Vick deserves some credit
It may be time to remove Michael Vick from the Corner Wall of Shame. That is that infamous place where some of those who have given the world of sports a blackeye are remembered.
It is time to forget the poor animals who suffered at his hands. It is time for PETA and the rest of us to forgive him and appreciate the talent he maintained when he left prison last year.
Vick may not like the way things have evolved in Philadelphia, but the Eagles have done him a favor. He has finally evolved into the position he should have been in the first place which may make him a better player in the long run.
Michael Vick has been a quality quarterback since being the keystone of Beamer Ball at Virginia Tech. He can throw the ball and run an offense but the Eagles have recognized he is much more than that. He is one of the rare ones who can help teams win games in more than one way. Whether he likes it or not, he is not the best for a team when he is only a quarterback.
He is part of what is called the Wildcat formation. There is a touch of irony in a convicted dog fighter being part of a wildcat offense but it is working out well. If Vick wants to continue his success he needs to accept he is not an NFL quarterback, he is much more.

Tony Dungy and Andy Reid provided an opportunity for Vick to help himself and the Eagles. Hopefully (after winning the Super Bowl!), the Eagles can trade him to a team that will play him more next year for some nice draft picks so both Vick and the Eagles benefit next season too. Looks like a move to give him a second chance will also turn into a good busines move. Go Eagles!
