Why? Vick can't even play until the end of October. He's a non-factor on day one.

Of course, that being said, I am certain that Vick is only here for trade leverage. McNabb will be QB, as the organization is paying a fortune for him, and we are strong, for once, at the WR position. I really don't think that Vick's going to have much to do in Philly. He'll probably end up filling a specialist role, a la Brian Mitchell a few years back. Expect him to be traded next year, and probably for either some A-list new players or some of the draft selections that the Eagles sorely need.

Really, the story is that Joe Banner picked up a top-flight QB on the cheap.
