Mike Vick had a tremendous season and I'm sure will have another great one. But he is a year out of prison and still learning himself, he won't be a mentor to VY.

The move just doesn't fit, Oakland, Miami, San Fran, Washington all places that could have fit him better, and given him a legit chance to start.

OK...what teams out there that NEED a QB, would actually start VY?  Those teams probably have 1) no interest in the guy 2) same amount of offensive talent in Tennessee.  Why go somewhere that you'd be just as bad or worse off? 

If VY wants to prove that he can play, he put himself in a GREAT situation in Philly.  With the way Vick plays, there's always a chance that he'll miss some time due to injury.  In steps VY.  He's now surrounded by an offensively SICK Eagles squad.  They got talent at every skill position.  Young is now in a situation (where if he plays) there are NO excuses for him to be a %#$+ QB.  He's got so much talent around him....probably the most since he was at UT.  If he performs well, he can parlay that success into a BIG contract in 2012 with another squad where he would be the unquestioned starter.  THIS is why it's an ideal situation for Young.

We still have about 43 million left in cap room. I'm waiting for our blockbuster deal for a new long-snapper.

Koenen was elite in 2008. Falcons only allowed 49 PR yards for the whole season, an NFL record. Hasn't been able to duplicate that. Even if he could, that's silly money to give to a punter.

I think they will actually use vince in certain situations throughout the season. That and maybe put him in for Vick in less important games/possible blowout games. Having both actually prolong Vicks season and at the same time give Vince some burn and possibly a two-headed monster tandem. I think this might work. I mean ppl said the same thing about these eagles with vick having to back up behind mcnabb/kolb. only thing is you can actually utilize all these weapons because neither are hurt and potentially produce, similar to what they was expecting with a vick/mcnabb combo.
