Start McNabb this week (1 Viewer)

[Mystery Achiever]

Thx. Sidewinder. Now I really want to start. him. Even though he's yours now, having him for eleven seasons, I fear, may be clouding my objectivity. Though, I guess that is balanced by my alternative being the current Eagles QB.

This is a major FWIW, but if nothing else, it's worth mentioning.

McNabb's history in opening games has been pretty shocking. Highlights below.

2009: threw two, and ran one TD in just over a half of work, before leaving the game.

2008: 361 and 3.

2006: 314 and 3.

2004: 330 and 4.

2002: 212 yards and 3.

2001: 312 and 2.

That said, I'm still very nervous. My breakdown of McNabb's week one prospects are here:

They are pretty shocking when you remove the ones that aren't so shocking.

I see both offenses struggling. A 17-14 game would not surprise me. There are some bad o-line matchups on both sides. Expect this to be an ugly game.

Ridge nailed it.Especially a rookie LT going against Ware.I wouldn't expect big numbers from either QB.

 

[thehornet]

get him in your lineup while you can.

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Who do you envision winning these matchups?Ware vs Rookie LT Trent WilliamsSpencer vs Jamal Brown (who hasnt played in a long time)Ratliff vs C. RabachM. Jenkins vs J Galloway

Do you have a point with this?

 

[twheeler]

McNabb WAS a top 10 QB. Those days are long gone. He cant stay healthy.

No doubt about it. The last time he was among the top-10 scorers in one standard-scoring league I checked was ... 2009. And that was with 2 games missed (where you could start your backup, and add to the season total). Washed up, I say.

 

[Sebowski]

Couple points:

Skeletor likes to run

McNabb still building rapport with his receivers



Wait...did I say receivers? Who are they again?

Dallas pass rush will trample an OL that is still learning the finer points of the new system.

115 yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs, 39.4 QB rating

Ring a bell?

 

[Nightly Mistake]

In addition to coach and player quotes, I've heard or read no reports indicating that McNabb is limping or anything. It's been about three weeks since he sprained his ankle. I'm assuming he's fine.

Thanks for complicating things for me. (Ironically my other QB is Kolb) Does a high ankle sprain really heal that quickly?

I'm in the same boat, and I don't like Kolb's matchup against GB.

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

I have McNabb and Stafford. I am starting Stafford. He throws for 3 TDs this week.

Same decision here. I don't know about 3 TDs as I think - perhaps strangely - that Stafford is the "safe" pick while McNabb is the possible home run (or dud) this week.

 

[dmac37]

I think McNabb will be fine and get his as the year goes on, receivers in Philly were just as bad but I'm a little gun shy week 1 with the injury and very little work in the new system.

So I'm starting Young over McNabb

you still have time. mcnabb is gonna smash on cowgirls tomorrow.

 

[Manster]

you still have time. mcnabb is gonna smash on cowgirls tomorrow.

ok, your opinion is thrown out on the basis that anytime someone refers to the Cowboys as the "cowgirls", you are just hatin, and dont really have any real insight.

 

[fatness]

hes not on the eagles anymore bud the redskins dont throw literally 65% of the time

Don't be surprised if the Redskins throw that much tonight.

of course i have no more insight, i am waiting for the game now and am anxious for the McNabb to make my prediction come true. dont be insulted that i called your team cowgirls. its no big deal and at this point Im just bumping the thread.

[dhockster]

He still did better than Kolb did for me.

 

[CaptainHook]

Lmao

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Easy to point and laugh, but I appreciate hornet calling his shot

 

[CaptainHook]

it could have been a good thread if he had actually laid out some reasons why mcnabb would surprise everyone with such a day.

unfortunately it was just a ridiculous and silly opinion with absolutely nothing to back it up and now he looks bad.

threads like this should not be encouraged.

 

[thehornet]

took a shot and stuck up for old mcnabb. next week buddy!!!
