Is Andy Reid a Genius?

This pains me to say, but I have to admit that Andy Reid might just be a genius. I figured out why he signed Mike Vick, and it isn’t to groom a new starter. The coach has figured out Donovan McNabb. He started to figure him out a few years ago.
McNabb had been injured a lot for a couple years, so the Eagles drafted Kevin Kolb in the second round of the 2007 draft. Result? Donovan McNabb gets pissed off and has a good year. In 2008, Reid still hadn’t figured out the connection, but then after the team started faltering, he benched McNabb hoping to light a fire under him like the drafting of Kolb had done. Result? It worked and the Eagles went deep into the playoffs with a pissed off McNabb in the lead.
Reid thinks that this might be his last chance to take this team to the championship, so he’s going all in. He thinks McNabb is the guy to win the big game for them, but he has figured out that his QB needs MOTIVATION! Now, with his QB’s own blessing, Andy Reid has figured out how to keep McNabb motivated throughout the entire season! He now has a (some say) top-shelf quarterback nipping at his heels at every step, every bad pass, every sack, every interception. And just to up the ante a little more, Reid is driving the point home by inserting Vick into the game to “interrupt” McNabb’s flow. Donovan McNabb is surely feeling the pressure like he has never felt it before. Result? We’ll have to wait and see….
