Yes.... My apologies for yet another Feeley thread but this is actually directed more towards the fans who saw Feeley play in Philly in the 2002-3 season. The Eagles had crap for receivers (Thrash, Pinkston) but they had a very good offensive line. Now nobody can really say that he did a horrible job for the Eagles going 4-1 and maintaining their no. 1 seed in the playoffs. Alright enough rambling.. Here's my question:
  • Did any Eagles fans or 'Fin fans in Philly see Feeley have the 'Dear in Headlights' look every time he dropped back to pass the ball?
  • If not is it possible that he developed that fear after literally getting sodomized by opposing defenses last season with our horrible OL play?
  • Don't you think that any QB who got abused as much as he did last season would need a little time to trust his OL to effectively block for him before he completely loses that fear and hence that 'look'?
These questions and points are probably moot at this juncture but hey... I figured I'd raise them anyway.

And now....... I'm gonna run for cover 'cos I have this strange feeling I'm gonna get mauled for starting yet another Feeley thread!!!:D

Maybe a Philly board is the place to ask, you would probably get some real responses, but most of the philly fans I know harass me about the trade so that tells me something about how they feel.
 
Try spelling deer right. The dear you used is for my dearest friend or something like that. This has already been discussed on this board. Probably why you aren't getting a lot of responses.
 
I remember those games very wel since it was obvious we would be loking to replace Fiedler. Also the 2001 finale when Feeley started at Tampa Bay since the game was meaningless to both teams a week before the playoffs.

Feeley was simple to analyze. A tunnelvision QB with very little touch who winged line drives into coverage. I posted that critique on another Dolphin site the day we traded for him last year. I had not joined this site at that time.

The game I remember most was a 10-3 home win over the Rams. Philly's only TD was an INT return vs. Kurt Warner. Feeley put up nothing all day and was basically asked not to screw up too much. I guess that made him worth a #2 pick.

David Carr doesnt have the dear in the headlights look. And he broke the record for times getting sacked in 2003

Either you don't understand the meaning of the word "literally" or I missed a very interesting play.

I don't think anybody would have missed that play. It would have been all over the news. :lol:
