PHILADELPHIA LOVES to hate its starting quarterbacks.
The only thing we like better than a 20-point win with three touchdown passes is a 20-point win with three interceptions. Then we can enjoy the victory, but still gripe about the guy under center.
I wasn't around then, but I can only imagine what Barkann was saying about poor Red Kirkman back in 1933 when he threw 13 interceptions and just two TD passes for that first 3-5-1 Eagles team. Legend has it some scoundrel put a bag of dog poop on the front seat of his Ford Model T after a particularly ugly loss to the Portsmouth Spartans.
