Dear Mr. McNabb (1 Viewer)

[KellysHeroes]

I had it out for you just a few weeks ago. I was wrong on many accounts:

- You are still mobile

- You can make some pretty good decisions out there

- You are throwing with decent accuracy and great zip

- Your receivers aren't getting open

- Philly is being hard on you

- You + Westbrook + some new players can open this team's window up again for a championship

Stay classy, healthy, and hopefully not chunky. Also get Philly to bring in CJ, Moss or Walker. TIA.

I'm glad that the guy proved all the doubters wrong and he'll most likely finish the season, beating the Boyz is just a little icing on the cake... but as a pocket passer; he is terrible. The guy may throw w/ some accuracy, but half those balls are at his WRs knees; drives me nutz. McNabb needs to get out of Philly... and since it will be 2 yrs removed from his injury, he will do much better next season.

 

[Stillers Jr.]

I hate the Iggles and despise (most) of their fans...but if they let McNubb go, it will be a titanic mistake.

Andy Reid on the other hand, not a fan of his play calling....

In summary:

McNabb = Best chance of winning

Reid = Stubborn, pompous, middle-of-the-road coach

In Philly if you produce they love you

Yeah, because they treated <arguably> the greatest 3rd baseman ever with such love that he felt compelled to take the field with a disguise.

Mikey was booed because of one reason...The guy hit over 500 home runs and maybe 10-20 of them where in the clutch. The guy would come up lame in every big spot I can remember. Sorta sounds like some schlub that plays for the Yankees now.

...or the Eagles...

This is a great example of why the average should not use their own bias to form opinions. This is so wrong I could start a separate thread on it. 1) learn about clutch ability and whether it is real or not 2) how about being a great defensemen - 10 Gold Gloves 3) when your lifetime OBP is .380 and your lifetime slug is .527 you are helping your team a lot, no matter when you hit or get on baseBTW, I am not a fan Mike Schmidt, but if you think he should be booed then you need to buy a clue.

 

[moleculo]

Yeah, and the Denver fans didnt want Plummer run out of town. Keep it real, Donnie Mac isnt a 2 year starter with untapped potential like Cutler. Donnie Mac has been in the league for 9 years and it looks like his best days are gone.

Yes, some Denver fans wanted Plummer run out of town despite three good seasons to start his Denver career. They were wrong, too. But that's a completely different situation, too- Plummer was a good QB, but McNabb is a GREAT QB. Even comparing the situations highlights the lack of respect that McNabb receives.

I understand what you are saying, I personally never thought Donnie Mac was a great QB because I thought he was just too inconsistant, but that could be argued. I have always believed he was a very good QB, but the injuries are taking a toll on him now, and for the last 2 years he has been down right awful. Granted this year hasnt been alll his fault, the offensive line has been very suspect this year, but he really looks like a player on the fast decline too me. I think a change to another team might do him good. I dont understand the lack of respect. Great QB's are HOFer's which the current qb's playing would be Favre, Manning and Brady. I do not believe Donnie Mac is great or a HOFer. if he was great for 9 years maybe, but having 2 great years doesnt make you great. So if you see that as a lack of respect for Donnie Mac so be it.

huh? He was downright awful last year? IIRC, he was the #1 FF QB prior to his injury. He is down some this year, but you are not hanging that on DMc, so I really don't understand the basis of claiming "downright awful".How quickly we have forgotten DMc's first half of 2006...

My bad, I should have stated 2 of the last 3 years, because prior to last year he was not playing too well before deciding on the surgery for the sports hernia where he lost 5 out of the last 6 games he played. This year his play has been average at best. My point being he is on the decline. A change to another team might do him good, but with each week he is looking more and like McNair.

Look at who he is throwing to. If the Eagles would get him some good WRs not only would McNabb start performing better, the organization could start grooming their next QB. It's laughable for Eagle fans to think that the Eagles would be better with Kolb, or Feely. McNabb and Westbrook are all that has kept your Eagles from completely sucking the past few years.

Gee ya think the offensive line may have a little hand in their success? How about the defensive backfield? Seriously do you even watch this team play?

The way the Philly fans have treated him is shameful.

Anyone expect anything else out of the fair-weather fans in Philly ? Not I said the cat ...

Makes one wonder why his most successful year was with TO, who happens to be the only real legit WR he's ever had in Philly. Two and two does equal four, huh? Hmmm...it's elementary my dear Watson, elementary in deed.

