McNabb, Feeley, or Kolb

[Zanshin]

McNabb needs to start, whether the Eagles want to move forward with him or not. 

I've been McNabb's biggest supporter on this board, but after this year and all the things that have gone on, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if he never lined up under center for this team again. A career backup just lead our team to a three pt. game against the best team in the league, and possibly one of the best of all time. Yes, he threw three int's, but that will happen when you haven't played in a while.

After hearing McNabb cry about being a black qb, saying it's not all his fault after a loss and basically sounding like a 5 yr. old pissing his teammates off, I'm about done with him. Just shut the farg up and play already. He's a often injured shell of his former self, his mechanics are so screwed up he might not ever get right again, and even if he does, it seems his time here is done and he's just about worn out his welcome.

Feeley taking the blame for the Pats loss after Reid wasted that last possesion showed me he has more guts in his little finger than McNabb has in his entire body.

I just want to be clear that my postulation had nothing to do with a personal need to see McNabb-- it's about what we're likely to achieve this year (or not) regardless of who mans the position, and the business/future value of sticking with McNabb for now.  It's a "don't cut off your nose to spite your face" thing.  The odds of getting ridiculous value for McNabb are slim-- but let's not forget that someone shelled out a 2 for Feeley and a 2 for a gimpy Culpepper.  Sure, that was Miami retardation in both cases, but getting a 1 isn't at all out of the question if McNabb can show some value the rest of the year.

I think coaches have enough tape on Mcnabb last year, this year, whatever year to know that he can run an offense, alot better than a Tavaris Jackson or Rex Grossman. Not to mention he will be healthier. The Eagles should get value--lets hope. Some people just need a fresh start....and hes one of them

Anybody else realize that he is 15-15 since the 2004 Super Bowl?

You're missing the point.  Someone has to think something is of value to you if you want them to pay for it.

Actually, they just have to think that it is of value to someone else willing to pay more.

Donovan McNabb (ankle, thumb) did not practice Wednesday, making it unlikely that he will start in Week 13 against the Seahawks.
"When Donovan is ready to come back physically, he will be the starting quarterback," coach Andy Reid assured. Reid says McNabb still has swelling in his ankle and considers him day to day. Still, all indications point to McNabb missing Sunday's game and A.J. Feeley getting the start again.

I'm curious what would happen to the line if McNabb were announced to be the starter for Sunday.

"People don't remember what I've done here, what I've been able to accomplish here," he said. "Why would I waste my time on trying to bring it up ... it's a no-win situation for me."

Jesus farging Christ. Enough already, just trade him for a sack of smelly thongs and be done with it.

The Eagles wouldn't be in this mess if the Hoying pick had worked out.

I don't remember were I read that certian players were pissed about McNabb's comments. I thought it was an article posted in this or another thread.

McNabb's career has been like another Eagles qb that some of you might be a little too young to remember. Randall Cunningham couldn't get his team over the hump either, and late in his career here, he lost the respect of his teammates. I have the same feelings for McNabb now as I had for Cunningham back then. I just hope we don't go through a glut of bad qb's for a decade before finnally getting a decent one.

I go back and forth on McNabb.  Most of the time, I think he just needs a coach who gives him a system that works better for him than what Reid has done.   A coach who doesn't coddle him, who gets plays into the huddle with the quickness, who runs to set up the pass rather than the other way around, etc.

Then there are times like this that I think, yeah all that is very nice of me but at the end of the day McNabb has the talent of a world class athlete but the mentality of a whining loser.

i used to be a huge mcnabb fan....and because of that i put up with his awful sense of humor and his lack of fire...then in 2004 i really started to sour on him...his awful comedy routines hed do with TO in every interview...when he literally quit in the steeler game...the superbowl gag (pun intended)....then the TO mess where i was clearly anti TO but still bothered by mcnabbs bitchiness...and ever since then its been one gigantic whinefest...it never ends

basically what mcnabb is is the ultimate front runner...when things are going well hes benny hill and when it isnt hes spalding smails
