Eagles Named Best & Worst Of Week 13

Every week, Football Outsiders highlight their three best and three worst performances of the week. Two Eagles made the lists this week; one good, one bad. LeSean McCoy, predictably, was good.

McCoy ran the ball 17 times against Seattle, and the Eagles threw to him on five other plays. McCoy gained 133 yards on those 22 plays. He finished with six plays for 10 yards or more and gained 11 first downs, including a pair of touchdowns.

Vince Young, as you might guess, was bad.

Young wasn't the worst quarterback of the week, but we've already said enough about Hanie. Young dropped back to pass 31 times against Seattle and picked up only 10 first downs. Meanwhile, he was sacked twice and threw four interceptions. Aside from a 47-yard completion to Riley Cooper, Young averaged fewer than 6 yards per pass. His third-down performance was particularly brutal: 2-for-7 passing, 13 yards, one first down (a 2-yard touchdown) and an interception.

LOL if you think 3-6 vick looked nearly as bad as 1-2 VY

3-6 & 1-2 both are losing records

If you are more concerned about how they looked in those games, then for you the records don’t matter. I’m sure that neither Vick or Young are happy with the results.

It’s nowhere close…and obviously, our record indicates a lot more is wrong than just qb play * COUGH* EL DEFENSE COUGH

and the giants game he was terrible too

i dont care what people say about that one drive. he missed wide open TD passes and even turned one into an INT… the defense won that game (wow it feels soo weird to say that)

So many people on here loved when the Eagles signed VY because “he’s a winner”. He’s a terrible QB, sure he can improvise, but he can’t do the basic things a QB should be able to do being in the league as long as he has been, read a defense before the snap, read through his progressions, hit a wide open receiver, etc. He’s terrible, and his play this year is again proving it.

If we were even CLOSE to the playoffs

I’m willing to bet that Reid would cut the f#ck out of Young and sign McNabb

are you serious

teams hare down to their 3rd qb — and for the texans even worse…and NO ONE is rining his phone…that tells you something

And who was ready to ring Young's phone?

Who will be now? I’d take McNabb (yes, even now) over Young. Young was terrible when we signed him, and he’s terrible now. I’m not saying McNabb is good…he’s not. But he’s better than Young.
