McNabb, Feeley, or Kolb

[Phillyiggles_fan]

I was at the game last night in Standing Room Only and a fugly Patriots fan with turned to me at the end and said, "You almost pulled it off.  Well at least you've found a QB now."

My response without thinking very much about it was, "Yeah, his name is Kevin Kolb and he's on the bench right now." 

I watched Feeley miss several obvious match-up with Westbrook against Junior Seau who's definitely lost a step or two and not even look his way.  But he might get better b/c a few of his bad throws were obvious lack of playing time with receivers.  Feeley seemed to throw to areas of the field where he expected the receivers to be based upon his reads and the recievers ran a different pattern.  For example, the final interception he threw as if it was a fly to the corner of the endzone and the receiver ran a stop and go.

Now I think they should give Feeley a shot with a short leash and if it looks like the birds have no shot at the playoffs start giving the rookie the ball.

McNabb should get ready for Minnesota. Maybe he'll have a comeback like Randall did there but I'm sick of watching him look like a stiff with no aim in Philly.

well your all sorts of wrong.

first feeley missed some passes but all QBs do. no one is really perfect on every play and makes the exact righ read.

2ndly on that second INT, curtis did not run a stop and go. he ran a double move where he faked the post.

and you have no idea if they have or have not found a QB in Kolb. what are you basing that on?

at this point, with the record being 5-6, the eagles believe they have a chance at the playoffs and will definetly not turn to the rookie. maybe if they are eliminated from the playoff hunt.

Feeley should play until McNabb is 100% in the ankle and thumb, at least.

Kolb shouldn't be in the discussion at all right now.  He's holding a clipboard as he should be.

End of Discussion

who plays qb comes down to one simple question...do the eagles intend to have mcnabb on the team next year...if they do then he should start if they dont then cobb should start if hes nfl ready...if not feely plays until cobb can play in the league

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

To make it simple, play the guy that gives the team the best chance to win.

It will be Feeley against Seattle this week.
It won't be Kolb at any point this season.


There really isn't a controversy until McNabb is totally healthy.

[Feva]

That stands to reasonable logic, but you've got to understand that this FO believes they're "only 1 game out of a playoff spot" and they're going to push hard for it... no matter how futile that goal is.  That eliminates Kolb and probably means AR will rush McNabb back on the field wether he's 100% ready to go or not.  

[ice grillin you]

why play the guy that gives you the best chance to win...they arent making the playoffs this year...you have to play towards next year...if in reids mind mcnabb is going to be the opening day starter next year then he should start now...if this year is the end of the mcnabb era then the torch must be passed and you gotta go to the kid when hes ready...until then go with the guy who will be on the team next year and possibly be the starter (feely)

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I thought we were discussing what the best decision would be, not what Andy will do.  That's obviously a completely different discussion.

No doubt McNabb is playing at ~85% against Seattle and the Eagles have very little chance to beat a Seahawks team that actually is NOT very good at all.

[Feva]

You covered what the best decision would be a couple posts ago.

We just all know that And has zero chance of making the best decision.

He's gonna throw McNabb back in there, ready or not... and go back to chucking the ball all over the place.

which is a crying shame, because watching Feely consistently put the ball where the receiver can catch it, and hitting them on the break is what a McNabb should do but never will do here in Philadelphia or anywhere. McNabb doesnt make half of those throws in the pocket--in the pocket the key word. Watching the game was eye-opening, and how management could go back to inefficiency is mind-boggling

[ice grillin you]

i really dont care who starts but i must laugh at all the people calling for feely to be the starter after he did last night exactly what people kill mcnabb for

a bunch of good plays ruined by some unbelievably awful interceptions

feely SUCKS and should be nothing more than a bridge to cobb

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He's gonna throw McNabb back in there, ready or not... and go back to chucking the ball all over the place.

He was throwing it all over the place last night also... only with a QB that occasionally throws with accuracy.

[reese125]

well McNabb blows then because I'll put my life on it, he doesnt manage that game like Feely did. No well in hell he makes those kind of throws without trying to scramble first. Its obvious Feely is a back-up, and so was Garcia until he proved otherwise.
