We already saw that QB's from the Eagles offense don't translate well to our system yet you want to bring in another guy from that very same system? For better or worse Reid QB's will not translate well into this offense. Part of the reason Vick has been so successful is a combination of committing to the pocket and being allowed to improvise.

As for Moss good riddance. Lazy, only want to run one route, build the offense around me, diva.

VJax is fine so long as he's an actual free agent.

I think McNabb's biggest flaw are that he misses the "easy yards" either by "**** IT, I'M GOING DEEP" or his balls in the dirt. Vick can at least avoid that and has some mobility, which the elder Shanny likes(Elway, Plummer, and even Cutler had some wheels). That said, Eagles aren't letting Vick go.

Kolb could fit better though. He's super accurate and has some mobility, just not Vick-like mobility.

That brings up a good point though. What is Shanahan's system exactly? I was under the impression that it was based on progressions that start deep and then work their way down, along with the bootlegs, play action, and zone blocking. I think Jaws called it 3 to 1 with 3 being the deep zone and 1 being 5 yards in front of and 5 yards behind the line of scrimage.

On the other hand I was also under the impression that Reid emphasizes short dump offs before going deep as evidenced by the heavy use of Brian Westbrook during his days in Philly. It seems that only recently with the acquisition of Desean Jackson that the team has implemented more deep passes.

Well, just looking deep first doesn't mean that there aren't shorter routes to go to if the deep ball isn't there. It also doesn't help that we don't have an Andre Johnson to make those deep bombs more successful.

I was mainly talking about McNabb's decision-making with us. There were a good chunk of plays where he just went for it all instead of making the safe pass for the sure yards. Then there were times he made said passes but they fell in the dirt. It seems like he was dreaming of T.O. :cheeky-sm
