Bills will stay with one or both of their guys at QB.

Gints are far from declaring Eli the BUST that he is.

McNabb could do well for a number of other clubs, esp the Vikes.

he would do well in Minnesota..his ex O Cord..same offense..very good RBs..good OL..decent-average WRs. Thats like him in Philly last few years before TO and after. Great RB = Westbrook, good OL..and WRs like Greg Lewis, Freddie Mitchell..and now some better ones in Brown & Curtis

I think McNabb is one of the most overrated players in the NFL.
Watch him play. He is horribly inaccurate throwing the ball more than 8-10 yards downfield. All of his 'numbers' have always been based on a WCO that frees up receivers 2-5 yards downfield and get run after the catch.
He is the QB in the NFL most likely to throw the ball 3 yards on 3rd and 12.
His system allows him to put up some numbers, but the points scored off of those numbers never add up to much.
The Eagles have had some success since McNabb has been there, but the success has had a lot more to do with the defense than the offense, although everyone wanted to give McNabb the credit.

Is he a starting caliber NFL QB? Sure, look at whats out there. Is he a guy you win because of? No way.
A team that is otherwise strong can win with McNabb (but you better have a capable backup) but a medicore team is never going to be a winner because of him.
