I'm Surprised, Vick Named Starter

Andy Reid just named Mike Vick the starter in Philly, I could have sworn Kolb would be back once healthy. What are your thoughts on Vick returning to the starting role?

Wish the Titans would have made a move on Vick. Philly looking really smart right now. Only 2 weeks in though.

Regarding the OP, Yes very surprised. Thought they would play Kolb. Wasn't he the entire reason Philly gave for trading McNabb?

Yeah Kolb was the reason they they traded him, still he played a struggling Green Bay team week one and the Detroit Lions week two. I'd still hold my breath on him.

I wouldn't say Green Bay is struggling, they just weren't prepared for Vick full throttle. He's definitely tough to gameplan for the week before, let alone midway through the first quarter.

I still have nightmares of Vick tearing up the Panthers back in the day.

On a side note, that's great news for my fantasy team.

Vick has been solid in the time he has had. He deserves it. He is a starter on lots of teams.

I thought it was officially announced yesterday Kolb would start? Oh well, despite my hate for Vick I'll give him credit for being a force this brief season.

Definitely surprised, but I am good with whoever gives us the best chance to win. Just looks like Vick at thus point, he has been great and has helped open things up for McCoy.

So..... do I start him over Favre?

I DONT KNOW!!!!

He was so good to me last week and Favre hasn't done anything. I think it's Vick again this week. I hadn't heard he was named the starter. Seems Reid is a little wishy washy. He must know he would start a riot in Philly putting Kolb back in.

Until Farve gets someone other than Shiancoe to throw to, I would start pretty much anyone over him fantasy wise. If Reid had stayed committed to starting Kolb over Vick, there would not be a riot of any sort in Philly. It is pretty much split 40/60 between the two giving an edge to Vick. I am glad they are going with Vick right now, but he will have to play consistantly for more than a couple of weeks to make me a believer that he should remain the starter. JMO

I've never been sold on Kolb. Vick has been impressive, but I thought they would at least let Kolb see a little more action before deciding for sure one way or the other.

Vick is a better athlete and QB than Kevin Kolb. I'm not surprised at all.

I'm not a big fan of someone losing their job b/c of an injury, but oh well. Reid should have just came out an said Vick was the guy out of camp.
