Mike Vick Says What We Were All Thinking

On if he thinks he and Kevin Kolb can co-exist like they did this year in 2011: "Me and Kevin haven't spoken about it because of our relationship. When that time comes, we'll keep it real with one another. I think ultimately it comes down to what Kevin wants to do. If he's in Philadelphia and I'm in Philadelphia and we have to work together again, everything will be okay because we always try to help each other, compete and make each other better. So I think regardless of the fact if we're together, everything is going to be just fine, and we'll have another great season it and enjoy it. I think with Kevin being the competitor that he is, if he tries to go and find a job somewhere else, I think he'll be successful doing it. And I know he wants to play. So it's just up to Kevin and what he wants to do."
It's basically up to Kevin and how much he's willing to start elsewhere. Remember, dude was a second round pick and definitely didn't come into the league with any crazy hype. He's played well with the chances he's been given, but to change systems and expect him to immediately shine is setting pretty high expectations. He's probably not even 100% confident he would play well on another team.
Also of note were Vick's comments about whether or not he could be as successful elsewhere as he is in Philly, where he admitted that he "really [doesn't] think so" and that Fat Andy "just has a way of bringing out the best in me."
Jesus, just kiss already.
