All 3 QBs active for Birds

Kafka gives Eagles best chance to win right now
Michael Vick's concussion makes him questionable for next week when the Eagles open their home schedule against the New York Giants.
The Eagles prepared for this scenario by signing Vince Young - who is hurt. Young is coming off strained hamstring.
Andy Reid gave his patented "we'll see" answer when asked if VY would be ready this week.
If the Eagles have any sense left Kafka should get the start this week. If VY isn't totally mobile he'd pretty much useless against the Giants.
Never thought I'd be saying this because Young is 30-17 as an NFL starter while Kafka saw his first action Sunday night.
But it's obvious Kafka gives the Eagles the best chance to win right now.
(Sadly this truck was gone after the game)
