Steussie was projected as a backup this season after making 15 starts for the team last year. He will be sidelined six to eight weeks and will undergo surgery as soon as possible. He will also be placed on the team's Physically Unable to Perform list. [/quote] He is not PUP eligible. Unless I am completely mistaken and I don't think I am!

They are really impressed with the rookie and some feel he could even start later this year. Also, Reid has been real careful about McNabb's ego. I think that is part of the reason they let Garcia walk; they don't want a veteran QB behind McNabb who could start. Feeley won't be out that long and Reid likes him because "he knows the system". Feeley is a horrible QB though

 [quote="John Childress"]L Byron really needs to lose some weight and learn how to set up quicker. He is injured a lot. I can't believe ATL would pass on ANY QB at this point. KC?[/quote] ****************************************** I agree on both points. Leftwich is slow afoot and doesn't have a very quick release. And yes, Atlanta is in no position to be not looking at ANY QB.

I could see Atlanta or maybe even Baltimore.

If Reid stepped down from the Eagles and tried to do something I am sure that there is a team that would hire him as HC/GM in 2 years. Sure, he has built a good team and now he has drafted a young QB that can take the team for another decade (in his mind). But how can you stand by and let your kids fall apart like that and not even try?

Status: offline 		I agree with you John. Obviously we don't know the whole story, but I'd give up any career in order to do whatever I could to help my kids if they were in the middle of a crisis as his are. The Reid boys are clearly beyond the point in which you can just insist that they pull themselves back up by the bootstraps and fix themselves. They need lots of help, and who better than their own parents?

He needs to groom a QB for the future. So, he drafted Kolb. McNabb's best days are like the things you see in your rear view mirror....they are behind him.

quote:

The NFL on Saturday confirmed that Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson admitted to NFL officials that he received illegal drugs while an assistant with the Chicago Bears. Wilson, who has been suspended for five games by the league, told ESPN.com's Matt Mosley that he took a substance which he did not specify to treat his diabetes. He said he did not pass the drugs along to anyone else and that he had "no regrets on trying to improve my quality of life." According to the New York Daily News, Wilson admitted receiving human growth hormone while working for the Bears from 2004-06. The league said that Harrison, Wilson and Richard Ryzde, a former doctor for the Pittsburgh Steelers, were involved in an Internet pharmaceutical distribution ring for steroids and other performance enhancers being investigated by the Albany (N.Y.) District Attorney's office.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3000615 If it is to help him with his diabetes, and he wasn't playing anymore, and he did pass them on, what is the difference. I take steroids everyday in an inhaler to help clear my lungs. If a coach needed that, would he have a lifetime ban?

If they actually help diabetes, why didn't he get a doctor to give him a Rx?

The Eagles QB lineup should have been McNabb-Garcia-Kolb and they would have looked just like the Vikings in 1999. mcNabb's best throwing days are ahead of him - but only if he can avoid injury. McNabb was having one of his best years last year before he got hurt.
