Anderson became the starter by default. Which sucks because McNabb would've been a great option, unless the Eagles wanted something stupid for him, like Fitzgerald.
If this season is the disaster I expect it to be, hopefully we can get a franchise QB in the draft and maybe a serviceable journeyman via FA.

All of the local honks here were in agreement that if Hall wasn't a rookie he would have been the starter out of camp. He consistently outplayed everybody else. Then again, we saw what his first pro throw looked like and he sure didn't look ready.
I'll bet they would have kept Leinart if he hadn't spouted off. I don't think the throw that injured Fitz was the fault of the throw. Leinart just doesn't look downfield, and for a team that is hoping to push the run you need the QB looking at the deep routes and not the 5 yard safety valves. He'd have been in that game yesterday though, the way Anderson was playing, if he'd just kept his mouth shut.
