I have no idea I'm with you on this one! I'm kind of dumbfounded but I guess this means we're drafting offensive linemen in the draft.

My guess is that Shanahan doesn't like Campbell, doesn't like Clausen, and doesn't think McCoy will be available with the 37th pick. That's the only way this move makes sense to me, because while it unarguably makes us better next year, it does not lay the foundation for a legitimate championship run for the immediate future. We still need a QB for that - a legit franchise QB - and McNabb be not he. I find talk of Donovan giving us five or even three productive years wildly optimistic. I put the over/under at two. This is not Brett Favre who played basically his entire career injury free. McNabb is a guy whose career was in free-fall after suffering severe season ending injuries in 06 and 07; a guy whose physical condition has always been a question mark. A guy who will be playing behind a line without a single entrenched starter.

I don't support this move, although I am praying that McNabb forces me to eat a hot steaming plate of crow at some point. I like him fine as a guy, although as an Eagles hater I always enjoyed watching him invariably meltdown in big moments.

Anyway, we'll see....

Agreed. Five years is fantasy-land. Two sounds about right.

Reid and the Eagles are obviously of the 'a year too early versus a year too late' line of thought. Let's hope Kolb bombs for them the way Shuler, Ramsey, and Campbell has for us.

lmao!!!

[skinsguy]

Well, the facts are, Santana Moss WITH Donovan McNabb equals a great combination. BUT.....all of this is for NOT unless we address the offensive line.

I'm going to create an AE here named JLC's 2nd Chin and chime in from time to time

He's a motivated dude, I give him that.
Oh right, a long time ago, the Iggles No.1 WR was James Thrash............................................ ...........

It was referenced somewhere else I thought ESPN that McNabb strong armed his way to the Skins or had his pick and it was pointed out that he didn't. Basically he got to pick from a few teams the Eagles gave him options for. The Skins was the best option for him (McNabb).

Damn, almost 8000 hits on this thread.

The good news if there is any is that when Shanahan took over in Denver he had Elway at 34 and went to the SB. He's getting McNabb at 33. Maybe something happens. We'll see.

List of NFL QB's that have passed for more than 30,000 yards passing and rushed for more than 3000:

1) Elway 51,000 passsing 3,200 rushing
2) Tarkenton 42,000 passing and 3,600 rushing
3) Steve Young 33,120 passing and 4,200 rushing
4) McNabb 32,000 passing and 3,249 rushing

Top three are HOF'ers
#1 Elway was with Shanahan.

Shanhan worked with Young as an O-coordinator or something. I think he said something to the effect that he wanted Young to throw for even more TDs in the Super Bowl where Young set the Super Bowl record for TD passes in a Super Bowl.
