Reuben Frank, the rare Eagles observer who actually knows what he's talking about, on the "quarterback controversy":
It's amazing how people can conjure up a controversy out of nothing. And this is truly nothing. You might not want to hear this, because conspiracy theories are always more fun than the truth. But Donovan McNabb is still glad Michael Vick is here. He's still excited about the possibilities Vick brings to the offense. And he’s still willing to move around from snap to snap to accommodate the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback once he returns from his undetermined NFL suspension.Certain other people, however, would rather just invent stuff like this out of whole cloth.

Just because McNabb asked offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg during the preseason game against the Jaguars to let him run the offense for a while without Vick shuttling on and off the field does not mean McNabb hates Vick, it doesn't mean he's jealous of Vick, and it doesn't mean he doesn't want to share the spotlight with Vick. People who are actually around the team and talk to McNabb know that McNabb's desire to get in a few series against Jacksonville Thursday night does not mean McNabb doesn't want Vick on the field with him once Vick's suspension is lifted
