Mike Vick apparently plans to earn every penny of his latest $100 million* contract.

Despite late-season evidence of regression and/or defenses figuring out Mike Vick 2.0 in 2010, Vick remains supremely confident in his abilities.

“I’ve been hearing that for years,” Vick recently told Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports. “You can’t design a defense to stop me, especially not on this team. We have so many weapons, and some teams have tried to make that their primary focus. That’s when we run up the score.”

Coach Andy Reid agrees, explaining that Vick has worked on his struggles last year against the blitz.

“Now he’s got it,” Reid said. “People can say there’s a way to stop Michael Vick, but this is a team sport. You’ve got this beautiful mind of [offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg's] and you’ve got to deal with what he’s gonna throw at you, and there are all these other players you have to defend. You can say you’re gonna stop Michael Vick, but you’ve got to stop the whole group.”

(Lions fans have passed out from laughter regarding the use of “beautiful mind” in reference to Mornhinweg.)

Of course, stopping the whole group becomes a little easier given the struggles of the five men responsible for opening holes and buying time for Vick. And so instead of talking big, Vick, Reid, and company would be better served finding a way to dial back those sky-high expectations while they focus on getting the job done, once and for all, in 2011.

gets better everyday, they keep this up and everyone will hate that organization the way we all do..

when all the dopes around the internet like florio start there nonsense it will be the end of reid in philly.

the only hurdle is that the guy is making espn money right now through praise....we have to wait out the period of them making money bagging on him and then he will be toast.

I am so rooting for vick to get arrested or keep it real somewhere and get suspended to watch all the backtracking.

Let them keep adding the sugar. It's just going to make the tea all the more sweeter to drink.

This is the one way they're comparable to the Heat. A ton of smack talk that's going to make it all the more disappointing when they fail to back it up.

Vick,

Jerkoff.

You can't play the Browns every week. Asshole.

Defenses don't need to stop you. Your sorry ass accuracy will do that for him, you overrated fuck.
