Waste of time?

Is it just me, or is everyone annoyed when the Eagles send Michael Vick out for the wild cat just to hand the ball off? I understand it is only week 6, but come on. The Eagles coach, Andy Reid, knows that he has every viewer and opposing coach glued to the play when Vick enters the game. For us viewers, there is the anticipation factor of waiting to see which play will be “the one” that reminds us of the old Vick. For opposing coaches, before Vick takes the snap the question has to be raised, is this the play where we see Michael Vick, the playmaker?

Up until this point Vick has played the role of the decoy. The Eagles have been winning, so I guess you can’t argue with that, but to be honest, I could go out there and do what Vick does. If he isn’t handing the ball off, he’s running the option, and when that happens, its clear he has no intent on keeping the ball for the run. In Vick’s two games played, he has attempted five passes and completed one for one yard. He also has four rushes for 10 yards. Impressive is not the word that comes to mind when looking at those stats.

I understand it is still early in the season and there is really no reason for the Eagles to be revealing Vick’s true meaning to the team, but I ask Andy Reid to please stop playing with our emotions…
