If the Eagles had to KEEP one of the two, which one would you rather?

Mike McMahon
Koy Detmer

Note that there is no option to shoot yourself in the head.  Which one would you keep if you had to keep one?

the only advantage mcmahon has over detmer is that mcmahon is younger, and may actually improve a little bit. detmer gets worse by the minute.

Detmer.     Atleast he is fun to make fun of.

McMahon.  At least he has some raw tools.  He can't use them at this point, but every once in a blue moon, he looks like a QB.

Keep Detmer, no one who is in a backup role knows the offense better than he does. He is a Akers' holder, and he can help the next guy who comes in to be a solid backup. Detmer doesn't have the physical tools of a starting QB, but everything else is there. Where as McMahon has the phsyical tools, but nothing else.

I know he threw more TDs to the opposing defense than he through to Eagles offense all year. Not really, but probably close. He had 5 TDs and 8 picks all year...so it's probably four or five.  :-D

who cares what he knows. all he does is throw to the backs of the offensive linemen.

being a good holder is not a reason to have a job in the nfl.

They are going to have three QBs again. McNabb, XXX, McMahon/Detmer. I don't think that either McMahon or Detmer will be the number 2 guy (other that using that spot for holding purposes). If it is the number three spot that one guy is staying around in, let it be Detmer.
