McNabb is going to Washington !!

[Spikes]

I vaguely recall the Saints making up for that one somewhere along the way   

Oh yeah. Everyone was makin fun of me when they lost to Dallas, then the Bucs and Panthers. I just kept quiet. Then I ragged on all them like hell when they won!

The Feagles will pay dearly for trading McNabb to a division rival. Do you really think Kolb is better than McNabb? The numbers don't hold up.

Kolb's QB Rating is 88.9 His career stats are even less impressive.
               COMP   ATT   YDS   TD   INT   ATT   YDS   TD
Career   79   130   885   4   7   21   -1   1

McNabb's QB Rating is 92.9
Career   2801   4746   32873 216   100   573   3249   28

Philly's problems weren't at QB, but they are now.

I think he is younger and therefore has a longer shelf life than McNabb.  He also wont cost the team as much.

He is also not lazy from all the trappings of fame and fortune.

Besides, we like rooting for the underdog.  Haven't you ever seen Rocky?

You are comparing a guy with 800 attempts who plays only occasionally with a guy with close to 5000 attempts and a regular starter for years. Kolb will allow Reid to run a true West Coast offense, something McNabb can't do.

[fudgums]

something McNabb can't do.

One thing Kolb isn't, is that McNabb was a winner. Eagles will barely win 6 games next season. They lost their backfield, and their O-Line is not a good as it used to be. Who knows about their defense.

The skins could be an interesting team to watch, 3 good backs in Shanahan's system, with McNabb. O-line was bad last year so who knows, havn't seen much on their defense...

[Dawger]

No quarterback is a winner until he is.

I was watching some silly show on ESPN the other day about quarterbacks. Some top ten list. Drew Brees didn't make the top ten because he had never won "the big game". Obviously made before this season.

I've seen Kolb play and he is probably much better than McNabb could ever hope to be at running an offense. Of course, he doesn't have the same supporting cast so the Eagles will probably be mediocre.

[VonMessa]

McNabb also becomes less and less of a threat outside of the pocket the older he gets.

The text didn't line up right. Kolb has 130 attempts, not 800.
Get back to me when the Feagles finish last in the NFC East. That is unless Reid yanks him mid-season.

[crazyivan]

I guess this means REdskins aren't going after Matt Staford! Well the Skins don't need a big game winner, just a throw it to your own teamate QB. Mcnabb will be fine for the skins. McNabb to Cooley doesnt sound bad.

DOH! I meant Sam Bradford, Still doesnt matter. Randle El was the biggest disappointment for skins past few years IMO.

Then comparing a guy with 130 to a guy with nearly 5000 is just that much more ridiculous.

Perhaps we should compare wins...

Football is a team sport.

[ZetaNine]

this is actually a great move for mcnabb.  sure the skins are suspect...but I think if mcnabb will go into washington with a new selfish confidence...with a chip on his shoulder...he could light it up with the skins...and have two good seasons there.... which will garner a permanent membership in canton.

[MORAY37]

Lol... Skins had a better quarterback in Campbell.  They needed to invest in an O-line, not an older now mostly immobile quarterback who never had good accuracy to begin with (McNabb)

Kolb has a stronger arm, with better accuracy than McNabb.  We'll just find out if he's a decent quarterback now.  Eagles had to move him, and they did it respectfully, at the least.

They'll win 6 games this year easily.
