Following up on a
previous item. ... Vick was asked about the fact that the Eagles apparently looked into the availability of Peyton Manning, before Manning signed with the Broncos. "I don't know how true it is, and I don't care," Vick said. "I feel no threat within my position. You can bring in the best QB around, and I'm going to play my best. I'm one of the best."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
HC Andy Reid's remarks this week at the NFL Meetings in Florida underscored how, regardless of what the team does this offseason, Reid and many others believe the key to success in 2012 will be a healthy Vick, who does not miss three games, and who does not try to do too much. But as the Sports Xchange notes, Vick needs to improve most when it counts the most. While he finished the 2011 season ranked 14th in passing, he was ineffective in critical situations, finishing 26th in third-down passing and 25th in fourth-quarter passing. Vick, who finished 23rd in interception percentage, threw just three fourth-quarter touchdown passes the entire season. He had more interceptions (six) than touchdown passes (five) on third down. Vick also had six turnovers in the red zone, including four interceptions. He finished with 14 interceptions overall. "I took responsibility for my turnovers and what I need to do, but it's everybody. It's football, man. we've got to be in the moment." Especially when the game is on the line.
