If the kid is supposed to take over starting duties now, he has the shortest week ever to do it. Bad timing. So lets say they wait until the game after... which is at the Giants. No way. Or the week after... which is a Monday Night game. Or the week after... which is against the Cowboys here in Philly. I don't think the time is right for a developing QB to come in and take over. If you want to pull McNabb, fine, go with Feeley though. I agree with pulling McNabb against the Ravens, but rolling the kid out there was bad news, especially since it was a winnable gmae when he took over.
at least he would get the reps in practice starting a game. He mostly likely got no reps last week and was thrown in trailing at Baltimore. There are better situations to get your first action. We've seen what Feeley can do and they might as well kept McNabb in there. I can understand your logic because the game was winnable and they are still mathematically in it. But if the orgainization thinks he's the future then why not?
it's similar to what happened with Romo a couple of years back. He was thrown in at half time trailing against the Giants and did not play well. But he got the reps for the following week against the Panthers. The rest is history.
Once they are officially out of it then I would play him if McNabb is truly on the way out. But that's just my opinion.
