McNabb?

I know in the past, Donovan McNabb has been the target of scrutiny, mainly from Rush Limbaugh. But he has been a solid QB every season of his career. I just read this article on ESPN about how this could be his last season in Philly and the Eagles might trade him while he still has value. Would the Panthers be interested? Contract too high with Delhomme still on the roster?

Personally, I'd cut Jake in a heartbeat and trade for McNabb if it could be done frugally. To squeeze one good year out of him could mean Superbowl for the right team if the Eagles were to let him go. But with Delhomme's contract, I don't think the Panthers would make a move like this.

I've always liked McNabb which makes it difficult to fully hate the Eagles. I watch him throw the ball and I am truly amazed. Flick of the wrist and it's 20 yards down the field. But Philly has a west coast system and I'm not sure he could make the switch.

This. Would love McNabb in a Panthers uniform, growing up he was one of my favorite players.

See this is one reason I like the Eagles they know when to get rid of players. BTW I would take McNabb here for a 3 year contract.

One thing the Eagles don't do is hang onto a person too long, that is for sure. They have a knack of letting guys go a year or so before their decline is really noticeable (not saying Mcnabb is going to decline but he is getting older).

And yes, the Eagles run a West coast offense but I have always thought McNabb might actually do better in another system. A change in system wouldn't be a tough transition for him I wouldn't think but I am not a QB.

They have been saying this each year for the last 3 years, but who knows......today might have an influence on what they decide to do. A bad loss today and I can see the new Kolb era beginning and this being his last game as an Eagle. I could also see McNabb being the starter next year.

With all that being said, what do you have that the Eagles might want? I will forward the best offer to the Eagles for consideration.

I fear inability to transition and that would make me hesitant to get McNabb, but he is smart and I personally would probably take the gamble. If I wasn't burdened with Jake that is.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
