I strongly disagree. McNabb looked tons better physically against KC than he did against Oakland. Here in Philly, reports are saying that his sternum and groin are healing up nicely, it's just the hernia he has to worry about for the long haul. And lots of players have played through that. McNabb's tough and I don't see him going down.
But even if he does, don't you remember when Koy Detmer came in and lit it up a couple years ago in relief of McNabb? Of course he got hurt pretty quick and AJ Feely took over, but Koy has been in that system for ages, he can run it.
The Eagles do this every single year. They go like 2-2 in their first few games, Reid has lost 5 out of 7 games in week 1. But then they always, ALWAYS go on a friggin tear. I think anyone who thinks they won't do that is getting a little too caught up in the results from the first 4 weeks. And just like those who said TO and McNabb couldn't work on the field together after all the drama, those who say McNabb can't stay on the field all year long are being very shortsighted.
