Seattle wants McNabb

Posted by Mike Florio on March 10, 2010 9:10 AM ET

During a Tuesday appearance with Mike Missanelli of 97.5 The Fanatic in Philly, ESPN's Sal Paolantonio dropped a couple of bombs regarding the current quarterback situation in Philly.

Paolantonio said that the Seattle Seahawks have been contacting the Eagles "non-stop" regarding quarterbacks Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb. As we reported last week, the Eagles have been hearing from multiple teams regarding McNabb, but the Eagles have not yet entertained any offers.

But offers apparently will come; Paolantonio says that Seattle coach Pete Carroll wants to win right away, and in Carroll's mind that includes getting McNabb or Kolb. And Paolantonio says that he now firmly believes that McNabb will be traded by the Eagles at some point in the offseason.

Meanwhile, Paolantonio also said that the well has gone dry on Mike Vick, and that no one is interested in trading for him. "St. Louis has dried up," Paolantonio said. "Buffalo, dried up."

It appears, then, that the Eagles are banking on something occurring later in the year to create a market for Vick. Possibilities include a starting quarterback struggling in offseason drills, a torn ACL injury during red-jersey practices or the preseason, or the decision of a 40-year-old quarterback who runs a very similar offense not to return for another season come August.

:lol:

Not surprising. McNabb is going to walk into a whole other culture in Seattle.

I'm still wondering why everyone wants Vick so much, no other team wants him or thinks he is worth a chance...wouldn't the panthers look kind if stupid going for him?

Because Vick was one of the most promising QB prospects of all time and showed he has still an amazing arm and quick release.

Coaches will always convince themselves that THEY can be the ones to turn him around.

I am still a big supporter of Matty Hass....but damn I would take McNabb in a heartbeat!

the part of the original article that doesn't make sense is Seattle wanting McNabb or Kolb...seems to be quite the jump from one to the next!!!

I would love to see what he (McNabb) could do in Seattle. I think the players in Philly prefer Kolb and everyone knows it so I kind of agree with Sal that Mcnabb gets traded but we have all heard this before. McNabb needs a fresh start and Seattle would be nice. Just tell your receivers to start doing toe touches so they get used to digging balls out of the dirt like a shortstop!

I could be wrong but I think if any team were to offer a 1st for McNabb, the Eagles would personally drive him to the front door of the stadium of whatever team offered. Who knows though....Depends how bad a desperate team wants him and how serious the Eagles are that they are not interested in trading him.

Jeremy Bates once worked under Gruden. Wonder if he's planning a West Coast type offense in Seattle. If so, going for McNabb would be wise.

Could be a real minefield for Philly, honestly.

Suppose you trade Kolb (not likely) and he becomes the next big thing while McNabb starts showing his age?

On the flipside, suppose you trade McNabb and then Kol suddenly turns out not to be as good as you thought he was?

Pitfalls either way, but it's pretty rare for a team to trade away their QB of the future. McNabb/Kolb could be this year's Favre/Rogers.

As to the comments on Vick, ouch. Even the Rams don't want him?

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
