OT: McNabb to Skins

[Patspsycho]

Re: McNabb to Skins

Has Kolb actually played in a meaningful game (not preseason), if so how did he do? Evidently the Eagles feel they have the next TB, but I can't for the life of me recall seeing ANY highlights of Kolb.

Gave us a good scare in '07.

Maybe I should have used "Fat" instead of "Old". Damn it, I blew it.

Re the Redskins: I could not care less about a team. I lived in DC for 5 years and couldn't stand them then, but now it's turned into complete indifference.

I would have gone with McPuke

 

[ctpatsfan77]

McNabb really seemed to have a great bond between him and a rising star in this league ... DeSean Jackson

Kolb will be hard pressed to duplicate the sync that Donovan and Jackson developed from DeSean's rookie year and onward.

I can guarantee you that Mr.Jackson is not a very happy man right now.

Could he be as disgruntled as Marshall was when Cutler was traded?,not likely because Marshall is a crybaby, but it will slow Jackson's progression to be an Elite player a bit ,I believe.

They only got a 2 and a 2011 4 for McNabb. Maybe they'd settle for a 2011 2 for Jackson?

So did Kyle Boller...but he can't even beat out Bulger as Rams QB now

I thought it was either a 3rd or 4th in 2011 with some kind of clause involved to which round it would actually be....correct?

Something like that.

I was going for dramatic effect, though.

Re: McNabb to Skins

That was AJ Feeley, I believe. That game was also the beginning of the end of the aura of invincibility. And after the narrowest of escapes at Baltimore the following week, not only did well-coached, physical teams no longer fear us, they couldn't wait to get a piece of us.

But I digress. As for McPuke, it would've been nice if Reid could've received more in return for him (I'm surprised that Arizona didn't offer their 1st-rounder, even-up), but the bottom line remains the same: McPuke is a choke artist (literally) who will never, ever lead his team to a championship unless he has a league-leading defense + a league-leading running game to carry his sensitive ass.

Will McPuke help make the Skins a better team this year? Probably.
Will he make them a PO team? Maybe.
Will this season end for him the same way every other season has ended for him? Book it.

Many of you folks underestimate the Philly football fans. Like those of us in NE, they can sniff-out a phony, and that's what McPuke was (is): a phony championship-level QB, a passive-aggressive who's always felt that Eagles fans owed him their unquestioned adulation to make up for the rude reception he was given on Draft Day 1999. They share another noble trait with us, too: they absolutely despise New York teams. Remember: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I can't help but think of Bledsoe to the Bills - that's quite a statement when you trade your "franchise" QB to a division rival. In other words, you're not afraid of what he can do to you.

The difference is that Bledsoe's job clearly belonged to someone else by the time he was traded, whereas in Philly you have Kolb and Vick, neither of whom have proven they're up for the job.

Pssshhaw. Philly fans hate everyone including themselves.

 

[Kontradiction]

You know he will never say it publicly, but I bet McNabb is happy as hell to get out of Philly.

I bet he'll take a shot at the city in an ESPN interview before the offseason is over.

That was A.J. Feeley.

 

[Nonentity]

Tim Tebow 1st round pick of the Raiders

If that happens the fans will run Crazy Al out of town!

If he gets drafted by the Raiders, I think Tebow renounces Christianity.


"Clearly there can be no god."

Jason Campbell to the Bills anyone?

Jason Campbell to the Bills anyone?

That would be an excellent move for the Bills.

Re: McNabb to Skins

I didn't care where McNabb went as long as it wasn't to the Raiders. But i still can't believe that the Eagles would trade him within the division. Either they think he's done and wasn't a real threat to them or they just wanted to get rid of him.

Yeah, the intra-Division move was a shocker to me as well.

I don't think we can discount the fact that Laurie is a class guy who didn't want to send Donovan to Oakland, which really wanted him but where he would have ended his career in the middle of a train wreck, but instead sent him to Washington, where McNabb wanted to go. Plus, I think they have sincerely concluded that he has played his best football and is not a serious threat anymore.

Re: McNabb to Skins

Personally I would love to see McNabb hand Philly their a** this year.

Agreed....

you almost had me there...

Re: McNabb to Skins

Crazy Al will be pulling out all the stops to land Campbell now.

Yeah, and he might be good for a win or two, but nothing like McNabb who might have lifted the whole franchise for a couple of seasons.

Are you saying then that Belichick and Kraft had no class in sending Seymour to the dead zone known as Oakland?

Re: McNabb to Skins

Reid is treading in some dangerous waters. The fans in Philly will be holding their torches, and pitchforks in hand by week 3. He is in a no win situation, as far as this year is concerned.

I'd give the philly phans a little more credit than that. I think they know Kolb will need the better part of a season to get his legs under him. But, yeah, come December and they're looking 8--8 and out of the Playoffs, I think they'll make some noise.

Either way, IMHO, Reid and Kolb have two years to show that they can get back to the NFCCG or they are both probably gone.
