Anyone like him to breakout in the Chip Kelly Offense?

I don't know if he breaks out but he should be a good value pick.

He'll be good enough to start if you decide to go RB/WR heavy. Also, if you play team QB, Foles could possibly come in for some trick play packages so that makes it even more interesting.

He will be better than Kaep and Wilson

I'd much rather him at his adp than Kaepernick or rg3 at their spots. If he's there in 9th or 10th I will pprobably take him

Vick was good for 20+ PPG last year, and all indications are he will be better protected this year. He's started to rise on boards because of his preseason performances, but he still presents great value. As with any of the running qbs, back them up with someone like Palmer, and don't look back.

You would think he'd be perfect for this offense....

He and McCoy are going to light it up this year.

Y'all are starting to sway me on Vick.

I targeted him in both my money leagues, but someone got him before me in both, due to the preseason.

I know he's looking good, but I'm just worried about his durability. He's not the Atlanta Vick anymore. He's older, and although he still looks fast as shite, he's a lil fragile.

Who is his "move the chains" receiver? DeSean is ok, but he's another on my grudge list. (Ever since he celebrated early by flipping the ball before the goal line). Brent Celek is decent too.

I guess I'd take a chance on Vick in the latter rounds.

He put on a little weight in the offseason, the line looked much improved, and Chip is going to protect him with playcalling. But, like I said, just back him up with somebody like Palmer, and you should be fine.

I'm not buying the Cooper talk; Vick is looking at Jason Avant A LOT this preseason, and I think that carries over.

i feel the same way. when a new offense comes into the NFL it takes about a year or so for defensive coordinators to get aquainted with what that new style is. I think Vick will flourish big time in Chip Kellys new offense and take advantage of getting a play off 18 seconds after the one before it ended.

This. Vick, McCoy, and Desean are home run threats. What happens when their plays increase? More home runs.

exactly...

I saw a little taste of this in preseason. I'm guessing they were in a run package on 2nd down. On 3rd and 4 they took the TE's the had and split them out wide 1 on each side making it 1WR/1TE...1WR/1TE on each side...then ran a draw to mcCoy after the LB's went out to cover the TE's...He busted a nice 13 yard gain.

It's just too tough to stop. You can try and shuffle the "right" personnel on and off the field but the offense is to quick to do this....many times teams will get stuck in a defense they dont want to be in and the Eagles will burn them.

If VICK does FLOURISH..he's a top 5 QB this year.

Riley Cooper was Foles' favorite target. But if Vick starts it changes things. I just can't see myself having Jason Avant on my team. I'd go Jackson, Cooper, Avant. Only Jackson will be drafted.
