Philadelphia Eagles signed Michael Vick.

Is there a better mentor for him that Donovan McNabb and/or Andy Reid?

He has Tony Dungy as a mentor if that's what your asking.

I know this, but my point is, with that cast in place, can you think of a better situation for him to be in?  I am just saying, it seems like a good fit for him to get himself back on track.  

But, my favorite part of this.  How much of an idiot does JP Losman look like, when Vick can get a deal in the NFL, and he is playing in the UFL.  What is he looking to do, be the next Tommy Maddox?  I guess it worked out for him, but really?

I think it's gonna be a while before Vick gets any regular season time, but when he does, I have a feeling it's going to be only a few times a game as part of a Wildcat formation.

He can play in week 6. They say he's gonna be used a lot.

Could be before.  Goddell has not made it official yet.  Just said he would rule on full reinstatement by week 6.  But, he does usually take as much time as he can.  

He won't play a significant roll in Philly unless McNabb gets hurt.  I can't see him being there next year.  No way they pay him $5M+ to be a third stringer.  But it's a good opportunity to get himself back into playing shape, running an offense he already knows, and without the pressure of competing for a job.  But, if he plays well, there will certainly be teams taking a serious look at him next year.

Why does everyone vilify Michael Vick?  He got two years for fighting dogs--people have gotten less for DUI manslaughter.

If they think he's good enough for them, what's the problem?

You whine about vilifying Vick, but then you completely throw Stallworth under the bus.  Some idiot doesn't look when running out into a 4 lane highway, and he goes to jail for it?  What a bunch of shit.  They have video of the accident, and even with that, they could not say that there was any way for him to avoid the accident.  

Vick got screwed as well.  He was punished to a level no one else would have been, if not for who he was.  But, the difference is, his situation was completely his own fault.
