The poll on the Phillyblurb site has Feeley beating Garcia 77.2% to 22.8%.

"He's the quarterback and there's not a short leash," Reid said. "I brought Jeff in here for this situation, if something were to happen to Donovan. I have a lot of trust in Jeff. I have a lot of trust in A.J., too, but I brought Jeff in for this reason. He's a pretty good quarterback."

just as i thought...the best guy is not starting...instead garcia is only starting because andy told him he was the #2 when he signed him....stupid ass you play people who give you the best chance to win not who you told would play in april

Isn't it obvious Andy is TRYING to lose so he can get the best possible linemen available in the draft? I thought that was obvious.

LOL @ Spuds' comment on Garthia:

Quote
Garcia has a fire, an emotional intensity, that he carries with him. These last couple of seasons have dampened his spirit and his performance, certainly. We remember Garcia as the tough little quarterback in San Francisco, the guy with, as Garcia put it, "grit" in his game. He could ruin a defense with a scramble here and there and consistency in picking apart a defense in a variety of ways. He was a tough bugger, for sure.

How hard was he when he wrote that?

Eaglez · November 26, 2006, 01:56:18 PM

That's the most bonertastic quote I've seen from Spadaro in a while. Spadaro really reaches new heights in how much he tries to sell this team as a success when obviously they aren't.

Granted, that's his job. I wouldn't expect him to rip the Eagles on the Eagles official homepage. Who is going to trash their own product?

Without knowing the extent of McNabb\'s injury, and it looks bad, I do not want to see Jeff Garcia week after week. He has no arm strength.

Like 2002 - Start AJ.

He knows this offense and he has a good arm. He looked excellent in the preseason game.

This farging SUCKS! $:-\$ \

Good call Phreak! Way to show that football knowledge.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 25, 2006, 08:17:53 PM

I was wrong as wrong can be. And I have no problem admitting it.

I didn't think this defense could rise to the occasion either.

Shall we go pull up some of your dumbass statements? How about Dawk being done? Move him to WIL!

Nice football knowledge, jitbag.

How about that Spadaro comment now, Sus?

Eaglez · December 25, 2006, 09:36:08 PM

Maybe all this crow that is being dissed out will lead to a more reasoned discussion on this board... probably not.

In defense if Phreak he made that comment right after McNabb went down. Everyone else had time to take a step back and contemplate their posts after that. You should be pulling out posts of people who had some time to actually think and evaluate their posts. I'm sure there probably isn't a shortage of those.

troyhstewart · December 25, 2006, 11:29:00 PM

I was in favor of starting AJ whether I posted it or not on this board. I didn't have confidence in Garcia, the defense, or the special teams. Garcia and the defense has surprised me, along with the coaching staff actually calling farging run plays consistently. The O-line has been great all year long and Westbrook is the best player on the team, and needs more carries.

Which is what 80% of these posters on this board have said all year long.

Either way, I still have confidence in AJ if given the chance.

General_Failure · December 26, 2006, 01:51:42 AM

I still think Garcia sucks. And he does.

shorebird · December 26, 2006, 08:10:34 AM

He might, but Feeley couldn't run this offense any better. He has a better arm and would open things up deep, but I can't say anything bad about what Garcia has done so far. I'll eat my crow and enjoy it.

Eaglez · December 26, 2006, 09:10:54 AM

With the way the run game is, and the way the Eagles sustain drives, the Eagles really don't need to open things up 'deep'. Also, Garcia has shown that he can get the ball deep a few times a game, and demonstrated that against the Giants. Garcia can get it 'deep enough' to stretch a defense, but he's not going to throw it 60 yards in the air like McNabb or other strong-armed NFL QB's, which, at this point, is fine.

I'd rather have a consistent run game and passes ranging from 5-25 yards rather than the occasional bomb that might get 40 yards but then the drive stalls because we can't pick up short yardage consistently.
