Backup QB Battle.

  As of right now the Eagles have 4 QB s on the roster Michael Vick, Mike Kafka, Trent Edwards, and Nick Foles (Third round pick out of Arizona State). Likely the Eagles will keep 3 QB s come week one so lets go over the positives and negatives of each backup QB.

Trent Edwards

Positives: When Edwards was a Buffalo Bill he started off pretty productive taking the Bills to a 4-0 start in 2008 but after a concussion against Arizona he never seemed the same. He has good accuracy and is mobile enough if the line breaks down.

Negatives: Trent Edwards has had a couple injury's and has since leaving the Bills been a journeyman going to the Jaguars then the Raiders after Oakland he didn't even play last season. Another flaw in Edwards is that he sometimes passes on the deep throws and differs to the short passes to the RB. 

Mike Kafka

Positives: Kafka has been under the Eagle's system going on now 3 seasons and seems to improve every year. Last year he got his first taste of regular season football against the Falcons in week two almost winning the game for the Eagles after he threw a perfect ball to Jeremy Maclin who then dropped the ball. He threw some nice passes in that game including a deep pass to Maclin. Overall I would be comfortable having Kafka come in if Vick goes down.

Negatives: Kafka struggled in his second game against the Giants in week three throwing 2 picks in only a couple throws, so he has some decision making issues that he should be able to fix this season.

Nick Foles

Positives: Foles has set all the passing records in Arizona State, which earned him being selected in the third round by the Eagles. He has a rocket arm and is a great pocket passer and under Andy Reid's offense Reid will find ways to make Foles excel in this offense. With depth at the WR position if he was ever to get in a game he will have all the pieces around him to succeed. 

Negatives: Reid is used to mobile quarterbacks so it will take some adjusting for him to fit Foles into the system. He also is not very accurate with his throwing so he has some work to do come training camp.

Prediction: This is what I think the QB depth chart will look like come the start of the regular season.

1. Michael Vick

2.Mike Kafka

3.Nick Foles 

As for Trent Edwards I would not let Kafka go Edwards missed all of last years and has a lot of flaws in his game.
