PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The new Michael Vick makes big plays with his arm instead of his legs.
Vick’s evolution as quarterback is summed up perfectly by the way he operated a hurry-up offense in Philadelphia’s 28-3 win at Jacksonville on Sunday. He’s no longer a run-first guy who quickly takes off with the ball if his primary option is covered. Rather, he’s found success in the pocket.
Vick has an even bigger challenge coming up when the Eagles (2-1) host Washington (1-2) in Donovan McNabb’s return to Philadelphia.
But the way Vick is playing now, he might be a better fit for the Eagles than even McNabb, who led them to five NFC championship games in 11 seasons.
