Jamaal Brown was probably prematurely put on IR last year, given the fact that he could have played in the playoffs for NO. He had a hernia surgically repaired. So what? It's not like he's rehabbing a shredded knee or anything. The way I see it, he's got one more year of mileage on him, and is fresh as a daisy coming into camp. I think he'll be our best O-lineman this year.
Yes McNabb is 33, but he's still one of the best in the business, and despite your injury comment, he's started 44 of the last 48 regular season games. Pretty solid.
And stating that our O-line basically has no chance of being solid simply because Heyer is on the team has zero basis in fact.

Peyton Manning, Brees, Rivers, Brady, Favre, Rogers, Rothlisberger, Ryan, Schaub, shit, even Romo and E. Manning.
That is a list of QB's that I would rather have under center for my team, solely based on skill and production, other than Donovan McNabb. The point I was trying to make is that people throw around the word "great" and "one of the best in the business" (wrong) too often. McNabb is not one of the best in the business. He is a servicable, capable veteran, but no longer one of the best. Shit, not even top 10 m8.
And saying that our line is "great", no matter who we have brought in, coaches or personnel, without seeing them play together as a unit, is just stupid in my opinion. I know being a fan is great and fun, just be realistic as well.
Our line couldn't get worse, and the moves we have made have a 100% chance of making us better than last year, definitely, but we are far, I repeat FAR from being considered great, far from even above average, no matter what the brilliant minds of NFL radio say or think.
PS - Heyer fuckin sucks, and as long as he is on the squad, credibility is lost. Sorry.
