I don't believe whether DM5 plays or not on Sunday really has any bearing on what they do with him during the off-season. I believe he comes back for another year

I just don't follow that logic. You either finish with your guy on a competitive note or you don't. Why fuel uneccassary speculation and put your team through yet another off season saga. Either Shanny has poor PR skills, which he does, or there's something to Rex possibly starting. The mere fact that we are discussing this, doesn't bode well for McNabb.

And how much more disconnected could Shanny be by pulling his starting QB during Dallas week with a chance to stay out of the cellar of the NFC EAST?

Yeah I don't know really. I think McNabb will start quite honestly. But who can say for sure.

I wonder if there's a financial issue at play here. I know he wouldn't get a game day bonus if he's not active (not sure what that amount is). And one of the provisions for the Eagles to get our 3rd (and not our 4th) was for McNabb to participate in at least 70% of the offensive snaps.

Although I think it was 70% plus the Redskins had to have a winning record. Plus, what does it really matter since we don't have our 3rd and 4th regardless of who gets the picks between the Saints and the Eagles

Just wish we still had Chase...
