McNabb - What to do with him (1 Viewer)

[TheLastDispatch]

McNabb is not who I'm worried about. It's his WR's who can't get open or seperate in bump and run coverage. Teams are going to play that a lot on them and blitz McNabb if they watched the first two games. None of his WR's are fast, not even Curtis is that fast. None are particularly quick either. They need to run them in motion or something to get them open quickly and away from aggressive corners. They showed it several times last night that they were just not open!

Disagree that it's his WRs fault. They haven't been Marvin Harrison, but they've done their job well enough that if McNabb could put the ball somewhere other than their feet the Eagles wouldn't be 0-2 right now.McNabb's always had issues with accuracy to some extent, but this year it's really come out. So many of his passes are at his WRs feet. Or, as was the case in the end of the Redskins game, he overthrows them. Curtis was wide open for a sure TD and McNabb just overthrew him.

McNabb's struggles may be partly psychological as one poster pointed out.

Maybe his mechanics are out of tune because his leg feels different.

Maybe his receivers aren't seperating enough.

IMO it's likely a combination of factors at play.

I've had McNabb in a keeper from year one, and bottom line to me is that this doesn't look like a small issue.

Even if Detroit is a tasty match-up, I can't imagine McNabb lighting up anyone this weekend.

He's going to my bench until I see differently. Meanwhile, I'll consider whether I should pursue trading him.

My plan right now is play him against Detroit and NYG and hope he has big games...then sell him fast.

A a QB can "get well" quickly against those 2 teams. Personally he just looks rusty and hobbling to me. Last week he had few receivers open deep and had to dump off a lot of passes due to the defense. As an NFL fan I'd give him half a season to see how he looks before deciding if he's definitely "back" or "declining". For fantasy ball I'd start someone else until he looks better.

Good idea.

Is he a sell high after this weekend?

Or is the McNabb of old back?

He had a great preseason, so it isn't like the "old" McNabb has been gone long--just two days. I wouldn't sell him cheaply. This is what he can do on a pretty regular basis.

Hopefully this game kicks start a string of good games! Let's go McNabb. All aboard
