My mom is the biggest Philly fan i know, and she said to me Donovan was the reason why the eagles didnt re-sign Garcia after he had his monster season in 2006. she said he felt threatened by him especially after fans started saying they wanted JG to start in 2007 over Donovan...

Most of my family are big Philly fans and I never heard them complain about ego/image/primadonna questions but the others I've heard as well.

What Grossman seemed to imply by his comments and hesitation to talk to the hosts that there was clear tension between Donovan and Kyle and his practice performance/habits were a big part of it. Rex emphasized in his tone that Kyle is very specific in what he expects from his QB and how his QB is supposed to execute it. When he said that Kyle is so specific to even the number of hitches as they go thru progressions I can see that being an issue with the way McNabb improvs. That would also seem to eliminate any thoughts of Vince Young because he's an improv QB as well.
