Season's over, right? Wrong.
Middle Linebacker - Stewart Bradley (concussion) is not good at football. What has he done? Aside from miss an entire season in 2009, I can't think of anything. He is studying Fench and is Mormon. Gee I can't think of a reason why Reid has stuck with him... His replacement is Omar Gaither. Last I checked he took Bradley's place last year and we made the playoffs.
Center - Jamaal Jackson (torn triceps) is 30-years-old, was undrafted, and went to Delaware State. Delaware State... His replacement is Mike McGlynn who is 25, was drafted in the 4th round, and went to Pitt. McGlynn already has a reception this year for crying out loud!
Quarterback - Kevin Kolb (concussion) is a genius. He has milked being a coach's son into a 2nd round draft choice and a $12.25 million extension. The smartest decision would be for him to miss significant time and sign another extension. Kolb could be the next Detmer brothers... His replacement is Michael Vick who is an awful human being. That being said, he is a very good football player. The Eagles play football. Vick will not win us a Super Bowl. We were not supposed to win this year anyway. I say let Kolb "learn the system" and "mature" a little longer while another more talented quarterback gets the job done.
Fullback - Leonard Weaver (torn ACL) is a fullback. Fullbacks play such an insignificant role in today's NFL that I am tempted to not even mention him here. The only reason I decided to is because the Eagles used him essentially as a running back last year... His replacement, then, isn't a replacement at all. It's the starting running back Lesean McCoy. Espn.com has the Eagles starting fullback as "blank." No one cares who fills his spot.
