So enough of the 'dump McNabb and let Favre mentor Kolb' talk, as it's not going to happen. I see him going to one of the Bay's, and it appears more and more likely by the day that a return to Green Bay is not in the cards. He also wouldn't need to play 'mentor' on Tampa, as the two young guys (not counting Simms) on the roster (McCown and Josh Johnson) are being developed by Gruden. j.

Why? Because he wants Favre to STAY RETIRED. The Iggles have an established starter. I suppose they could always trade McNabb to Minnesota. Childress is McNabb's former "OC." The bottom line is TT doesn't want Favre to play, which is why this trade would make very much sense. TT will trade Favre to a team like Philly for much less than he would trade Favre anywhere else.

In Reid's time the only veteran they banked it all on was T.O., and he was younger and probably better at his position than Favre is (now). In related news, I always laugh when people start bashing McNabb. There are probably three or four better quarterbacks in the NFL, arguably: Manning, Brady, Palmer, and .... The only thing McNabb truly has going against him is his propensity for injuries. Look at the three quarterbacks I mentioned. They all have marquee receivers, and two of them have at two marquee receivers. McNabb currently has the best group of receivers he's ever had, and it's freakin' Curtis, Brown, Avant, and Jackson. At one point, he was throwing to Thrash, Pinkston, and Freddie Mitchell. Maybe Brady could pull off a miracle with those receivers, but McNabb has done damn well for what he's had.

PLEASE!!! i am so sick of people defending brett favre. he had one good year in the past 5 years and that was last year and even then, he threw an INT that lost them the NFC championship. if mcnabb was playing in the NFC championship and he threw that INT, we would never hear the end of it. favre is not a gunslinger, HE IS AN INTERCEPTION PRONE QB who had a great career but he is definitely on the downslide. its idiotic comments from morons like hawkside blitz that 99% of fans are stupid. favre is better than mcnabb…hahaha. not in this decade he isnt. the last thing we need is an over the hill interception prone QB. i love how the media brainwashes these idiots. if favre throws an INT, hes a gunslinger playing his type of game, if mcnabb throws an INT, its because he didnt see the defender.

I'm an Eagles fan, and to think the Eagles are interested in Favre baffles me. Why on earth would you trade anything for a guy who's only going to play one more season, and you have a QB who will probably end up on the market in March? They're supposedly going to go with Kevin Kolb if McNabb is injured again this year, so trading for Favre would only hurt McNabb's trade value. Secondly, you have Lito Sheppard and Brian Westbrook wanting more $$$. Why are you going to strain your salary cap more by paying Favre hefty ransom? Thirdly, how the hell do you think McNabb and Kolb are going to like possibly getting bumped down a spot on the depth chart? Nothing in this story adds up. If the Eagles do want Favre, the only reason behind it would be to sell more tickets. Huh?

McNabb is probably the single most overrated player of the last 10 years. He's a whiner and always hurt. Favre is perfect. Favre has 1-2 years left at most,exactly the amount of time Kolb needs. I don't think the Eagles have enough to be a Super Bowl team but with Favre you are guaranteed a playoff spot which I can't say is the case with McNabb. Dump McNabb,roll with Favre then hand the ball to Kolb in 2010. I think Carolina is the perfect spot for Favre. He could push them to that 13-3 level and its a perfect spot in relation to his home and all of that. Delhomme is nothing. He's Trent Dilfer at best. Just a guy. Tampa Bay would be a decent choice. Atlanta makes sense for a 'coming full circle' sort of deal but that team won't win more than 7 games even with Favre. Phily is kind of a wild card but only if they would dump McNabb w/o hesitation. I think Minnesota is the pick for drama and shock value but Minny is better off sticking with the young guy...TJack needs reps and sitting for 2 years behind Favre would stunt his development. Of course w/ Favre for 2 years Minnesota would be a good bet to at least get to a Super Bowl. Jackson is no bet to do anything. Most of the AFC teams don't make sense...the ones that need help are all either 3 years away from winning or have young developmental QB's in place and would be better just letting them play. If you are Mimai do you want to go 2-14 and get another top 3 pick for your run in 2010 or get Favre and go 5-11? Kolb is still a year away. McNabb is probably the single most overrated player of the last 10 years. He’s a whiner and always hurt.

They lost faith in McNabb after the Super Bowl they lost. That's why they drafted Kolb. So take a shot with Favre this year and next then move on to a very ready Kolb in 2010 or 2011. any draft pick compensation given for Favre can be recouped by trading McNabb to the Bears.
