NFC East holdouts/contract problems

2) McNabb, while a very good QB, is not as good as he looked last year. He will revert to his 2003 stats.

No better than 3rd?

I really wish that would happen but I just don't see them dropping off that much.

The TO and McNabb combo was deadly last year, as long as they can iron out their differences on the field, which I think they will, I don't see how they won't have as good of a connection this year if not better.

Even if McNabb's numbers fall off a bit which they just may, he's still one of the top QBs in the league. Even before TO he was taking the Eagles to NFC Championship games.
