Philadelphia is a city that prides itself on toughness. We love tough athletes in Philly and despise pretty boys and softies. There is no tougher athlete in Philly right now than Michael Vick. Vick is playing behind the weakest NFL offensive line in history. Vick is under attack from the moment the ball is snapped. When the snap is from the shotgun, the defenders are in the backfield waiting for Vick when he drops back.
"
Vick should stay in the pocket," is the refrain from hosts at 97.5 The Fanatic in Philly. WHAT POCKET? THERE IS NO POCKET?? VICK IS RUNNING FOR HIS VERY LIFE FROM THE MOMENT THE BALL IS SNAPPED!!
One 97.5 host expressed "concern" because Vick gets "hurt so much." IT IS A MIRACLE THAT VICK LASTED AS LONG AS HE DID BEHIND THE EAGLES SISSIFIED O-LINE !
If Vick were white he would be a hero in Philly because of his toughness!
Philadelphia Eagles fans and media are making excuse after excuse for the inept, incompetent play of Nick Foles.
Nick Foles greatest attribute, as far as racist Eagles fans and racist Philadelphia media is that he is not Black like Michael Vick! Foles fumbled and bumbled his way through 6 quarters of NFL football. Yet, racist Eagles fans and media still consider him to be better than Michael Vick.
When Vick runs it is said, "Vick holds on to the ball too long!" When Foles runs the media says, Foles is "extending the play." A Michael Vick interception is condemned throughout the city. Foles interceptions are "not his fault.
Foles should be the quarterback because "He is the future of the Eagles and Vick is not." Why is Foles the future and not Vick? Doesn't the best quarterback get the job? If the Eagles cannot get a better quarterback than Vick, then why should the Fools, I mean Foles get the job? There is absolutely nothing about Nick Foles that indicates he will be a good NFL quarterback. Can you say, "career backup quarterback?"
