Michael Vick Decision Is Hard For Kevin Kolb But Maybe Best For The Eagles Super Bowl Chances

As you know, the Eagles named Michael Vick the starting quarterback moving forward.

From Kevin Kolb’s perspective, it’s clear that he wanted to start? Did he deserve to start? Yes, if you ask SB Nation’s Bleeding Green Nation. “Kevin Kolb was screwed here. Flat out screwed and there’s no denying it.”

BGN also recognizes that head coach Andy Reid has one goal: To win a Super Bowl. Perhaps this is the best move to get them in that position.

Andy Reid has one job and one job only, which is to do every thing in his power to win a Superbowl for this team and this city. If even for a second he thinks Michael Vick gives them a better shot to do that, he owes to himself and to us to explore that possibility. Now, he may very well be wrong... but that’s a separate issue. The fact that he made this move tells us that he thinks Vick give them their best shot to win, which means at least for him that it was a move he had no choice but to make.

It seems that many Eagles fans recognize that this isn’t very good for Kolb but ultimately it’s about winning. And if Vick gives them the best chance to win, so be it.

Check out what all the fired up Eagles fans are saying over at Bleeding Green Nation.
