Quote:
Rewind to spring 2003. The Philadelphia Eagles were in the process of cleaning house. The team and several popular 30-something players were parting ways, and it was not going over real well in the locker room.
"You try to sit back and learn from it, because you never know," said one veteran leader. "In a couple of years, it could be you."
The veteran who said that? Quarterback Donovan McNabb.
So, when McNabb said on Tuesday he was "shocked" to learn that the Eagles drafted his possible replacement with their first pick, he should've known it was coming. Under Andy Reid, this is the way Philly rolls.

I always think it is funny if you do something like this with any other postion it is called looking ahead, planning for the future, but heaven help them team that tries to do that with the QB position.
