The Eagles destroyed the Jaquars 28 to 3, Sunday, and Vick threw three touchdown passes.
Michael Vick was 17 of 31 for 291 yards passing and just 30 yards rushing on four carries.
The win marks the emergence of the new Michael Vick. A Vick that stands in the pocket, goes through his progressions, and makes a great throw. A Vick that can run if he wants to, but knows how to read defenses well enough such that he doesn't need to. A mature Michael Vick.
Eagles fans are amazed. Even if some of the forum comments are a bit harsh:
Michael Vick is subhuman scum BUT he is one hell of a QB and I'm happy we have him. I wish him misfortune in his personal life and success on the field as long as it is for us.And this commenter made a good point about the leaky Jacksonville Defense:
I'm just happy we don't have to suffer through McThreeandout anymore.
Vick had another awesome game...but lets not lose our heads. "stout"?
going into the game today....
Lions Defense T- 27th in pts/gm…27pts; Jags Defense 29th in pts/gm…27.5pts
Lions D 30th in yds/gm…300yds; Jags 29th in yds/Gm…305yds
you essentially played the same defense again
So some Eagles fans aren't happy unless and until Vick wins against a powerful defense. Some people are hard to please.
The emergence of Michael Vick has been surprising. In his prime with the Atlanta Falcons he was always a tremendous runner, but now he is staying in the pocket and making good reads and accurate throws.