I have watched them play. And I'm wondering how much you watch them if you think they would have been as dominant in the NFC East without McNabb and Westbrook. Has the Offensive line, and their pretty stout defense helped? Absolutly, but the two reasons they have been good has been because of McNabb and Westbrook.

[Jason Wood]

It's pretty clear that the ball is in McNabb's court. Reid is clearly planning on returning in 2008 (take a gander at his comments in Philadelphia magazine) and, since he runs football operations, it would be shocking if he didn't want McNabb to return. The issue will come down to one of three scenarios:

*** The team asks McNabb to "re-work" his contract and he uses that as an affront to demand a trade or release

*** McNabb makes it clear to Reid that he would prefer a new home and they work diligently to facilitate that

*** McNabb genuinely wants to return and finish his career in Philly; agrees to a re-worked deal and we're back to the status quo in 2008

 

[Balco]

It will be a huge mistake if Philly lets McNabb walk.

And for those on teams who think he can be had at a discount, think again. he is going to command a lot of money on the market.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if they shopped McNabb. His last 25 games played the Eagles are 11-16. Granted the losses are not all of McNabb's fault and it is true he has played very well in years past, but in reality his play is slipping and the eagles are getting old at some other key positions. Rebuilding to me is more of a reality as opposed to bringing in a few people like years past and trying to get over the hump. The majority of the teams in the NFL stink this year, and still D. McNabb and the Eagles have struggled. The eagles and Donovan McNabb had a good run, but face the facts it is over. Turn the keys over to Kolb and lets see if he can be something in future.

Makes sense Woodrow. I'm guessing that Laurie first has to decide if he wants Andy Reid back. Either way I don't see the final option you listed playing out.

Yes, and if you look above I again say that behind that good Oline, and that pretty stout defense, the Eagles would not have been half as good with out McNabb and Westbrook. They are what makes the Eagles go. I hope McNabb ends up somewhere else next year. Not only will my Redskins not have to face him twice a year, but maybe then Eagle fans might start to realize that it's the lack of WR talent that is hurting the team. Not McNabb. As a whole Eagle fans view is way to narrow, and short-sighted. The window was open for a Super Bowl for the Eagles, it's closed now, and it's not McNabb's fault. It's the front office staying $20 millionish under the cap.

In Philly if you produce they love you

Mikey was booed because of one reason...The guy hit over 500 home runs and maybe 10-20 of them where in the clutch. The guy would come up lame in every big spot I can remember. Sorta sounds like some schlub that plays for the Yankees now.

This is a great example of why the average should not use their own bias to form opinions.

I dont think MS was ever booed for his defense so dont bring some weak crap like that.Did you ever watch a phillies game ??? Do you think Mike got booed because he hit home runs in clutch situations?? I would like to know why YOU think he was being booed, was he too good ?? Did he hit too many home runs?? C'mon we know the answer.

MS is a family friend and let me tell you one thing, the guy is one of the biggest A-holes in the world. The Philly fans knew it and when time after time he would strike out at the plate when the Phillies needed a run to WIN (who cares about slugging %, doesnt mean crap as far as when runs are needed to WIN the game) he would come up short. He wasnt as bad as Pat Burrell and his trash time home runs but I really doubt anyone would call the guy a great clutch home run hitter even though he was a great home run hitter. See there is a difference that that matters to Phillie fans, just like it does to Yankee Fans. Do I need to bring up his Post Season stats??

Guess I do since you know so much about MS - 36 Post Season Games Played - 4 Home Runs -- 4!!! with 16 RBI's -- WOW, can't imagine why he would get booed.

As I said before, if an athlete in Philly shows that he can come through with A-B grade production they will not sit there and be pleased with C-D production. Its that simple. When a player sets the bar at a certain level they are expected to meet that level and if they do not, the fans will let them hear about it.

The next time McNabb throws an easy pass into the dirt or takes an unnecessary sack I guess every one should cheer, give me a break. These guys are big boys, grow up and take some medicine. Problem is that professional athletes from the time they are in JR High School have their butts kissed so much that they really have no idea how to handle criticism.

That point of view makes sense to me. As an outsider, I think the Eagles have the talent to make a one more run. But without McNabb, not so much.Rebuilding wouldn't be a horrible idea, as some key players are getting older. So if that is the case, and Reid really believes Kolb can be the guy of the future, then the Eagles should say goodbye to McNabb and let Kolb learn on the field next season.

 

[Colt Of Personality]

Wow... some of you non-Eagles fans really have NO clue on McNabb. He may be the best chance at winning now, but his skills are CLEARLY on the downside. Injuries aside, if the team was close to competing (which I think they are not) I would say give it another run, but there is really no way to make this assumption until we see what they do in free agency, draft, etc. The team in it's present state is lacking.

