The Philadelphia Eagles have been extremely

Now that they have handed the reigns over to Kevin Kolb  to see if he can gel with DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek, and LeSean McCoy. It's an exciting time for the franchise because we can watch these youngsters grow together.

There is one big albatross which is hanging over this team like a foul-smelling odor and that's Michael Vick. News came out today that he's not allowed to leave the state of PA following the birthday party shooting in Virginia Beach. Probation officials are barring him from leaving the state. This is just the latest media fiasco for the Eagles involving Vick.

Let's not forget that he got a free pass from law enforcement officials who wouldn't charge anybody due to lack of cooperation. In other words, the victim or Vick's cronies aren't talking.  There is a theory out there that Marcus Vick was the shooter. Added to that, Vick's lawyer lied to the Eagles and the media when he originally stated that Vick left a half hour before the shooting. The video footage showed that he left a few minutes prior to the altercation.

Now that Vick potentially violated his parole, it could impede his ability to play on the road this season.  But, really do you want this guy on your team at this point? He is turning into a massive headache for the franchise.

And, argue all you want, but the "Wild Cat" was a joke last year. Rarely did the Wild Cat produce a big play during the regular season. For the majority of the time, the play would blow up and result in a two or three-yard gain. Ultimately, Vick had 24 rushing attempts for a measley 95 yards last season, good for 4.0 yards a carry. 34 of those yards came on one play, so if you take that away, he had 23 attempts for 61 yards, which amounts to less than 3 yards per attempt! In other words, he was pathetic. He had two rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown though, but clearly the Wild Cat was a bust. The numbers don't lie.

Michael Vick's one huge play came in a blowout loss to Dallas when he tossed a 76-yard TD to J Mac.

The Philadelphia Eagles finally made the long awaited break up with Donovan McNabb and now put the ball in the hands of Kevin Kolb. DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and Brent Celek are weapons indeed but their success relies on the effectiveness of a Quarterback that has never played even half of a full season. Kolb is a huge question mark and is a huge risk in terms of NFL Betting.
