McNabb was not happy with the way Vick was used

Earlier reports said that the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Donovan McNabb was the one who initiated signing of Michael Vick. But after Thursday’s preseason game, there were reports that McNabb was not all that pleased with Vick’s playing.

Thursday night’s game was Vick’s Eagles debut and reports said that his playing interrupted the offense McNabb led. McNabb was seen unhappily discussing with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhigweg. He appeared to be telling Morningweg the Vick plays were disrupting the offense's rhythm and momentum. Seemingly to prove it, the offense moved much better under McNabb’s control after Vick left the field.

Eagles coach Andy Reid downplayed the speculation and Mornhinweg declined to comment when he was asked by reporters about the discussion with McNabb. But quite a few players confirmed that the starting quarterback was unhappy.
