Michael Vick sees Eagles dynasty

The disaster that was the Eagles' 2011 "Dream Team" isn't scaring Michael Vick from incorporating an even bigger "" word to describe his team heading into the 2012 season. In an interview Tuesday with Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, Vick said he believed this current squad can become a dynasty.

"When I look at our football team and what we have on paper, I think about when I was growing up and the great San Francisco 49er teams, the great Green Bay Packer teams, and the great Dallas Cowboy teams, how they just positioned themselves to compete and be one of the best teams out there," Vick said, one season after the Eagles finished a disappointing 8-8.

"I think we have a chance to be that. I think we have a chance to develop a dynasty."

Vick told Comcast SportsNet that he believes his teammates share the same sentiment.

"I think it's just a mindset for my organization on down to the players," he said in the interview. "We know we can do it. We know what we have, that's the great thing about it. We know what we have as a team, as an organization and what better position to be in than to know that you have an opportunity?" Quarterback Vince Young, who is no longer with the team, infamously dubbed the 2011 Eagles a "Dream Team" after an offseason spending spree that landed star cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, defensive end Jason Babin and defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins, among others.

This offseason, the Eagles concentrated on giving big-money extensions to players already on the roster, such as wide receiver DeSean Jackson, running back LeSean McCoy, and defensive end Trent Cole. They did add two-time Pro Bowl linebacker DeMeco Ryans in a trade with the Texans, but their free-agent signings weren't as splashy as in 2011.

Vick led the Eagles to a 10-6 record and an NFC East title in 2010, when he was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year. But he had injuries and inconsistent performances in 2011, during which he threw a career-worst 14 interceptions in just 13 games. He told Comcast SportsNet that he's determined to cut down on his turnovers this season. Vick said he believes the Eagles are in a "special place" now. Still, even though he wasn't afraid to talk about a dynasty, he admitted later in the interview that Philadelphia has to make the playoffs first.

"I think just getting to the postseason right now is our focus," he told Comcast SportsNet. "The Super Bowl is going to come if it's meant to happen. Some of the best teams have some of the best luck. Maybe we'll have some of that. I think our focus needs to be one game at a time, just getting into the postseason."

The Eagles open training camp next week. Vick is scheduled to report with the team's other quarterbacks and rookies Sunday.

Greatest White Athlete Ever...Tom Brady.

(Maradona and Messi got Negro Blood Flowing through their Veins)

A-40:
Rumors of Peyton Mannings demise seems to have been greatly exaggerated. Still didn't think my team's D did enough to stop him late! And then u had Big Ben who was solid even with no protection at all but picked the wrong time to throw a pick 6

RG III was the star of the weekend for me! I don't remember when last the Skins scored 40. Andrew Luck by contrast did not have his dream debut!

Suprised with the way Alex Smith picked apart the Packers too! Who said Randy Moss was done?

Then u have the Tebow-Sanchez experiment! Looks like its off to a good start but its the Bills they beat so its too early to get carried away

How? He aint even the best QB
As for the Eagles mehn till Michael Vick shows he can consistently throw the ball
the Eagles don't have a prayer

We rep the Mighty Steelers

Ahhhh...lol Disrespecting my Boy.

Brady is Immortal.

Ill Reply to this thread in February

Shout out to RgIII Though, the Kid is Electrifying.

shymexx: Eagles vs. Ravens to day - Michael Vick has to play better today and stop forcing big plays...

Leggo Eagles!!

A-40:

Battle of the birds! Who would soar higher? Vick aint doing too badly just threw a TD! Please help us beat those damn Ravens

The Giants are looking a mess tho

shymexx: I don't think Alex Smith is an elite QB, Frank Gore and the 49ers' running game is taking the pressure off him... And his OFL is great compared to most of the other QBs in the NL...

Alex Smith and Joe Flacco are still 3rd tier QBs..

Only Patriots fans rate Brady over Manning. Give Peyton Manning the Pittsburgh Steelers and we win the SB at least 4 times

Quote of the week
Packers defensive back Charles Woodson "Same old Jay. We don't need luck -- we just need to be in position. Jay will throw us the ball.

lol nah im actually a Raiders fan. I respect Brady allot though. Mah Favorite Player.

I think he's better than Peyton...I don't even think Peyton is better than Aaron Rodgers or Brees to be Honest with you

Aaron Rodgers better than Peyton Manning looool Get real bro!! No way Brady is better than Peyton. The Colts bar Peyton are an ordinary team and this we saw last season

~Royal~:

Peyton is the Greatest "Regular Season" Quarterback of all time...Just like Skip Bayless Says LoL

Bayless is a hater!!

~Royal~:

Patriots$ Belichick Have Humiliated him in Post Seasons in the past with average Talent on that side of the ball(Tedy bruschi, Ty Laws, Harrisons .Ect.)

He is Far Inferior in the Post Season compared to the Machine of Consistency he is in the Regular Season.

The Patriots of the early 00's where grimy a$$ niggas! Hahaha those guys where hard oh! Do you think Brady won 3 SB's by his own power? Spygate aside
