Rumor: Eagles and Rams Finalizing Trade Involving McNabb

He must be quite the magician to put up the numbers that he does with only 4 good passes per game. :doh:

He hasn't missed a significant amount of games since 2006.

If Philly trades McNabb this is the biggest gamble I can remember in a long long time with a team getting rid of such a franchise player who really means so much to that team over the last decade with all those playoff appearances. Other examples: Farve to me not as much, sense Aaron Rodgers has really stepped up and been a beast the last couple years, Moss leaving the Vikings, they were rebuilding and obviously have done well. Bledsoe leaving the Pats and Brady taking the reigns was a great move. Of course its not all about the QB, and I think Andy Reid is an over acheiving coach and has been awesome for Philly, but I think this is an extremely risky move to lose McNabb at this point. I wouldnt be for it if I was a filthy fan...

I just have to laugh at these Philly fans that are already booting McNabb out the door. They have no clue how lucky they've been to have a top notch QB all these years.

yeah, McNabb has never really gotten the credit he deserves in Philly, probably would if they could've beaten NE in 05 super bowl. I think it's sad to see a player leave after being w/a team all of his 10+ years. Also think Philly is gambling a bit early on this.

Is Kolb a fa after this year? That would certainly put them in a dilemna a make more sense of trading McNabb if that's the case.

If I'm not mistaken, I think this is the last year for all 3 qbs.

ive been scratching my head at all the philly fans hate towards mcnabb. maybe my view on him is different b/c i can remember so many games where he led an inept eagles team to victory over the skins for so many years. compared to our qbs like banks, weurfel, matthews, brunell, etc.

but i do assume they watch their team closer than i and know the little things mcnabb does. i remember watching an eagles game with some eagles fans, they were constanty saying he throws to many into the ground. that day, it did seem like a noticeable bit of his throws were off target or in the ground.

Seriously, they have no idea what it feels like to be searching for a QB for 15 years lol

He's definitely scattershot, but he's got a cannon. Dude can whip the ball down field. But from 5-15 yds away, his inaccuracy can be brutal.

McNabb was a no-show for their "voluntary" workouts yesterday.



I'd love to see him go to Oakland:

i think philly fans just have different expectations. they've been a very very good team for a long time. they're frustrated they arent a great team and, as the face of the franchise, the QB takes the brunt of the criticism. By contrast, we've been putrid for decades. we just want to be respectable again.
