    I am not saying it has never happened before. I just refer to an old idiom in the NFL. That's why I said there is nothing wrong with it.

    Depends. Is Vick handling it well?

    He hasn't really been benched, he has been out due to injury. If Reid comes back and names Kolb starter over Vick, then ask me how he is handling it.

    Vick handled Kolb being named the starter after Vick played good in the Green Bay Game.

    He said he supported Reid's decision to go with Kolb.

    Once he was named starter he said he was shocked and called Kolb to see how he took the news.

    Maybe being Michael Vick's backup is not a bad career move.

    Look at the dude the Texans got.

    Why do you think he would handle it any less graciously? He is on thin ice for the rest of his career, is in the last year of his contract and knows the Eagles or several other teams out there could use his services and he is in position to make millions if he continues down this path.

    Every little thing he does and says is going to be overly magnified and looked at thoroughly as well. I remember shortly after he was signed by the Eagles that there was breaking news that Vick was spotted at an airport lounge enjoying an adult beverage. I mean come on!

    So I don't know why you would get this idea that he would handle it any differently than the way Kolb has.

    did anyone Michael Vick's show on BET?

    it seems like he's a much more humble guy now.

    Good show. There was supposed to be a 2nd season but he canceled it himself because he said "it's not him".

    Vick is a pretty shy guy from things I have heard about him so him doing that show was out of his character.

    I was just referring to that whole incident at halftime where no one knew where Vick was and why he wasn't on the field.

    Last week he was named the emergency quarterback, was given permission to show up late, showed up 45 minutes before game time and was told to stay in the locker room unless he was needed on the field. It's not like he was in the locker room pouting because he was benched.
