Philadelphia Eagles News: Michael Vick Believes Current Team Can Become a Dynasty

The self-proclaimed "Dream Team", as stated by former backup quarterback Vince Young, the disaster that was the 2011 season for the Eagles isn't scaring Michael Vick from associating an even bigger word to describe his team heading into the 2012 season.

Vick, in an interview with Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, believes the current Eagles team can become a dynasty.

"When I looked 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, just one season after a disappointing 8-8.

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

Vick says he believes the Eagles are in a "special place" now and believes his teammates share his same mindset.

"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?"

Vick led the Eagles to a 10-6 record and an NFC East title in 2010, and was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year. But he faced injuries and inconsistent performances in the 2011 season, in which he threw a career-worst 14 interceptions in just 13 games.

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