Re: Rumor: Eagles and Rams Finalizing Trade Involving McNabb
 

[quote=Longtimefan;678718]Last time I checked you can't trade UFA's...the very point I tried to make. Next sentence...We traded Champ Bailey and.......I'm out.[/quote]

The point was that Champ Bailey was not a UFA at the time of the trade. Bailey wanted out of DC, and we would not have kept him after he eventually hit the UFA market. So we did the deal.

I'm just hoping the Eagles somehow end up shipping McNabb to Minnesota. Then they would either cut Sage or trade him to us on the cheap.

he started his career here, would be cool if he ended it here.

I'm not sure that I understand the Sage Rosenfels love. He seems to me like the definition of a journeyman backup.

Pretty much what he is. Decent backup, nothing to get too excited over. Sorta like Rexy, though Sage lacks the $exy factor.

Anyone with the name "Sage" has no business being in the NFL.

That name scares nobody.

Ditto for "Lilly", "Petunia" or "Lovie."

Perhaps he can earn a starting job, win some games & refer to himself as the "Sage King" & quote Confucious in post game interviews so that people don't think he's named after an herb.

because until we have our "very own" peyton or brees wrapped up for us. someone that is the undisputed qb king, we will always salivate over prospects proven or otherwise

Lookout world -- it's time for "Sage Rage"!!

Re: Rumor: Eagles and Rams Finalizing Trade Involving McNabb
 

i don't understand all the sage hate. he knows the system and has played very well in it. although i'm sure smoot would vehmently disagree - i think a low round draft pick would be better spent on him than someone like jevan snead.

Re: Rumor: Eagles and Rams Finalizing Trade Involving McNabb
 

I'm somewhat bored so how about this - Would you approve of this hypothetical trade?

Redskins trade our 2nd round pick (37th overall) and a conditional 2011 pick to the Eagles for McNabb

the 2011 conditional pick could escellate as high as a 2nd round pick if the Redskins beat the eagles twice, finish the season with a better record, or go further in the playoffs than the Eagles. If the Eagles season is better than ours, then the Eagles get nothing.

Basically what this questions asks is this - do you feel a 2nd round pick would be better spent on McNabb or a rookie quarterback? (keep in mind, its very very rare for quarterbacks not taken in the 1st round to ever become starters)

Why not spend the 2nd round pick on another position?

I don't know if I could ever pull for a team with McNabb bounce passing footballs to receivers 8 yds away. I'm saying my fanhood would take a sabbatical until that sad little experiment was over.

Re: Rumor: Eagles and Rams Finalizing Trade Involving McNabb
 

Good. I hope they get rid of Mcnabb. I hate to admit it but my old lady is an Eagles fan and I am so tired of hearing eagles fans blow Mcnabb.
