Report: Vince Young wants to play in Philly

The Eagles need a backup quarterback. Quarterback Vince Young needs a job.
Sometimes, it’s just that simple.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Young is interested in joining the Eagles. Some around the league believe that the Eagles are the favorite to land Young.
And just like Mike Vick expressed a willingness to welcome Brett Favre is a backup, Vick has no qualms about Vince Young joining the team. “It would be good for Vince,” Vick said, via PhillySportsDaily.com. “I don’t know how true it is, but I think it would be a great opportunity for Vince to come in and learn. We’ll see.”
Young has no experience in the West Coast offense. But we’ve got a feeling based on what Reid has done with every quarterback he’s every coached that he could get the most out of Young.
Which could be downright scary for every team the Eagles play.
