I love rivers, love the dude, but I have concerns. And i totally think he is a better passer than mcnabb ever was but still It's reasonable

You know it just pisses me the fuck off we can't fucking develop either one of the qbs we just drafted 3 years ago.

McNabb had a bad year before being traded to us, Rivers had a terrific year without a lot of good receivers or a running game.

I think giving up our #5 for Rivers and their #17 is a big difference than giving up what we did for McNabb.

Dropping down to #17 gives us some options in getting players in areas of need (safety or OL) and getting Rivers gives the team the opportunity to develop some of our young o-linemen. Hell, if the team believes that much in Cousins, they can even develop him behind Rivers.

As with any trade, FA acquisition, and draft pick, there are always risks. And SD is blowing up their team and Rivers is not committing to them beyond this upcoming season due to the possible move to LA. Big difference than when the Iggles were trying to unload McNabb b/c they saw the writing on the wall for him.
