Michael Vick Joins The Eagles

With the news that Michael Vick has signed a two year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles there is a lot of questions still left to be answered. How effective will he be after two years away from football? What will this do to the chemistry of the locker room and distractions from the media? How will the team utilize him on a team that already has explosive offensive weapons and why would they want to take Donovan McNabb off the field even for a few plays each game?

Looking at the move in terms of Madden 10, this could be one of the few destinations where Vick doesn’t really make the team all that much better in the game. Vick is expected to come in with an overall rating in the low 70s and suspect accuracy ratings, though I think that is too high given the uncertainty surrounding him. As I’ve found from using Pat White having poor accuracy totally changes the way a QB can be utilized. On pass plays there wouldn’t be much reason to put him in over a much more effective McNabb.

With so many other explosive weapons in Brian Westbrook, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin again there doesn’t seem to be much need to put Vick on the field. Jackson specifically works well in the Wildcat already, though the idea would be Vick would have better passer ratings which could present more of a threat. I’m not sure why they would want another media circus after ridding themselves of T.O. but they’ve decided to take that on again.

What do you think of the Vick signing not only for the upcoming NFL season but also what it could mean for Madden 10? He is confirmed to be added into Madden with a roster update coming on Wednesday August 19th. Leave your thoughts in the comments!

    we re gonna be fine…im excited just watch

    Even though he should rot.I think that the Eagles have made a great move.McNabb always goes through a rut and Vick will pick him up.The wildcat will be amazing.This may keep the Eagles in contention even if McNabb is injured..

  • SwagStar

    This is a great team for him to be on Madden wise.You can run the wildcat and have Vick,Jackson,Maclin and Westbrook on the field all at the same time.And then when you need to pass you got Mcnabb.

    And you got a solid D I have a feeling the Eagles will be gettin alot of run this year when that roster update comes.

    pasta or anybody who has the game, sorry but totally unrelated question, if you turn off the fight for the fumble mini game does the pile-up cutscene still show or is it just the animation then the playcall screen?

    You guys are such fucking tools it's laughable.

    Michael Vick sucks so much ass as an NFL QB. He always has, and always will. He has a career passer rating in the 70's for Christ sake! He has NEVER thrown for more than 3000 yards.

    You kids think that just because he was a God in Madden that that makes him a good real life player. You're dead wrong.

    He is the most overrated player in the history of the NFL

    • josh

      dude, he is on a team and you cant do shit about it.

    Wow!! That is huge news for Eagles' fans.

    I have had Madden 10 for about two hours and am enjoying the sheeeit out of it. I am still mind-boggled as to why EA cannot include more uniform options, especially with the throwbacks. I am disappointed in the lack of away classic jerseys. I am also disappointed to see that they chose Seattle's original jerseys instead of the jerseys worn in the mid-80's and no road uniform option.

    Small gripes, yes but how about a little flavor….

    hey pasta do you know if anything has been done to adress DC'ers and stuff? normally on my EA games when people quit on me it doesn't go as my win, Fight Night Round 4 and Fifa 09 are the games it happens on, so frustrating when you think you have played a game against someone who doesnt glitch (FNR4 Body Spammers) only to get quitted on and NOT get the win. if it isnt addressed i don't think i'm going to play online, makes me fall out of love with the game.

    Im shocked by this signing. Bet no one saw this comming. I wouldnt be suprised if they signed him to keep him away from the likes of division rivals Redskins and Cowboys. I think they will try to use Vick at wide out more than wild cat.
