this point. How can they dump Kolb if they drafted him with the future in mind, plus he played well enough to rally the Eagles for the come from behind victory. Vick puts them in an interesting position, and one that I'm not really liking the more I think about it.

^i don't know what they're gonna do. they seem to be relatively high on kolb's upside. if it's my team i'm cutting aj feely in a heartbeat. if mcnabb goes down they are fucked. aj feely can not bring them to playoffs. i dont think kolb or vick could do it either. but the team's ceiling is much higher with vick and mcnabb on the same team. aj feely can be replaced. vick is a one of a kind talent...

i hear they are gonna trade/release QB a feely (possibly to NE since they have some extra TEs which we are in need of).
i also hear we are gonna trade/release WRs r brown and/or h baskett.
