If you are Andy Reid's quarterback, it is a feet-first job. You must get the feet right in your drop-backs, reads, throws and balance.
Reid has his guy -- Michael Vick's fancy feet do not fail.
If you are Kevin Gilbride's quarterback, it is all about progressions. Following progressions of a pass play, whether that passing tree involves combo, vertical or stretch pattern reads. Stay on the perception and discipline of the play. Kill the free-lancing.
Gilbride has his guy -- Eli Manning is as by-the-book a passer as they come.
Reid, the Eagles coach, and Gilbride, the Giants offensive coordinator, present their quarterbacks in premier style on Sunday night when the Giants clash with the Eagles in Philadelphia. This is the first of their two annual divisional battles. Both teams are 6-3 and tied atop the NFC East. By foot or by book, one of these quarterbacks, one of these teams is about to strut a notch ahead.
With different styles, Reid and Gilbride have helped push Vick and Manning, respectively, toward career-best seasons.
Peyton Manning meets Tom Brady on Sunday at New England. But Vick vs. Eli Manning offers matching intrigue.
