Well number 5 is done for the year, and possibly longer. So now its up to Jeff Garcia and AJ Feeley to lead the team for the remainder of the year and possibly beyond. Not sure who will be starting next week, but my gut tells me that it will be Jeff Garcia. I am sure Andy Reid and Tom Heckert will be going over the waiver and free agent wires this week and maybe bring in another veteran as an alternative to Garcia and Feeley. I just hope they don't bring back Koy Detmer.
I'd like to see Feeley get a shot at leading the offense since he has experience with the team. Garcia did okay today, but I think now that he has the opportunity to be the starter, and will practice with the first team he will do better next week. He needs to step in and step up. The Colts will not be easy next week.
Whomever starts next week, has big shoes to fill. McNabb is a great quarterback, although he lacked consistency sometimes, he always made defenders think about what he might do. Feeley and Garcia do not have the excitement factor that McNabb brings as well as the running ability. Should be an interesting game, especially since the Colts lost to Dallas today, and the Colts are now 9-1.
Stay tuned, and let's see if the Eagles can salvage at least a .500 season this year.
