I mean, no offense to all you Philly people, but if McNabb gets traded I wish him the best and hope he gets traded to a city that appreciates his talent a little more.
On the other hand, I think more than likely we will see McNabb play all season and Vick get introduced as an option or something? Perhaps they can come up with some sick McNabb/Vick combo and put Vick out there as a receiver or something. Imagine the possibilities.

McNabb will be the starter. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "he gets shit from the whole organization." Reid has been overly faithful to McNabb throughout his career because they got to Philly at the same time. Sure, he got benched last year, but he deserved to get benched. If he was your starting QB, you would have wanted him benched, but hey, he turned it around and got his contract reworked for more money, that's not so bad.
I will agree that the fans have been tougher on him than necessary, at least if you listen to sports talk radio that's what you'll hear. I'm a firm believer that McNabb's the best QB the franchise has ever had, and I love him as a player, and I think a lot of people feel that way too. Sometimes you just hear the opposite of that because people always want to paint Philly sports fans as a bunch of assholes. And hey, some people are, we're the town that just killed a guy in the Phillies parking lot, but a lot of people are just passionate about winning.
As for how they'll use Vick, by the time he is reinstated I think he'll be #2 on the depth chart over Kevin Kolb. If McNabb gets hurt, Vick will be right in there. But I bet you see Vick in 5 or 6 plays a game even with McNabb as the starter. Whether he becomes a decoy, runs, or actually throws the ball, he'll be something the defense has to prepare for. I'm excited to see how Reid works him in there.
