The Eagles, through their long and somewhat-tortured history, have been familiar with strange situations at the quarterback position. It is that spot on the football depth chart where otherwise reliable decision-makers - including coaches, team executives, and the players themselves - come up with some head-scratching stuff, and never more than when a team is about to switch from one savior to the next.
Just recently, the handoff from Michael Vick to Nick Foles was messy; as was the one from Donovan McNabb to Kevin Kolb; and, reaching further back, who else but Buddy Ryan could have used three different quarterbacks in the same series (Ron Jaworski, Randall Cunningham, and Matt Cavanaugh in 1986), with none of them having sustained an injury on the drive?
