Will be interesting to see if the Bears are decent or if the Cowboys are just not very good. The Bears squeaked by the Lions last week at home........ that told us nothing. The Cowboys are 0-2..... so we may still not know much about the Bears.

No. He made a commitment to Kolb and told Vick his role would be as backup to Kolb as early as April this year.
But that was before Vick threw for 459 yards and rushed for 140 with 3 TDs and a 105 passer rating in a game ana half.
When you have an in-his-prime QB who has shown that sort of skill it's very questionable to not have him on the field pretty much every snap.
hey I agree with you, but you can't fault Reid to take away Kolb's job after only a quarter and a half. Vick made some great plays yesterday being uder pressure the entire game. I myself cannot see how Kevin Kolb can survive behind that Eagles Offensive Line.
Vick was supposedly an absolutely execrable QB by the best metrics in his time in Atlanta. So either time away from football somehow did him an awful lot of good, or he is an excellent fit for the Philadelphia offense, or his luck is due to run out as soon as teams prepare for him.
