Gugny Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/201001...is_way_out.html Looks like Donovan could be done in Philly after this year. He's a Syracuse alumn. He's a bad weather player. And he's still got some gas in the tank. Westbrook will most-likely retire after this year. Why not give them Marshawn Lynch and whatever the hell else they want, in order to get McNabb here? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I've liked McNabb, but his clock may be striking midnight very soon. I mean, if we got him for Marshawn Lynch, straight-up, I"d happily take the deal and let McNabb start for 2-3 seasons while we built a line a drafted a replacement. If the Eagles decide to hand the ship to Kolb and cut McNabb, I'd eagerly sign him up. But if we're talking first-day picks, I think we should pass.

He is not leaving Philly as long as Reid is there and Reid signed a new 3 year deal.

Gugny Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 McNabb just signed an extension. He is not leaving Philly as long as Reid is there and Reid signed a new 3 year deal. (Well, McNabb won't play forever but you know what I mean) On the surface, that would appear to be accurate. But this part of the embedded article makes me wonder ... and hope ... "The answer here is not obvious until you look at the contract. McNabb has trade value only as long as he is under contract - which means you trade him now or you have to extend him for X-number of years after the season, with a new signing bonus and plenty of color and pageantry (and a likely one-way ticket out the door for Kevin Kolb, whom you have previously identified as your future)."

dwight in philly Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 the fans in philly are as fickle as they come. if you win, they want to erect a statue to you, you lose next week, its essentially "get out of town!", lots here in philly are secretly hoping the eagles lose so they will in fact, dump mccnab. being a lifelong buffalo guy who just moved here, cannot figure these people out.. but i would love to see mccnab in buffalo...

Living in the area as well, I mostly agree. Except that I think overall, Philly fans have wanted McNabb gone for awhile. All my friends as Eagles fans and I'd say 4/5 don't like him. He has several warts, worst being his "big game" ineptitude, but I think he is treated way too harshly in this town. I tell any Eagles fan that will listen, when you get a good QB, you sink your hooks into him. We've been trying to replace our last one for 14 years.

BuffaloBaumer Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I suggested McNabb last week and think it should DEFINITELY be something they try very hard to do. Throw Lynch over there with a draft pick, draft a QB in the second round, hire a top notch coach and bam..voila! It's easy right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 They were talking about this on the sports radio station here in ATL this morning. One of the hosts is a Philly guy and he was saying that the Eagles are so high on Kevin Kolb that if the Eagles go one-and-done in the playoffs this season (which is very likely given last week's disaster), there's a very good chance Donovan will be playing somewhere else next year.

And that was just the beginning of a 14-year abusive relationship. If you ask me, the guy's a first ballot hall of famer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 when I hear people (idiot fans) B word and cry about McNabb... I always provide the response: "Id take him on the Bills any day of the week". All the guy does is win. He is tough and leaves blood on the field... a real competitor and leader.

Since his first game I have followed the guys career. I grew up watching him as an Orangemen, and nothing would please me more than following the end of his career with a SB title and hugging Bill Cowher on the podium!

muffmonster Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I am all for McNabb. Even if we get 1 or 2 decent years out of him to develop Brohm and whoever we draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The significance of him playing in Syracuse is the close proximity to Orchard Park. He proved he can play in bad weather by playing in Philadelphia for 14 years. And yes ... bring him in!

May Day 10 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Philly has to play in its share of cruddy weather. McNabb is also from Chicago I believe. The guy is a warrior and weather has never been a factor for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I'm hoping for opposite, make Wade look good enough to keep and McNabb bad enough to trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 If the Bills get McNabb I would crap my pants and after I took a shower I would find the money for season tickets somehow. Philly never did embrace McNabb which is a shame because all he does is take the team to the playoffs damn near every year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
