Trying to get a gauge of how McNabb will fare this season. Do you think he's worth the risk?
I couldn't disagree more on every point. Any player is susceptible to the same type of injuries McNabb has experienced. He's as tough as they come, finishing one game with a broken foot. Unless it's a major injury, he's playing...For point 2, he has plenty of receiving options - Brian Westbrook, Kevin Curtis (looked excellent during camp), Reggie Brown and LJ Smith (will start on opening day).On #3, I have no idea where you came up with this one - if anything, the team will throw more than it has in the past. Reid is definitely a "throw 1st" coach and has to constantly temper his desire to throw pretty much every single snap of the ball. McNabb looks like he'll be back this year - your mistake (and someone else's gain) for passing him up...He should be on everyone's do not draft list:1) He can't stay healthy2) He's got nobody to throw to3) Eagles have three pretty good RB's and will be running a LOT more this year
who'd he have to throw to last year? Yet as a team they still threw for over 4000 yards.He should be on everyone's do not draft list:1) He can't stay healthy2) He's got nobody to throw to3) Eagles have three pretty good RB's and will be running a LOT more this year
wow - you think McNabb will be benched due to ineffectiveness?He will miss the last 2 games of the post-season. Won't be due to injury just that is as far as he and Westbrook will be able to carry the team.
No, I expect the team to be eliminated from the playoffs.wow - you think McNabb will be benched due to ineffectiveness?He will miss the last 2 games of the post-season. Won't be due to injury just that is as far as he and Westbrook will be able to carry the team.
I think they should change the test forfrom '.fishing: to :HK:.

Over the last couple of years he's been the #1 QB on a points per game basis. Yeah, you can argue injuries sure. But "do not draft"? That's laughable.For the record I voted "none".He should be on everyone's do not draft list:1) He can't stay healthy2) He's got nobody to throw to3) Eagles have three pretty good RB's and will be running a LOT more this year
Or those votes are from people that already realized that he has had several flukey injuries, and therefore picked him up as the 8th or 9th QB off the board.High percentage of "None" votes probably due to vote skew. McNabb owners more likely to have wishful thinking and have interest in the thread/vote. 6 games out is a lock, IMO.
Are you ever right about anything?Last years injury was a freak injury.He should be on everyone's do not draft list:1) He can't stay healthy2) He's got nobody to throw to3) Eagles have three pretty good RB's and will be running a LOT more this year

last years #1 QB in terms of ppg?call him glass, that's fine and a defendable position; arguing he does not have skills and is not a premeir QB (even w/o TO) when healthy is flat out wrong.McNabb is tough?I couldn't disagree more on every point.

McNabb looks like he'll be back this year - your mistake (and someone else's gain) for passing him up...really??...hmm..maybe thats why he's failed to complete a full 16-game schedule, 3 times out of the past 5 years?!? every single injury McNabb has had, has been 'major'. Sans T.o. , Mcnabb is really just an avg QB..he's also a flake.
he has not been the same Qb since taking that shot to the head in the SB..outside of the T.O. season, he's thrown for 21 or more TD's only twice in a season. His lifetime comp % is at 58.2%. yawn.
Now, his biggest weapon , his legs, have abandoned him, he is no longer the running threat he used to be, and he's not a particularly good pocket passer..
the guy is a piece of glass..he's on the wrong side of 30. Obviously,the Eagles felt it important enough to take Kolb in round two, because of the inconsistencies in McNabb's ability to play every week..
you can use all the bravado terms you wish in regards to McNabb,the fact is, the guy cannot play a full 16 game schedule,
he's always nicked up, and without T.O., he's an Average Joe QB.
oh, and did I mention he's a flake?
