OK so realizing that like half my posts thus far have been about Michael Vick, and that the first one was that I was tired of talking/hearing about him, and I continue to talk about him, I have a quick point on Mike Vick with regards to substituting him into the game. (It's a FOOTBALL thing at least)
To clarify the rule for one of my most devoted readers, (dad) if Vick was listed as the 3rd QB behind McNabb and Kolb/Feely, he would not be able to enter the game for a series, or a play or two without forcing the Eagles to keep him in the game until the 4th quarter. This is because of a little-known NFL rule which says that if the 3rd QB enters (3rd QB decided by what is turned in prior to the game by the team) then the starter and backup cannot return until the 4th quarter.
So if the Eagles intend to use Vick, which they obviously intend to do, then he will most likely have to be listed as a WR on the gameday roster.