I won't be heartbroken if he leaves because if we get ANYTHING decent in return, I think it would be a good move. Like I said before, he's a bit of an enigma and his skills are surely diminishing. And I pin the excuse on "lack of WR's" on Andy Reid. It affects McNabb because as I said in an earlier post, he seems to lack confidence in the passing game, which results in his skipping balls. He doesn't want to risk the INT's. He never looked so good the year we had TO.

I hope he leaves and wins a ring for his new team. The way the Philly fans have treated him is shameful.

Give me a break, I wish you would give some examples on how the shameful eagles fans have treated McNabb. Every QB in the league is under some kind of criticism. Donnie Mac has been awful this year, and if I remember the Eagles only scored 10 points yesterday. Donnie Mac brings alot of it on himself. He has never really embraced Philadelphia and he is always looking for excuses for his failures. His time has past, he just isnt that good.

LMAO, you make this easy! How about when the Philly fans Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo'd him when they announced his name for their draft pick. Thank you, move on...nothing to see here.

You're kidding right? You mean to tell me 30 Philly fans where the Radio station putting together this group were looking for individuals who only wanted Ricky Williams, is the reason you think all Philly fans hate McNabb? The "dirty 30" as they were called were just a bunch of drunk idiots. There are alot of idiot fans in Philly who allow their emotions to rule their minds. There are also a number of people who know football, understand the game and allow the players abilities dictate their opinions on how they play.

Lets not forget that Philly is not the only city with a bunch of idiots for fans.

With that said, McNabb will never bring a championship to Philly, period. If he couldnt do it with that '04 team, he wont do it with any other Eagles team in the foreseeable future.

This has nothing to do with McNabb and everything to do with the Eagles top brass! If anything '04 proved that with a top quality WR the Eagles O played better. The Eagles will not make the playoffs for the following reasons:(In no particular order)1. The Eagles Talent Management team are not strong in their evaluations of WR's. They have not drafted a good WR since Reid and team have come on board.2. The LB position is a low priority for Eagles Management and they continue to go bottom basement shopping for LB's. 3. Additionally, the Eagles Talent Management Team is even more inept at discerning talent at the LB position through the draft. 4. Brian Dawkins has lost a step and is certainly on the decline. They don't have a viable backup and Considine is not a starting S himself. Now the Eagles have 2 S's to plan on replacing.5. For whatever reason, Andy Reid and his team do not draft players to make an impact the year they are drafted. This hurts the team tremendously when you don't have the studs you did when you first started this practice.6. It seems Reid has trouble adjusting his over all plan even when it's neededa. His wins many more games when his % of run/pass is closer to 50/50 then his propensity to throw 60% ore more of the time. We all see this but Reid is stubborn and won't change his philosophy. If he had the studs on O this may not be a big deal but when his playmaker is the RB he should adjust his plan and map his gameplan around the players he has.b. LB and WR has been a weakness on this team and he has yet to really go after improving these positions.So before anyone claims McNabb is the reason why we won't win a Superbowl lets correct all of the above and then let's see if McNabb is the reason. Because in my mind the above is the reason we won't win a Superbowl.

Dear Mr. McNabb,

Please feel free to start sucking again.

Signed,

A guy who's playing against you in the Superbowl.

When was the last time a QB brought a championship to Philly?

Wow... some of you non-Eagles fans really have NO clue on McNabb. He may be the best chance at winning now, but his skills are CLEARLY on the downside. Injuries aside, if the team was close to competing (which I think they are not) I would say give it another run, but there is really no way to make this assumption until we see what they do in free agency, draft, etc. The team in it's present state is lacking.I won't be heartbroken if he leaves because if we get ANYTHING decent in return, I think it would be a good move. Like I said before, he's a bit of an enigma and his skills are surely diminishing. And I pin the excuse on "lack of WR's" on Andy Reid. It affects McNabb because as I said in an earlier post, he seems to lack confidence in the passing game, which results in his skipping balls. He doesn't want to risk the INT's. He never looked so good the year we had TO.

So it's better to put Feely in? If you get rid of him who should they play? Are you just going to hope they can find a QB who is any good? Kolb may be a servicable guy, but certainly not right away.

If you can get a good value for a QB with diminishing skills, by all means do it. Sign a veteran QB like Garcia (which they did before) and get Kolb reps. Yes, I think this is the way to go.
