the biggest strike
against Caron Butler – he is “great friends” with Tony Oh-No. Both from Wisconsin, Oh-No beat Butler out for Mr. Basketball there.
These teams are idiots then.

It worked for OAK last year...sort of
Seymour is only 30. McNabb is 33 so he probably has at least 3 years left. But yea, I wouldn’t do this trade for anything more than a #2….and only if I was the Cardinals or Vikings who are already Super Bowl caliber. JAX, BUF, and OAK…it’s laughable really.

I hope Mcnabb stays
from what I saw last year, he’s basically done, call me crazy, but ask yourself why Reid is willing to get rid of him.
I think he's still top 10, top 12 QB
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
He's top 5
He’s only had 2 good WRs at a time on his team once, most years none and he still gets the job done. If they had pulled the trigger on Boldin, Super Bowl contenders.

Top 5? I don't know
He’s only had 2 good WRs at a time on his team once,
That’s about as much as a QB can hope for. 5-7 years ago he was elite with crappy WRs. Now he’s aging, and has a very good WR corps.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Wow really?
Mcnabb will be 34 in nov. He’s never been an accurate passer and he was very innacurate last year and he’s certainly no Kurt Warner. He’s always used his feet to get out of trouble and he looked for the first time to me last year like he slowed down a bit. This is what I think the Eagles brass take notice to.Do I think he can win games, sure I do, but back to the super bowl, NO WAY.
Their not completely sold on Kolb and even though Mcnabb can return them a 1st rounder they seem hesitant on pulling the trigger. From a business standpoint, I would take the 1st rounder hands down. In the end I think they take it though.
I'm not saying he'll be top 5 the next 3 years...
But he continually puts up gaudy numbers with a terrible WR corps…not to mention he continually gets his team to the playoffs (from there, they get outmatched for loads of reasons).

He's had good WRs for the past 2 years
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Last year, yea
But 2 years ago is questionable. DeSean and who? Reggie Brown…Greg Lewis? Kendra Baskett?

DeSean, Brown & Curtis is perfectly fine WR corps
It’s a far cry from the Pinkston/Thrash days.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Kevin Curtis has played 12 games in the last 2 years
Reggie Brown has 1 TD in 24 games the last 2 years = BUST

But for the past 3 years their WRs have not been 'horrible' as you said.
In 07 & 08 they were average, and last year they were good/great.
= Not horrible.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
I guess we have a different opinion on horrible
The Eagles know they’re crappy WRs (reached max potential) yet they continue to stick with them. = horrible

I just think it's inaccurate
to conflate pinkston/thrash with desean jackson and their various supporting WRs
the latter is miles better.

And don't forget FredEx

I agree with it all except the terrible wr's
he’s always put up good numbers and I think that’s just who Mcnabb is. He’s seems to just always not have enough no matter who’s on the team. His age now would be very concerning to me If I were in that organization and he has been hurt and out for a number of games in seasons past.
One thing to note on this situation is the Cowboys. They have to be the favorites to win the East this year and the first thing you must do in any division is beat the teams in your division. Certainly the Cowboys are going to be around for a few more years and IMO they are on the rise. Mcnabb was completely owned by the Boys last year and his accuracy isn’t going to get him wins like his feet do. But at his age it’s not going to get any better for him. If I’m every other other team in the division I want him to stay around.
the gaudy numbers might
come from the fact that philly throws the ball 40+ times a game
The world looks mighty different when you're peeking out your belly button

Who let Al Davis on Hogs Haven?
They have some decent talent, but as long as Cable is still there (along with Al causing / allowing all kinds of dysfunction), nothing much is going to come of it…
Wait, what?
If Oakland gets McNabb, I fully expect them to be playoff contendors.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
I second this analysis.
Their offense is awful.
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
I don't even think he'd make it a whole season there
You can ask Brian Orakpo about their O-line.
Serious business.
OAK seems most likely to pull the trigger, but....
That also means they won’t be able to steal Jacoby Ford in the 1st round instead of waiting for the 2nd or 3rd round he’s project to go in.
And with their 1st round pick
the Eagles pick Jimmy Clausen. (in my dreams!)
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Berry wont fall past #7
And i doubt he will even drop that far. Eagles should stop wasting their time, Eric Berry isn’t going to be there.
Orakpo!!! Russel Okung next year!
