If I'm wrong, I'm wrong -- fine, I hope he can light it up again. But I don't think it's out of the question to suggest that Santana Moss' best days are long gone.

He had over 1000 yards two years ago and 902 last year. Those are monster numbers in Zorn's WC.

I think he still has the speed to be effective and Shanny will maximize his ability.

Let's just say, I don't see him running the 5 yard slant several times a game and on 4th and short consistently.

Donovan is now the biggest sports star in DC.

Incorrect. There is no no-trade clause.

That's the only way this move makes sense to me, because while it unarguably makes us better next year, it does not lay the foundation for a legitimate championship run for the immediate future. We still need a QB for that - a legit franchise QB - and McNabb be not he. I find talk of Donovan giving us five or even three productive years wildly optimistic. I put the over/under at two. This is not Brett Favre who played basically his entire career injury free. McNabb is a guy whose career was in free-fall after suffering severe season ending injuries in 06 and 07; a guy whose physical condition has always been a question mark. A guy who will be playing behind a line without a single entrenched starter.

I don't support this move, although I am praying that McNabb forces me to eat a hot steaming plate of crow at some point. I like him fine as a guy, although as an Eagles hater I always enjoyed watching him invariably meltdown in big moments.

Anyway, we'll see....

Agreed. Five years is fantasy-land. Two sounds about right.

Reid and the Eagles are obviously of the 'a year too early versus a year too late' line of thought. Let's hope Kolb bombs for them the way Shuler, Ramsey, and Campbell has for us.

Yeah. People said the same thing about Randy Moss as a raider.

Look, A number one Receiver without a valid number 2 or 3 receiver is pointless. Santana can't do anymore than Randy in Oakland or Steve Smith right now without some other receiver to draw attention. Did you see how the Patriots' passing game slumped after Wes Welker got hurt? That playoff game was sad! Not one of their receivers made 50 yards without Wes spreading the field.

Don't doubt Santana! Put another reciever out there and watch the magic happen!

I think this makes the Skins-Boys a renewed rivalry for sure, and also creates a new tone to the upcoming Eagles-Skins games. But there's no doubt that Eagles-Cowboys has been the premier rivalry in our division in recent years.

Nope it's not a joke yet. Keep drinking and maybe it will turn into one.

Roughly equivalent, but Gradkowski has something called pocket presence to win out that battle. Campbell's special ability? Throw to the tight end.

Thats what I wanted to say. But now I dont know? What in the hell is going on, is this real, or are we just getting mind fucked right now?

[skinsguy]

Well, the facts are, Santana Moss WITH Donovan McNabb equals a great combination. BUT.....all of this is for NOT unless we address the offensive line.

I'm going to create an AE here named JLC's 2nd Chin and chime in from time to time

I have no idea I'm with you on this one! I'm kind of dumbfounded but I guess this means we're drafting offensive linemen in the draft.
