Awaiting Vick-tory

According to the AP, the Philadelphia Eagles have placed the ‘franchise tag,’ on the reigning “Come Back Player of the Year,” Mike Vick.  It is bit surprising, considering Vick for much of the year was an MVP candidate. He established a winning way in Philadelphia after the departure of their past great Donovan McNabb.  Replacing Kevin Kolb early in the season, Vick set a league record by not throwing an interception in his first nine starts. His 3,018 passing yards, in just twelve games on 62.6% accuracy, were a career best. Not to mention, his renewed attitude toward the media proves he’s trying. It would seem the perplexing move is a judgement call on the Eagles part. Yes Vick was impressive this year, but can the thirty one year old continue to build upon  the greatest year of his dramatic career? His final two games, both losses, including a drubbing to the Packers in the first round, saw the old Vick re-emerge turning the ball over four times.  The way he ended things has to make the Eagles worry about his consistency. As for us, we will have to wait and see if Vick can continue to overcome his odds.
