He just got traded to the 'skins!..wow!
Yeah, I think a couple of picks.wow!! they traded within the same division... what did the eagles get in return? draft pick?
I dont feel like what he did here was a job well done. Sure he played amazing against terrible defenses, padded his stats, had 350 yard games. Against good teams he struggled terribly, look at NFC east championship last year...didnt complete a pass until the 3rd quarter. After the ACL surgery he lost a lot of his mobility and was limited to short little scrambles. He cant throw a good slant to save his life, and short passes is what makes the west coast offense. Sure hes got the arm strength but whats the use if you cant complete short passes.McNabb got the job done regardless of the haterade that gets brought up every pre and post season. He had a terrible receiving core and the only time he had a go-to receiver they went to the superbowl.
He didn't want to go to Oakland, and even though Oakland doesn't have a great team, they are decent and better off than the Washingturd Skins.
yea, Mcnabb is a winner, 5 nfc championships, 1 superbowl, in 11 seasons. Paired with shannahan could be something nasty..Philly just made the Skins a contender in the NFC East.
I agree.I dont feel like what he did here was a job well done. Sure he played amazing against terrible defenses, padded his stats, had 350 yard games.

Also lets talk about the intagibles. Guy lives in Arizona, doesnt spend any time with the team until he absolutely has to. He invites 5 guys over to try to build chemistry in the summer....along with DB's from other NFC teams. Donovan has never been a vocal leader, someone who shoulders the blame and carries the team on his back. Teammates dont take him seriously, he clowns the whole time and does stupid $hit (air guitar BS). When have you ever seen him get in his linemen and recievers faces on the sidelines to get them pumped up?? He just stands there waiting for his turn to play, just a spectator. What happened when he got benched against Baltimore?? Instead of taking it like a man and saying "yeah I sucked", he started crying like a bitch and demanded a financial apology from the team (!!!!!!) Im not even gonna talk about the stupid "black quarterback" nonsense bitching.
Most of all, he has never improved. Over the years he has gotten fatter, slower, more relaxed. He built his brand name here in Philly and collected a fat check. Donovan has no fire burning inside. I remember us losing 1 point games to the oh so hated Cowgirls and he goes to share a laugh with the dallas defense as soon as the final whistle blows. F*ck McNabb I guarantee he will get smothered behind the Deadskins non existant offensive line.
idk how someone who wins 65% of the time is overrated...I agree.
McNabb is the most overrated QB in the history of the NFL. Along with the points that have already been made, I would like to point out that fact that he is injury prone.
And everytime he did go down with an injury the back up quaterback(s) played just as good as him if not arguably better (jeff garcia, aj feeley, Koy detmer).
he didn't win 65% of the time, the eagles won. Last time I checked football was a team sport. And if you want to through out percentages Jeff Garcia, Koy Detmer and AJ feeley combined won 73% of the time.idk how someone who wins 65% of the time is overrated...
your kiddin me with koy detmer right? your actually trying to compare koy detmer, and a.j feeley to McNabb... I'm a cowboys fan so i have hated McNabb and the eagles for years now but regardless the Eagles won games with him... im just curious how you can call him overrated... how is he overrated? holds pretty much all of the Eagles passing records, only thing he has not done is won a super bowl.. as AE mentioned there are only 2 QB's with more wins since 2000..he didn't win 65% of the time, the eagles won. Last time I checked football was a team sport. And if you want to through out percentages Jeff Garcia, Koy Detmer and AJ feeley combined won 73% of the time.
As if the NFC EAST wasn't crazy enough as it is. Who knows, we may get 3 teams from the NFC EAST in playoffs this year!Philly just made the Skins a contender in the NFC East.
agreed, im not so big on Roethlisberger though, its debatable on him...I think the Eagles bombed on this move. McNabb is not Montana but he is a pretty damn good QB. The only QB's I'd take ahead of him right now are Brady, Manning, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Schaub, Brees, and Rodgers.
If the Eagles plan to rebuild and start young then I understand but if they're trying to say they improved the team by dumping McNabb then they're full of crap. They should have traded him to non rival.
BTW, if things don't go well for Kolb then they only have Vick as the third option, which is a bad one IMO. They need to get an insurance QB like a Jeff Garcia, Marc Bulger, or Daunte Culpepper just in case.
the backup quarterback was drafted to be the quarterback of the future. everyone is curious to see what Kolb does, but this is the only way to find out. you didnt think Tom Brady coming out of 6th round running a 6 second 40 was gonna win $hit did you? we live here and go to the games, no one is more sick than us Eagles fans of seeing McChoke throw groundballs.Im curious to see what Kolb does. If he blows I am going to laugh at Eagles fans because they begged for sh1t like this for years. Oh well I am partial to the Eagles but wouldnt mind fans getting put in their place.
The back up quarterback is always the fan favorite(or some sh1t like that).
I LOATHE Tom Brady and hope he gets injured in a bad way :smite: . I :fest30: when I heard he got injured. Ok I am much happier after saying that :smirk:the backup quarterback was drafted to be the quarterback of the future. everyone is curious to see what Kolb does, but this is the only way to find out. you didnt think Tom Brady coming out of 6th round running a 6 second 40 was gonna win $hit did you? we live here and go to the games, no one is more sick than us Eagles fans of seeing McChoke throw groundballs.
i dont wish injuries upon anyone.... Except tom brady... cant stand him or the patriots..I LOATHE Tom Brady and hope he gets injured in a bad way :smite: . I :fest30: when I heard he got injured. Ok I am much happier after saying that :smirk:
