But I'll say this... No different then other teams and fans saying that if JC was worth anything we'd be keeping him, If McNabb was worth anything the Eagles would be keeping him. I know players get traded for all sorts of reasons, but he's not dragging the team down character wise or breaking the law or using drugs. No team in their right mind would give up a franchise QB unless there is something wrong with him, he's lost his step, or he can't run the offense anymore. I'm telling you we are not getting the franchise QB everyone is hoping for.
In defense of the move Shanahan took on a Denver team with a 34 y/o Elway and went to the SB. McNabb is only 33. So maybe Shanahan can get more out of McNabb as he did with Elway and get the job done.
But I'll still hold out hope that there is a trade in the works behind the scene's so we can aquire a young QB for our future.

The trade was made more because of how the Eagles feel about Kolb than how they feel about McNabb. They feel Kolb is ready to take over, plus DM is on the last year of his deal, might as well get something for him now rather than letting him walk next year.
