Pat Shurmur believe Vick will be quick study
Michael Vick - QB - Philadelphia Eagles
Feb. 16, 2013 - 11:50 AM ET

Eagles OC Pat Shurmur believes Michael Vick will be able to pick up head coach Chip Kelly's offense quickly.

Kelly prefers a simplified approach to football, and coaches don't expect a significant learning curve for Vick. One of the most significant changes will be the new verbiage associated with plays. "No matter what we decide to run or what the plays are, we'll try to have one or two words to paint the picture instead of five or six," said Shurmur. Vick struggled to gain complete command of Andy Reid's system, so it's tough to share Shurmur's optimism that Vick will quickly acclimate to Kelly's.
