08:06 AM ET 07.12 | Somewhat thankfully, the 2011 offseason circus has been replaced by relative serenity for the Eagles entering the 2012 season. Combine that with the notion that it is [Michael Vick's] first full offseason as the Eagles' starting quarterback, and the optimists in this town are dreaming big. "There is definitely a sense of urgency, but it should be that way," Vick said. ... While no player likes the grueling grind of camp, Vick confessed that this year he feels something a little different in the air. "Usually I don't want to go camp," he said. "That part I will admit. But this year, I feel like we're going to have fun with it. We're going to really enjoy it and make the most out of it. I'm excited."

Gotta admit that it makes me a bit more excited to see them. Last year, there was a lot of unnecessary pressure placed on the team due to mouths (i.e. VY's dream team statement). I'm hoping to see a bit more success this year with everyone having some time under their belts as a whole (including the OC).

Good Morning Boys, if this guy ever takes football seriously, he would be almost unstoppable, I'm a Giant fan and since he come to the Eagles I've got see him play a couple of times, he's exciting, has a strong arm and can run like a halfback!

What's the over-under on how many games Michael Vick misses due to injury? His "exciting" style is fun to watch, and has orthopedic surgeons in Philadelphia licking their lips in anticipation.

It's good to be optimistic but better to be realistic.

He can't miss enough games for my liking, so I'll say 15.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Vick is only one hit away from the IR and with it the Eagles season.

So is that "Bone, da Incubus" or "Bone da Incubus"? Because "Bone da Incubus" is kinda gay. I personally prefer the succubus, but to each his own. See how important a comma can be.

This lessen was brought to you by "fukeen Moron's" whom are smarter than you. Tsk, Tsk.
