How not to fix the Eagles

SI.com's Andrew Perloff is writing that the QB controversy in Philadelphia is not between McNabb and Kolb. If Kolb cannot prove himself this year, the Birds may head in another direction.

When Philadelphia owner Jeffrey Lurie, a Boston native, goes after Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels in the offseason, they're going to be tempted to sign the unrestricted free agent Cassel.


Let me tell you why this won't work:

1. Matt Cassel has had back to back 400+ yard games.... throwing to Randy Moss and Wes Welker.

2. Kevin Curtis and DeSean Jackson are not Moss and Welker.

It doesn't matter if the Eagles have McNabb or Cassel, Marino or Joe Montana, or both Manning brothers at the same time at QB, they're not going to fix their team until they sign a WR the opposing defense will respect, and until they learn to establish a running attack.
