Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick never lacks for confidence. When you’ve seen what he’s been through, resolve and confidence are at the top of the character trait.
The Eagles as a team are already on notice. For a brief description, they don’t get it done and everyone from the head coach on down could be done. Vick himself is also on notice, because if his coach goes, he goes and that huge contract do, too.
Philly.com is reporting that Vick is confident and not worried about losing his job, because he intends to produce.
“It was never a time when I didn’t know whether I was going to be the starter or not,” Vick said. “Quite frankly, I know what I can do when I’m out there, and I know what has to happen when I’m out there on the football field. That’s just my approach now, to go out there and get the job done. We’ll see what happens.”
Vick was candid about taking the bye week to “get away from everything,” and without divulging any details, admitted he and Reid had a conversation, ”about his feelings and his thoughts and my feelings and my thoughts about certain things.”
Vick acknowledges that he doesn’t like being constantly criticized, and admitted it ticks him off.
“I always play [ticked] off,” Vick said. “More so now than anything.”
I wouldn’t necessarily say Vick is playing for his life right now, but I do feel he’s playing for his relevancy as a top-flight quarterback. I really can’t see Vick failing this season, moving on to another franchise and starting there or not and still being taken seriously as a top-flight quarterback.

Of course he's not, if he gets benched he can take a break from getting his butt kicked week after week. With that sorry ass O Line blocking for him he must feel like a freakin' punching bag.

Vick says playing Falcons 'just another game'
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Its been six years since Michael Vick last suited up for the Atlanta Falcons and so now, as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, the main plot of the teams meeting on Sunday is the plight of the 3-3 Eagles and the imperiled future of their turnover-prone quarterback.
With the NFC foes meeting on what seems an almost annual basis, Vick has played twice in Atlanta...
Michael Vick 2013: A Different Shade Of Green
Michael Vick has certainly had an unexpected season so far. Everyone thought the only way Vick wouldn't perform is by way of injury. So far, six weeks in, Vick is as healthy as ever, and not exactly putting up MVP numbers. Less than halfway into the season, and Vick has already recorded 13 turnovers.If Andy Reid still has a job in 2013, surely he will get rid of an aging underperforming...

IRONIC ending to Vick’s career? Eagles/Falcons
Coming out of the bye-week the Eagles under Andy Reid have yet to lose a game. This week, the task of keeping that record in tact might be the most difficult of the Andy Reid era. The 6-0 Atlanta Falcons possibly the best team in football are in town, led by Matt Ryan and BIG receivers. Roddy White, Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez, containing...
Should Michael Vick fake an injury to help Eagles, Andy Reid?
Without a doubt the Philadelphia Eagles are the most desperate 3-3 team the NFL has seen in recent memory. From QB turnovers to coaching turmoil, this Eagles team seems to be one bad outing away from a serious shakeup that could include the firing of head coach Andy Reid and or benching of quarterback Michael Vick. It’s a volatile situation that has clearly fallen on the...
Falcons say it's no big deal to face Michael Vick
Michael Vick will always be a part of the Atlanta Falcons.
They were the team that drafted him No. 1 overall. They were the team he made hip and relevant in the NFL. They were the team he left in disarray with his hideous hobby.
But it's no longer a big deal to face their former quarterback.
The Falcons have moved on.
''There's probably only a handful of guys...
Can People Please Ease Off of Michael Vick??
Throughout the past week, we've been hearing about how the Philadelphia Eagles are in disarray and it's time to make wholesale changes to this franchise. It was really funny hear how everyone wants quarterback Michael Vick to go to the bench and give rookie Nick Foles a chance to see what he can do. Before I come to Vick's defense, I feel it's important to look at...
Peeking Across Enemy Lines: The Iggles
After a week off to get ready and fix some shortcomings from the past few weeks, the undefeated Atlanta Falcons continue on their quest to the play-offs with a game against the Philadelphia Eagles and our old QB, Michael Vick.

Eagles Not Good Enough to Walk the Talk
Andy Reid and Michael Vick need to produce
With the Eagles having their bye week last Sunday and sitting with record of 3-3, we weren’t subjected to another 4th quarter collapse or any post-game news conferences having to explain what went wrong. We tune in hoping to hear the participants confirm what we just witnessed on the field. The problem with that is, when listening to...
Eagles must do better job of play calling and game planning offense
Firing a defensive coordinator six games into the NFL season is a big statement. Nonetheless, for a lot of Philadelphia Eagles fans, it wasn’t big enough. Many of the things that led the Eagles to a disappointing 3-3 start are still in place. Only Juan Castillo and offensive tackle Demetress Bell are not in their same positions.
With that being the case, is it really fair to expect...
No Changes At QB, O-Line For Eagles After Bye Week
The Eagles reconvened from their bye week Monday, and though practice was closed, indications are nothing changed on the team's offensive line, which is a mild surprise, in the wake of a dreadful performance against the Lions in the last outing.
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who remains the starter despite 13 turnovers in six games, said he never thought he might be replaced...
Shifts along the o-line for the Philadelphia Eagles with King Dunlap back at starting LT
Since the firing of former Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo last week, we’ve been waiting for the corresponding shoe to drop on offense.
After head coach Andy Reid’s pronouncement that Mike Vick would remain his starting quarterback and that Marty Morhinweg would continue to call plays on offense, we knew that no sizable change were coming on that side...
