Just like last season, all eyes are on the quarterback position as the eagles go through their training camp at the NovaCare Complex.
Only this season, the eyes are on the backups.
With Nick Foles firmly cemented in as the starting quarterback heading into this season, backups Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley are left battling it out to see who will be the guy should Foles go down. Even second-year player G.J. Kinne has forced his way into the competition, taking some third-team reps from Barkley.
The main battle, however, is between Sanchez and Barkley. The two could not be more different, as Sanchez brings 64 games of starting experience to his potential role as backup. Barkley, on the other hand, is entering just his second-season, and would seem to have a higher ceiling if given the opportunity to play.
Here is how each quarterback performed on Sunday.
Sanchez did a nice job moving the ball on Sunday, as he got his unit all the way down into the red zone in a drill against the second-team defense. Sanchez stalled there, however, missing his next three passes. The quarterback's best throw of the day was down the right sideline to tight end Zach Ertz, as he hit the second-year player in stride and put it where only he could get it over the cornerback. Overall, not a bad or special day from the veteran.
