This has been a question raised by analysts and fans alike and the answer is maybe. Yes, I am going with a middle of the road answer because Vick can stay healthy but he has to protect himself by not taking big hits, sliding, and getting out of bounds. Vick told the Philadelphia media this past week that they made him change the way he played the game of football, meaning making him more of a pocket passer.

As we all know Vick took more hits in the pocket than out of the pocket. One thing that will help Mike Vick is Chip Kelly; his offense is more based around quick passes, no huddles, and the run game. The run game will make Vick a better quarterback because if he throws the ball 20-25 times Vick is good but any more than that, you are putting him into a world of trouble.
