tennesseeboy Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/367207-...-for-the-eagles If the Eagles are looking for a defensive end, and if Schobel is reluctant to move into a linebacker spot, is this an approach that might work? It would be nice to get him to go somewhere if he doesn't fit into the new defense but wants to play in a 4-3 defense. The phil. eagles were apparently quite interested in Kampman who went to the Jags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskik11 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yes, without question. I am so frickin tired of losing and this losing organization it isn't funny. WELL SAID! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I agree. I like McNabb, but if McNabb can't win in Philadelphia which has a good amount of talent, what makes anyone think he'll win in Buffalo? There are too many holes to be wasting picks on a QB past his prime. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Bills or give it up for him. Never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Dude, why would the Eagles make that trade? Schobel has never played anything other than RDE... same position Trent Cole plays for the Eagles. They are not going to pay $5m + for a backup, let a lone a backup that is looking for concessions in order that he can go back to Texas each week and be with his family. If the Eagles want a DE, it's on the Left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 No. He is a bandaid to a bigger problem. We need a young franchise QB. You might be right, but I don't see one of those in this draft, IMO. As long as you dont have to give up a first, I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 According to some news reports its us and the Raiders that are doing the negotiation. If McNabb knows his time in Philadelphia is limited and that he may not even start, of the two teams I would think Buffalo the better option. The issue then is to stay in Philadelphia possibly as a third qb, or retire. I think we look like a pretty good option in that scenario. I also agree that we should look for an actual trade or a draft choice lower than two as the ideal way to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Some of these posts are just incredulous McNabb never had a good running game? Westbrook, Staley, Buckhalter. Not too shabby He's spent most of his career w/o a solid recg corps, but then again, Tom Brady won 3 super bowls w/ a similar supporting cast. Not to say McNabb isn't any good. But he's played his entire career behind one of the strongest lines in the league and always had a strong D to get the ball back to him. He's a quality player, but let's not overdo it on his ability to rise above the limitations of his supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, but what a choice; starting or at least playing on a winning team or a starter on a team that might be competitive about the time that you're ready to call it quits?

Maddog69 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 trading for McNabb would be a huge mistake for the Bills I agree. Who would want a future HOF QB who has led his team to the playoffs in 8 or his 12 seasons and led them to 4 NFC championship games? It would be a terrible mistake to add a player like this to a floundering joke of a franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy in 4C Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 If we can get him for some sort of 3rd round + package deal, then yes, because we're going to blow that pick anyway. He will actually be able to get the ball to Lee Evans down field which will at least make the team exciting for a change. As far as the team on the field, it won't make us an instant winner, but it will fill the seats. I can't imagine what the fan reaction would be if we march Trent or Fitz out there again and blow for another season. The only way we stay in Buffalo is the fans.

MattyT Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yes I want him if we're not giving up too much. Be nice to watch somebody who's competent for a year or two while we find and groom our next franchise QB. This is pretty much the only position that I think might be worth trading any picks for at this point. EDIT TO ADD: More I think about it I doubt this happens. Donovan has no incentive to want to come here and it's not like the Eagles are desperate to get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
