Michael Vick Joins Eagles

Third string quarterback or some kind of slash running back?

Donovan McNabb is still the starting quarterback for at least two more years. Backup Kevin Kolb was injured this week, but is expected to recover. So Vick may be a third-string quarterback - though he did not return to football to sit on the bench.

The most logical place for Michael Vick's Eagles tenure to work may not be at quarterback. Running back Brian Westbrook is still very fragile, and no one knows how he'll hold up when he returns for the regular season opener.

If the Eagles can move Vick into the running back position, he could complement Westbrook and give McNabb another weapon. The Eagles are notoriously reluctant to run the football, but if Vick is in the running game to balance out Westbrook, it may take some of the burden off Westbrook's legs and McNabb's arm.

He just gave a standard contrite press conference, one chance at a second chance etc.

There's a high potential for quarterback controversy, given that Vick is (as readers informed me) a coach-killing prima donna and whiner, and Donovan McNabb is obviously in the autumn of his career and falls frequently into funks of ineffectualness.

As a Giants fan, well, I'm pleased.
