After last night's 31-28 loss to the Patriots, Eagles' Fans are clamoring for backup quarterback A.J. Feeley to continue playing -- even if starter Donovan McNabb is healthy (ankle/thumb). An on-line poll at philly.com is asking fans which player should take the snaps next Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Over 80 percent are siding with Feeley!
The take here? I am of the opinion that last night's strong showing was an "Eff U" from the team to McNabb. I think players are tired of his fragile psyche. They loathe how his parents fight his battles in the press and on the web. He has not been good for over a year and is a constant lightning rod for controversy.
What if Andy Reid puts McNabb back in this week and he lays an egg? Then the coach is really in a bind and he, most likely, will have lost his team for the season. If he sticks with Feeley and the Eagles lose Sunday, he can sell people on McNabb's return.
Feeley played well enough last night to inspire his team's confidence. He deserves to start on Sunday.
