A millionaire athlete at one time... and his name is officially "Warrior" now.

good for ritchie. the majority of the media is still on reid's balls and thinks his record his earned him a few bad season....but then they turn around and claim mcnabb's record in the past should not be used to NOT bench him or get rid of him.

besides wilbon i do not see anyone in the media really call out reid.

Jon Ritchie just destroyed Reid on ESPN First Take.

Talked about Reid is nothing more than a delegator and that there's a real disconnect between him and the players.  He basically said that Reid is clueless and should be gone next year.

Also suggested that Lurie is a good guy and a good owner but that things have gotten stale in Philly and despite the fact that he's been gone for three years, whenever he watches the Eagles on offense he knows what's coming next, so that tells him that Reid has to go.

He also supported Donovan pretty strongly which is kinda surprising, but then again, players usually know more about what's going on on their former teams than anyone else.

link? I would really like to read/see that.

Good for Ritchie.

When three teams say that they know whats coming from the offense in three consecutive weeks, you know there is a major problem. Especially when one of them is the goddamn Cincinnati Bengals.

Keep piling on Reid....I hope it finally causes Lurie to make a call.

What'll happen is that he will resign though. He'll be fired, but it will be made to look like a resignation. Which is fine with me.

Ends justify the means, as far as I'm concerned.  I still think napalm's a better solution though.

Feed him to starving Ethiopians for all I care... just get him the farg away from my football team.

You know, that might just qualify as twofer for the Reid's - Mormon missionary work and solving world hunger problems for, like what, three years or so?...kinda dovetails into that holiday giving thing, too.

FYI, Jamie Dukes and Rod Woodson had a great discussion about the Eagles last night on NFL Network, basically they said that if Eagles fans think getting rid of McNabb will help the situation any, they're "a bunch of idiots".  They said that McNabb was having problems, but placed most of the blame on Reid and said he (Reid) has to go for anything to improve in Philly.  The comparison was made that Peyton Manning has three #1 draft picks to throw to, and Tom Brady has a future Hall of Famer and Wes Welker,  who'd be a #1/#2 WR on any team in the league.  Other than one year with Owens (his best year BTW) who has McNabb had?  They are also on teams that actually make an effort to run the ball and take pressure off of the QB.  Woodson finished by saying that he'd love for McNabb to leave next year and take another team to the Super Bowl, while Reid and the Eagles fight for the 1st pick in the draft for several years.

[Rome]

I'd love for Rod Woodson to get hit by a bus.

McNabb does not have big games against quality opponents anymore.  Reid is by far a bigger problem, but all these ex-players and commentators are going too easy on Donovan by comparison.

Anyone want to bet that Donovan will win a Super Bowl?  I would love to take your money.

[rjs246]

In other words Woodson is saying the exact same shtein that every Eagls fan with a brain has been saying for 3+ seasons. Super.

[Rome]

Pretty sure no Eagls fan hopes McNabb leaves and wins a Super Bowl elsewhere.  Maybe IGY but no one else.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Hopes are a lot different than wagers.
