For a reason you obviously don't understand. Feeley was 3rd on the depth chart, yes, but it was understood that he was their number 2 QB. Why???? because NFL rule states that if your 3rd Qb enters the game ( for any reason ) before the 4th qtr..... your first 2 Qbs cannot re-enter. And since Detmer has been firmly entrenched as Akers placeholder, bringing him in for kicks would eliminate McNabb, Feeley. Therefore, the eagles wisely put Detmer ahead of Feeley. Now lets say McNabb went down during a game and it was understood he would be out multiple weeks: Detmer would enter the game as the #2, but every following week, Feeley would start until McNabb was healthy. This apply's to Feeley's final year in Philly only, The year before he had never seen time on the field until he had about 5 starts and earned the unofficial #2 spot. I understand how this is not well known because the "experts" on ESPN are to busy with makeup and teleprompters to realize it. I just hate repeating it all the time.
You can scream this from the rooftops and people don't want to hear it...
Whether it is the leftover "Fiedler lovers" or the "Feeley haters"....they don't WANT to listen.
I know by posting I am just encouraging this thread to go on and on but I must speak my peace.
I'll repeat what has been said in this thread and 430096805860586 other times on this board.
You CAN NOT evaluate a quarterback properly when he:
A.) Was in his first year in a whole new system.
B.) Was in his first year as a starter.
C.) Was not given first team reps in training camp.
D.) Was playing behind the worst offensive line in the league...by a WIDE margin.
E.) Had NO SEMBLANCE of a running game.
F.) Had inconsistent recievers and tight ends.
F.) Had ZERO support from the head coach.
G.) Had ZERO support from the other quarterback. Fiedler was a b|tch about the whole thing from the beginning. Bringing in Frerotte will be the best thing that ever happened to Feely.
H.) Was playing for an offensive coaching staf that was being run by an idiot (Foerrster) and being subverted from within by an egomaniac (Trestman). The offensive coaching staf was a horror show...how can A.J. be properly evaluated in that enviroment?
You put Joe Montana ( NO I AM NOT COMPARING A.J. TO HIM) in the enviroment that surrounded this team last year and he would have looked bad to. At least A.J. hung in there, took his weekly a$$ kicking and came back the next week.
