text: what can the eagles do about the qb situation? mcnabb has a torn acl in his right leg, and the expected recovery time is one year +. as an eagles fan and an owner of donavan mcnabb on my best fantasy team, i am devastated. we can't rely on garica as of qb for the rest of this year and half of next year. i think we have to plan for the worst and assume mcnabb's career is over ( remember, he broke his leg a few years back) so, what can eagle nation do? i say we lose the rest of our games  to get a high draft pick, then draft troy smith or brady quinn as our qb of the future. any other suggestions? i disagree. i am also a die-hard eagles fan and i absolutely adore donovan mcnabb. i do agree that we need to start looking in the draft for a young qb who can be groomed into a starting qb over the next few years... not someone who is going to come right out of college and start in the nfl - because we don't need one of those guys right now. mcnabb will be back next season. i don't think for a second that mcnabb's career is over. that used to be the case when a football player sustained such a serious injury but not anymore (case in point: daunte culpepper who had a much more serious knee injury). mcnabb has bounced back from serious injuries in the past and come back even better than before the injury (like this season). my prediction is that he'll be ready at the start of next year's regular season (the expected recovery time is 8-12 months). i do, however, agree with you that we can't rely on garcia as a back up qb. i personally think we should start feeley for the remainder of the season. look what he did for us 5 years ago when mcnabb broke his ankle and detmer dislocated his elbow. he's no mcnabb but i definitely see him as a solid qb who we can count on to lead this team to a few more wins this season. as for throwing the rest of the season... that's ridiculous!! i understand the "panic" that you feel because i feel it too... but be a little more realistic. mcnabb will be back. he's a warrior. trust in 5!
