It was news to me too, they were adamant that there are no issues between them

Let me just say had I came on here a month ago and said lets trade and pick up McNabb people would have told me to stop playing Madden. So I disagree with you it was Madden-esque. As a matter of fact when he was being reported as being shopped I could have sworn I saw someone post saying we should pick him up and people said he won't be a Skin. Something about the Eagles want too much for him.

I think back then a lot of us thought that the Eagles wanted a 1st and something else. Especially back when Andy Reid still had his balls and actually had a much of a saying.

One of my favorite Donovan jokes which I can hopefully no longer say...
"Donovan: Mama why do you always feed me Chunky soup out of the can?
Mama McNabb: Because whenever you get close to a bowl you choke!"

I didn't get it, but I'm guessing you liked Beavis and Butthead.

On the original note with Shanahan I would presume we would do better then 9 wins. I don't expect it but I feel Shanahan is better then 8-8. We have talent but we just needed a HC who knows how to utilize it.

Unless McNabb has one hell of a season I don't see Pro bowl next yrs future.

Play offs might be the the second reason it turns into a 3rd.

I think my issue with the whole thing is I just hate the other QB's with in the NFCE. Giving up a second and next yrs 3rd or 4th for McNabb was not a bad deal considering his abilities. I just can't bring myself to liking him whole heartedly since he has been the enemy for so many yrs.

Clearly he has been welcomed in DC better then he was in Philli with all the Boo's. Maybe we should boo him game one coming out of the tunnel as a sarcastic joke to Philli. Then the rest of the season cheer his ass.

NICE. :thumb:

When did Campbell talk about those things? He usually puts me to sleep when I hear him talk.

I liked what McNabb talked about. He talked about his goals, didn't shy away from high expectations and promised leadership.

Mike S. said "leadership" just about every other word.

Any other questions why JC isn't our QB next year? Lack of Leadership

The guys been at one place his whole career and just got traded to a division rivial. Let him get use to being here and let him get his feet wet. Did you hear him say he was already working out that am and was going to start throwing to his new teammates today?

You know who's really got class, Donovan McNabb. I would be pissed if my team treated me like the eagles did him. And how he kept his composure without busting T.O right in his teeth on the sidelines in some of those games, shoot.........Intestinal Fortitude as well, dealing with those fuckin fans.

D.C. Sports Bog - McNabb causes Fletcher to talk Super Bowl

"The excitement with our team began with the adding of Bruce Allen as the General Manager last year at the end of the season. Then it continued and got even higher when we added Mike Shanahan as the head football coach. So now we come in and they make all of the other moves they made in this offseason and then you trade for a Donovan McNabb, a six-time Pro Bowl quarterback, a guy who has taken his team to five NFC Championships and one Super Bowl appearance. You talk about excitemen. Before we were thinking, 'Ok, Let's compete for a division championship.' No. Now, we are thinking, 'Let's compete for a Super Bowl.' So just to let you know how things have changed around here."

emphasis mine.
