The signing of Mike Vick

Ok, by now i think the entire world has heard of the Philadelphia Eagles signing Mike Vick last Thursday. However, I'm already sick of hearing how the birds are now a superbowl bound team because of him. Let's break this down:
1. He is a average passing quarterback. While he played he has thrown 71 td's and 52 interceptions.
2. He averages a horrible 155.5 yards per game.
3. He hasn't taken a snap since the 2006 and is NOT in football shape.
4. This is still Mcnabb's team . Vick will be used in certain situations, but won't be in every down on offense.

Also, the birds O-line is decimated with injuries right now. With all the changes this off season, they won't have that same chemistry they have had over the past few years. In last weeks pre-season game against the Pat's, the o-line did a better job run blocking than pass blocking. If you think about it, that doesn't sound good since Big "Fat" Red is a pass happy coach. Their wide-outs didn't do much to impress me, and Mcnabb still had plenty of moments of his old self from the NFC champ game.

In my humble opinion, I don't think this team is any better then last year. Hopefully they can prove me wrong.
