It is a harsh headline, right?  No.  Michael Vick needs to play more consistently if the Eagles are to have a chance of winning any games.  At times, Vick looks spectacular.  Other times, not so good.

Vick has been responsible for 10 turnovers (seven interceptions and three lost fumbles) in the first five games of the young season.  That is an incredible amount of turnovers that no one seems to be writing about.  Vick holds the ball like a loaf of bread.  It is a terrible habit that needs to be broken immediately.

Many of Vick’s interceptions are not his fault.  There have been some tip balls.  My problem is how Michael Vick is playing the position during the course of an entire game.  There are ebbs and flows; ups and downs.  This Eagles team cannot have that if they are to play winning football.

It is clear to me that Vick is not going through his progressions.  Granted, the protection is not the best, however, there are plays that he is missing.  Take for instance Brent Celek.  He has got to have more balls fired his direction.  The middle of the field is Mike’s weakness.

Vick is the leader of the team.  Andy has seemed to defer the Vick turnover question this long.  If it continues, Vick is going to start hearing it from the fans.  Remember, Vick has a $100 million deal.  Fans expect top five quarterback play for that type of money.
