I agree that McNabb's WRs have been doo doo for the most part. They tried to give him a premier WR and it didn't work out because their egos clashed. Sorry, but you can't really get a premier WR that doesn't have a huge ego. Mcnabb is the most emo QB in NFL history and I would not be surprised if he were to cut himself one day. Get it? "Cut" himself? Bet Bert Farve wishes he could do that.. Know what? I agree that McNabb’s WRs have been doo doo for the most part.

The guy plays in a WCO and has had a completion % over 60 exactly twice (once with TO, once last year)? Hey that's only one fewer time than he has had a 16 game season in his career. Woopee. He's much ado about nothing. McNabb is an AWFUL passer so he gets exposed by an average WR corps.

McNabb has had very few big-name weapons throughout his years with the Eagles, and the first several years, he did it pretty much all by himself. The year he had Westbrook and TO, he had everything in place that he needed to win a championship. However, in the Super Bowl whenever he ended up puking his guts out during the 2 minute drill while everyone else on the team was up on the line waiting for him to get under center, it pretty much killed any lasting enthusiasm I can muster for McNabb. I hope McNabb can stay healthy this year, and if he does, it'll be his last shot at showing that he's a championship-level QB. If not, then bring on the Kolb era. Maybe Kolb will be able to keep his lunch down whenever he's running the most important 2 minute drill of his career.

Because he needs an excuse if he screws up. You didn't hear Brady b*tching about his sports hernia like McNabb did. He conveniently uses injury to justify his crappy games. Remember in Philly vs. Dallas when he was healthy enough to do a Michael Jackson move in the end zone. But when he threw the pick, he went down like a sack of potatos and then milked his injury. McNabb in Philly is nowhere close to the legend of Favre in GB and, quite frankly, had Favre been in Philly, they would have won at least 2 SB's. Why, because Favre was a leader by example.

Maybe Reid chose Kolb the year he did b/c he liked him over the other QB's that were picked/available in '06, '08, and beyond... Listen, if McNabb stays healthy, and in turn is back to McNabb form for 2008, we won't be talking about him moving anywhere next year either, and what a classy mentor Kolb has to learn under while he grows accustom to the NFL. Comparing McNabb & the Eagles to the Favre fiasco confuses the hell out of me. What, is McNabb supposed to play until he’s 90?

Favre is loved in Green Bay. He gave them a championship. He never gets injured. McNabb couldn't put it together to call signals in the biggest game of his life. He's constantly injured and he's a crybaby. Oh, and Favre's parents don't BLOG. The two situations couldn’t be more different. Favre is loved in Green Bay. He gave them a championship.

That being said, the reality is The Eagles drafted Kolb because of #5’s injuries and they have to protect their franchise. After all it is a business. (Also, I’ve heard that he’s too lax in the huddle, but I can’t substantiate that fact. Just look at how the team responded to Jeff Garcia 2 years ago). The Eagles are going into this year with 2 first round drat picks in 2009. If Donovan is anything less then 110%, if they start out the season with a losing record, Donovan will be benched and Kolb will come in and have to prove that he is the next face of the franchise. If neither of them can get the job done The Eagles are in a position to draft their next QB of the future. Those are the cold hard facts. Remember this is Philly, when the time comes for a change behind center it’s going to make the Farve controversy in Green Bay look like a day in the park. I am a McNabb fan.

Kolb will not be traded in the near future when he was drafted to be the franchise QB. As an Eagle-hater, I do believe that Kolb will become the best QB of his draft class. I saw him play at UH and he looked like the real deal. "McNabb is a great quarterback." McNabb was never a great QB. Good but far from great. Philly blinders have always been on with this guy. He's done nothing that any QB considered 'great' has done. “and wind up trading him like they did AJ Feeley”

The moment he signed that gigantic contract you had to know that he most likely wouldn't be finishing his career in Philly. It's the nature of the business. At the time in his contract when he is due the bulk of the money his skills will diminish...that spells trouble. Moreover, most atheletes tend to be the last to realize that their skills have diminshed. Who didn’t see this coming?

McNabb is a great quarterback. He's not one of the best to ever play the game, at this point in his career, but he is great. However, he can't stay healthy and, to top it off, the feeling in the Philly area is that he's worn out from all of the drama. He's had a turbulant tenure in the NFL. Does he get arrested and do things like Vick, Pac-Man, etc? No, but for some reason he's drawn a lot of negative press, more than Carson Palmer or some of his peers. The fact that he hasn't led the team to a championship may not be all his fault, but he is a piece of the puzzle, and, in the end, it makes Philly fans want more. As a die-hard Eagles fan... I'd support a quarterback change if it gave us a better chance to win. Kolb hasn't shown that to the fans yet, but he has played well. I am a Mcnabb supporter and former McNabb apologist, but I won't cry if he is not an Eagle next year. I agree that McNabb will be goen sooner rather than later. McNabb is a great quarterback.
