This is a home run for the eagles. You have a back up quarterback that could start for a number of teams in the league. Not only that, unlike most backups, he won't just hold a clipboard. You can actually devise ways to use him in specialty situations and not just the wildcat. Remember the way the steelers used kordell? Vick throws and runs better than kordell and I remember slash being highly effective.
For 1.6 million and an option at 5.2 million? There will be a number of teams that will be sorry they didnt take the chance.

This just pretty much says that Kolb doesn't look like he is ready yet, and of course injury doesn't help. Trust in Feeley is very low.
Its just a one year deal, unless something majorly bad happens to McNabb. No way the Eagles will pay Vick's Option in any other case.
I think its more Andy Reid championing for Vick, and handling him in the same matter of him handling his family when the boys were in trouble.
