Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss

The reason is that we gave up a 2nd round pick and that he "used" to be good when he played for the Eagles. The problem with that reasoning is that you can't worry about that 2nd rounder, it's already gone and it's not coming back. Compounding the mistake by re-signing a guy who is a bad fit in this offense makes no sense at this point. You really have to look at the situation as a "what is" not a "what should/could/would be." McNabb has been a below average qb this year. That's what he is RIGHT NOW. If that changes before the end of the year, great. But if not, we'll move forward with someone new. Dude's been here 6 months, we're not committed to anyone for the "long haul" yet.

Also... we're a .500 ball club at the bye, and we've been winning in spite of our offense. Things could be much worse.

If anything we should be pretty damn happy we didn't give him a long term deal the second he walked in the door. We've got an easy out with him if things don't turn around. Sure it would suck to lose those picks, but thankfully we're not tied down with him.
