Spagnuolo Names A.J. Feeley As His QB Starter

Former Eagles linebacker coach and current St. Louis Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo didn't forget the way Andy Reid used career back-up Doug Pederson as his starter during the beginning of Donovan McNabb's rookie season as a way of giving  retail Donovan McNabb jersey time to learn the offense.

According to StlToday.com, Spagnuolo has named A.J. Feeley as his starting quarterback and will let the number one pick in the draft, Sam Bradford, take his time and learn the offense.

"It would be an injustice to Sam and the rest of the team" to set a timetable, he said. "He's in the early stages of developing as an NFL jerseys quarterback. He came into the league far advanced from some quarterbacks I've worked with. We'll do first what's right for the team and second what's right for Sam."

This makes a lot of sense to me because the worst thing that can happen to a young quarterback like Bradford is to be put out there immediately and get pummeled behind a bad offensive line.

Feeley, who knows the offense like the back of his hand will get beat up, but he'll be able to get rid of the football by dumping it to his tight ends and running backs.  Bradford will sit and watch for much of the season, then take the helm at the time Spagnuolo and his staff see fit.
