As a quick follow up from my first blog, the Philadelphia Eagles have done the impossible. They released QB Kafka, and have kept veteran quarterback Trent Edwards. The roster is now finalized for the Philadelphia Eagles and the quarterbacks will be Michael Vick, Nick Foles, and Trent Edwards.
For now, it appears the Eagles have made the correct decision. Now, time will tell if this decision was made for this team in hope for a championship that is long overdue. Will Vick last a season? Probably not. The odds are against him; however, with a rookie sensensation and veteran QB, who knows how these backups will respond to adversity. My best guess: Both will rise to the challenge.
Despite pre-season being dominated mainly by the second and third string players, both of these quarterbacks proved leadership, consistency, intelligence, poise, and fearlessness. These characteristics are rare in todays game. Foles and Edwards have what it takes to lead this team to victory, all that awaits is harnessing that spark that both of them had during the pre-season and releasing it when the Eagles need that characteristic the most. The NFL should keep an eye on this team. Maybe a team can survive and thrive with three quarterbacks that have such different styles of play. Who knows.
