Feeley intimidated by The Holcomb's presence?

[The Answer]

"Another benefit of playing for the Eagles is fans hang on every throw and every sentence whether you’re the franchise quarterback or, say the guy acquired last week from the Buffalo Bills with linebacker Takeo Spikes, which is the space occupied by veteran Kelly Holcomb.

Feeley couldn’t help but be vague when asked about Holcomb, the 11-year veteran quarterback who turns 34 just before training camp. There wasn’t much to say other than they met while Feeley for Miami in the AFC, and that Holcomb seems like a nice guy.

While Eagles head coach Andy Reid has indicated Feeley is the clear backup to McNabb, some details likely must be addressed. Feeley is due $800,000 in base pay this season after signing a three-year contract extension. Holcomb, on the other hand, is scheduled to earn a $1.485 million base in 2007. Garcia might have come back for that type of money.

"I got signed back to be a No. 2 quarterback," Feeley said. "I don’t know if that speaks for itself or it doesn’t. But there’s always competition. As a quarterback you know you’re always evaluated on your last performance. That being said, you’ve always got to prove yourself."

Feeley, ironically, will be teaching the offense to Holcomb who hasn’t practiced it since early in his career.

That’s just as surprising as the Eagles’ decision to bring in an older veteran after declining to re-sign the 37-year-old Garcia.

"I knew we needed to get another guy," Feeley said. "An offseason with just one quarterback who’s actually played in the NFL is tough because it’s hard to evaluate other players. I knew we needed a third guy for minicamps and everything else. With Donovan, you don’t know whether he’s going to be here at minicamp or training camp. So you definitely need a guy, kind of a seasoned guy that’s been there before. So it didn’t surprise me."

that is by far the funniest/dumbest/uneducated thing ive ever seen on this board. you are the only person who cares about a career backup that got traded to the NFC.

let it go.

Can someone who speaks in the 3rd person, really use the term we? Shouldn't everything be "The Bills fans, the Buffalo Bills and The Answer," or maybe I'm looking too far into this.

You are a browns fan correct?

The Answer senses a bit of anymousity here - don't hate on The Holcomb just because your franchise is still a joke and went further down the toilet after Holcomb's departure.

You are going to be very surprised this fall when Holcomb is running the Eagles high octane offense and makes it to the probowl once McNabb gets hurt again.

Meanwhile - regardless if JP struggles or plays well, we will be out of contention by november as usual.

The Answer detects another angry and frustrated fan - no need to whine and cry, The Answer wishes Holcomb is still a Bill as well but he's not and has moved on to greener pastures.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Answer I know you want your boy Holcomb to win a ring in Philly to justify your claim. However, the only way he wins a ring is the same way Robosack did, namely as the 3rd string clipboarder.

Holcomb blows ass.

[AndreReed83]

I'd like to know where in the article is even remotely hints at Feeley being intimidated? If anything, it makes things sound bad for Holcomb. Doesn't know the offense. Is being paid quite a bit of money. Sounds like cut bait.
