why would the eagles give McNabb a raise? what has done to deserve it? not get injured?
It cracks me up when he threatens them all the time by saying he is leaving in two years. Hey Donovan! In two years who is going to want a 35 year old, washed up, injury prone, fatass QB?

Are you serious?
McNabb is the ONLY reason the Eagles continually get to the NFC Championship. They always give him crap WRs yet he still wins game and puts up massive #s. When they give him good WRs, they go to the Super bowl. Imagine if McNabb left, the Eagles would have Kolb and would be lucky to win 6 games a year.

I’d agree with you for 2000-04 but not now… Hes got no wheels any more, he whines constantly, and he doesn’t know OT rules
I will respectfully agree to disagree with you sir

he definitely has a flat tire, but who needs wheels? Not Brady, Palmer, Roethsliberger, Manning, Eli, etc…all pro bowlers.

no he doesn’t have a flat tire, it just reinflated around his stomach

As much as I hate to say it
McNabb is the best QB in the Beast and one of the top 10 QBs in the NFL. He’s been making chicken salad out of that offense for this whole decade. T.O. was the only legitimate WR they’ve had and look at what he did with James freakin’ Thrash for those couple of years. Thankfully, his best years are probably behind him.

It's good to see
Landry out on the field and Horton named SS. Having Doughty as a backup isn’t so bad either. I guess Kareem Moore will back up Landry.

A class Coach
Clearly defines who the starters are at most positions, while providing the open competition at Right Tackle and Kicker.
He does not state the job is secure if they do not perform, Last year the exact same statement could have been made that Doughty is the starter and Horton the back-up…things change depending on performance and it appears Zorn has no problem making the change if needed. A lesson he may have learned last year….HIS FIRST YEAR AS HEAD COACH!
Stan Hixon
makes it sound like, as of this moment, the WR corps will be:
1) Moss
2) ARE
3) Thomas
4) Kelly
5) R. Williams
I was hoping for a… 6) Mitchell

Dirty 30 fake-numbered Zorny???...
One last note from the Landry incident, though: Zorn explained part of his conversation with Landry — the part where he figured out why Landry hadn’t been getting back to him. “I said, ‘What phone number do I have,’” Zorn said, “‘And what phone number do you really have?’ Then we synchronized our phones.”
One of the reporters questioned the different phone numbers thing, and Zorn brushed it away. “You know these players, they change their phones. A couple of my texts came back, and I thought, ‘I don’t really have the right number.’ So, we synchronized them, and now we’re good.”
