Michael Vick named NFC Offensive Player of the Month

[Hotlantan]

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick earned honors as the NFC's Offensive Player of the Month for September.

Vick replaced an injured Kevin Kolb just before halftime in Week 1 and responded with one of the hottest months of any player in the league.
He completed 61% of his passes (54-for-89) for 750 yards and six TDs with no interceptions. Vick also added 170 yards rushing and a running touchdown.

He has helped the Eagles to a 2-1 record, and they have outscored their opponents 80-49 since he was inserted into the lineup.

"I just keep my eyes on the prize and just to where I'm going and where I'm trying to get to," Vick said Wednesday. "That's the most important thing. The past is the past, and you've just got to look forward to the future."

The Player of the Month honor comes as the Eagles prepared to welcome former QB Donovan McNabb to Philadelphia on Sunday. Vick said Wednesday he hopes fans in Philadelphia will give McNabb a standing ovation when he returns with the Washington Redskins.

Eagles rookie safety Nate Allen also was honored as the league's Rookie of the Month. Allen was drafted 37th overall with a pick the Eagles acquired from the Redskins in exchange for McNabb.

Allen said he doesn't dwell on the McNabb connection.

"I try not to worry about it too much. I could see if I was a quarterback or something like that," he said.

But, he added, "I know I' m going to keep hearing it."

I hate that nigga plays for the Eagulz. Cowboys would've had this division wrapped up had they went with Kolb like they wanted too. Now Vick has the Eagulz playing some of the best football in the NFC.

my god ive never seen so much dick riding on one athlete (neigh tebow) in my life in the capacityu that they've really heaped praise on mike vick in only 3 games. i think the media motive is to build michael vick up so high that when he falls he falls hard. ie they're buliding him up so that he falls hard. this is ridiculous... dont get me wrong i like vick but the media is scheming.

Can he fall any harder than he already did?

 

[egatsby]

which one of u hating ass niggas 1 starred this thread

 

[1dcsailor]

That's what's up...he definitely deserved it.

michael vick is 30, so in theory he can go until he is about 40. michael vick stated he wanted to be a starter somewhere, but if he doesnt live up the rediciuous lofty expeciations of the media in philly, he will forever remain a back up, ie a footnote. id be much better if michael vick proved himself but without all the media fanfare...

so what im saying is yes he fell, but the media is trying to make him fall and not get up by building him up like he is a superman then waiting for him to have a bad game then say: "michael vick isnt who we thought he was, get him out of the league". that is sneaky and insideous to michael vick.

Thanks for clarifying.

Blunt?

 

[easy_b]

this is great news

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Good for him

Too bad he plays for the hoe ass Eagles

 

[Nobody]

Not only is he playing well, he's matured so much. Just look at what he's been saying in the media, and it doesn't come across as scripted.

To lose as much as he has, his money, fame and freedom, he's genuinely thankful that he has gotten a second opportunity and is succeeding way above expectations.

I hope he continues to do well.

 

[Damn Right]

dude deserves all those props. just got out of jail a short while ago and now a starting qb in the nfl that gets the nfc offensive player of the month. hard work and dedication can NOT be understated

 

[Mask]

glad for him, just hopes he satys humble and work to get better, also the folks that were responsible for him being a eagle, thanks for giving kinfolk another chance(the owner, Andy, McNabb etc...)

 

[Les W]

hope he doesn't get out of pocket ....

When the season is said and done cac's gonna have to eat shit..

I need to look for that thread from week 1 when Kolb got the concussion so I can @ the lame and put him on blast for running in there on some "I can't wait for vick to get in and start so ya'll can see how terrible he is at quarterback" or whatever bullshit he said

 

[LADYTEE]

Blunt?

You ain't never lied. I was having a conversation about Vick today. The league is more exciting with him in it. His jersey is selling like hotcakes and Nike and other company's are going to be on his tip again. Hopefully, he will stay injury free and keep playing well. I am really glad for him.
