Albie, I hate to break it to you, but everyone predicted that Vick would lose his job.They also predicted Nick Foles would eventually beat out Michael Vick, something which was not seen as likely by mostScouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

That's a lie and you know it. Foles was a Reid draft pick who was deemed too slow to fit in Kelly's offense. Kelly even drafted a QB of his own in Matt Barkley. Vick beat out Foles in the preseason competition and was named the starter.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

More revisionist history by Ben:
Kelly's decision wasn't a shock to anyone who has watched the Eagles' quarterback competition all summer. Vick has run Kelly's go-go offense with great efficiency, completing 13 of 15 passes (86.7 percent) for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception -- which came on a Hail Mary at the end of a half.
The guy is Vick. The reason is simple: The Eagles are Vick's team. It is obvious. It might have taken Kelly several months to figure that out, but it is an inescapable truth. The players wanted Vick to be the starter. They like Foles, sure, but many look up to and admire Vick. Some idolize him. They all remember the Michael Vick experience. They remember how he ran as a rookie for Atlanta. They've all seen the good, and they believe in him.
After deciding to bring Vick back for another season, this is the only decision Kelly could have made. Vick deserves to be the starter based on his play in two preseason games. He was accurate, smart, efficient and careful with the football. He moved the chains. He didn't turn the ball over, save for an interception on a Hail Mary pass to end the first half against Carolina.
Here's a helpful ESPN poll, demonstrating popular sentiment as of August 20:
The Eagles have named Michael Vick their starting QB. Barring injury, will he be the Eagles' QB for the whole season?
70% Yes; 30% No
51,755 votes
Will Nick Foles ever be a regular starter in the NFL?
43% Yes; 57% No

also, you are wrong about the odds too
Here are the best odds to win the Super Bowl, as set by the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino sports book, which pretty much sets the odds for all of Vegas:
Broncos …. 5-1
49ers …… 6-1
Seahawks … 7-1
Patriots … 8-1
PACKERS …. 8-1
TEXANS …. 14-1
FALCONS … 18-1
SAINTS …. 18-1
STEELERS .. 20-1
GIANTS …. 20-1
REDSKINS .. 20-1
BENGALS … 25-1
RAVENS …. 30-1
BEARS ….. 30-1To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Are you Ben? 49ers were the NFC favorites. Your list says it.Originally posted by Sava View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Nit-picking aside, ESPN chose the #1 and #3 teams.
My original statement stands.
Now if they chose the Saints and they won? Maybe your "thought" on ESPN would be at all noteworthy.
It's not.

How so?
The Seahawks were heavily favored at the beginning of the season. They were 7-1 instead of 6-1. And you were the one who brought up Vegas odds, not me.
Now how does that make what you said not stupid?
So you are on record saying something stupid... and also incorrect. You said 49ers were the favorite by "Vegas"... which has been proven false.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Crap. You did say NFC. But nevertheless, the original point still stands. Choosing the #1 and #3 teams to meet is not magic.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment
