Who should QB for the Eagles in 2010?

The Eagles find themselves with one of those "good problems to have." Three quarterbacks under contract who have had (varying amounts of) success leading pro football teams.

The candidates:

Donovan McNabb, the face of the franchise, its best-ever quarterback, he of 10 seasons at the helm, of 7 trips to the playoffs (and 7 exits, stage right, from the post-season), he who's experienced no discernible deterioration of his skills, but also no discernible amelioration of his weaknesses.
Kevin Kolb, the heir apparent ever since Andy Reid made him a surprise second-round pick in the 2007 draft. Kolb got his first two regular season starts this year, and he performed admirably.
Michael Vick, the Mild-Cat, the Sound and the Fury, the Much Ado, the convicted dog killer who parlayed a mountain of hype and righteous fan indignation in to a 6-13, 86 yards line on the season a bonus 24 carries for 95 yards rushing. He of the two biggest plays (a touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin, a botched handoff to Leonard Weaver that led to a Dallas TD) of the Eagles playoff cameo.


Pick 'em!
