Big difference between "this year" and "maybe a question next year." You need to get these facts straight before you post. Right now there is a lot more wrong with PHI than Donovan McNabb IMO; OL is not very good and defense is not very good.
Yeah, he's an idiot who knows nothing about football.
Yeah, he's really renowned for going out of his way to compliment backups, particularly backups to stars.

Not to worry. It's all good.Chris try not to let him get to you theres just a large number of tools in the shark pool during the seasonYeah, he's really renowned for going out of his way to compliment backups, particularly backups to stars.
Andy Reid is as stubborn as it gets. I know he wants to be right about this kid being McNabb's eventual replacement. If the Eagles are Officially eliminated from the playoffs....I could see McNabb (who is still not 100% and likely won't be till next season) sitting the last few games to take a look at this kid.
We demand the best. Too many seasons of mediocrity and no championships around here. Bring us the prize, or get out!!!
I forget, how many Superbowls have the Eagles won? Might want to win that first one before you make it Superbowl or bust.
Those consistent NFC East titles and playoff trips getting old?? Just how good do you think your Eagles are going to do with Kolb? Go ahead and can Andy Reid, he's done more with less talent on that team than a lot of other Head Coaches would have been able to do. It's not like the Eagles have a history of spending big time money, the Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins owe the Eagle fans a huge debt of gratitude if McNabb and Reid leave this year.
The Vikings, Panthers, Jaguars, Ravens, Bears and probably some other teams, must be waiting with their fingers crossed.
come back to sweet home chicago mcnabb
Does Reid really have GM power? I'm not familiar with the team enough to know. My first thought is to blame it on the owner/president/GM for not bringing in that type of personnel, unless he gets to pick and choose who he wants.It must be nice to complain about JUST getting to the playoffs & championship game. What I wouldn't give to see the Bills there year after year. It could be worse fella
Tom Heckert is the GM in title, but Andy does have the final say on all personnel decisions. I know it must sound bad to be complaining, when there are tons of teams who are terrible year after year, and would trade place with the Eagles in a second....and those were all fun years, that I wouldn't trade them for anything, but it doesn't change the fact that we want a championship. We want to win it all, and how many more years should Reid have to get it done,
I guess I understand where you're coming from. Most teams have so many years of success before they fall backwards and go through a rebuilding period for several years. If you don't win it during that time span the wait is much longer.
While I agree Reid is enormous - and looks terrible right now, the man has had probably the worst year of his life. The fact he has soldiered through his sons' ordeals and remained as dedicated to his team as he has is commendable (and perhaps stubbornly prideful).Give Andy a pass on the gut in 2007. It does need some work though or he isn't gonna lead a long life.
I thought Reid was the huge Kolb fan. If Reid moves on wouldn't the new HC prefer the stability of the former pro-bowl QB rather than live through the growing pains of somebody elses project?
McNabb's play has been ugly for 80% of the season.... all the guy does is dump it off to Westbrook... even when there down by 20pts. Then; when he finally does throw it for 10+ yds.... its picked.Reid should take the rest of the season off; take care of family business... mean while, Philly should deal McNabb in the off-season and Reid gets a fresh start in 2008.
Now hold on, McNabb hasn't finished a season healthy in how many years? It is true that the franchise hasn't done anything to help him of late in the WR department and LJ Smith has been hurt, but McNabb has lost a lot of value since he can't run anymore. LBs used to have to shadow him now they can drop back into coverage because they know he can't go anywhere.I don't think its time to put him out to pasture, but I question his ability to be effective this season. Perhaps next year he'll be back to his old self, but from the franchise's perspective that is a very expensive perhaps.If McNabb is still hurt and God knows they are out of playoff contention (unless Garcia comes back) then it wouldn't be a bad idea to give Kolb some reps and let Don get well.
The Panthers will have Delhomme back next season so I doubt they would want to spend money on trying to get McNabb. Delhomme will be 33 next year, and I would think they would want a younger quarterback than McNabb to eventually take over for Delhomme.
He didn't compair anything. But yes, Madden knows his X's and O's, but I would say he inflates a lot of players.Madden compaired Dallas trying to score up by 25 points at the start of 4th to what NE did last week.
He was kidding.Madden compaired Dallas trying to score up by 25 points at the start of 4th to what NE did last week.
If you listened, he actually contrasted it.Madden compaired Dallas trying to score up by 25 points at the start of 4th to what NE did last week.
He said something to the effect: "Now people may try to compare this to New England but I don't have a problem with a team coming out firing at the beginning of the fourth quarter with a big lead. I've always felt you wait until there about 8 minutes left in the game before you think about letting up."It sounded to me like he was arguing that Dallas was not running up the score like NE had been accused of.Madden compaired Dallas trying to score up by 25 points at the start of 4th to what NE did last week.
