He was too stubborn to create an offense based on the personnel he had and was constantly trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Chip Kelly has already stated that he builds his offense and his gameplans around the personnel he has.
Not only that but by all accounts Vick has been flat out better than Foles in training camp and preseason. He's also been having the best preseason he's had in recent memory. I know preseason isn't the best indicator for overall team performance, but there has generally been some correlation between QBs who have a strong preseason and an above-average regular season.
Regardless, the Eagles aren't going to be good this year. The defense has looked atrocious so far. When my team sucks, I at least like them to be exciting while they suck, and Vick will definitely bring more excitement than Foles.

That just doesnt excuse some of the throwing decisions he made nor a LOT of the fumbles that came not while under pressure but after running with the ball.
IMO, he just isnt a very good QB and there is little evidence to dispute it...and i thought he would tear it up in Philly with all the weapons he had at his disposal.
