unless they want to see him doing goofy dances in his driveway this off-season they better get something done quick

According to Michael Smith:

DMac tells Reid and Banner to improve the offense or he wants out

QuoteAccording to a source, McNabb and agent Fletcher Smith quietly met with Eagles coach Andy Reid and Eagles president Joe Banner for several hours last Tuesday at the team's complex in Philadelphia, before Reid and Banner traveled to the league's scouting combine in Indianapolis.

The source said the sides cleared the air once and for all on Reid's Week 12 benching of McNabb in Baltimore. They also held preliminary, informal discussions about a contract extension, the source said. The source said the parties had preferred to keep the meeting confidential as they work through various issues beyond the benching.

Those contract talks may not resume any time soon. McNabb would like the Eagles to add to their already solid core pieces that would make them an even stronger championship contender before engaging in serious negotiations on an extension. McNabb, 32, is under contract for two more seasons.

Although McNabb wants to remain in Philadelphia, if the Eagles aren't successful in significantly upgrading an offense that needs help at wide receiver, running back and offensive tackle (veterans Jon Runyan and Tra Thomas are free agents beginning Friday), not only may McNabb drop his request for a new contract he may consider going as far as to ask the Eagles to trade him.

good for him...he should have done this years ago.

If he's still pissed off about being benched for a half a game then he should just do the world a favor and blow his farging brains out. He has a point about them needing more weapons, but for farg's sake, 90% of the teams in the NFL could use better skill position players, not just the Eagles.

Well he has been saying since the week 12 benching that they will have this meeting. And he has been also saying "other stuff too" so I wonder if that other stuff is upgrading the offense.

Reid probably ignored it like he did his sons.

well if Reid has been selling McNabb this long that the players he puts on the field can win a championship I dont think a 2 hr meeting will accomplish shtein

PhillyPhreak54 · February 23, 2009, 08:11:10 PM

Good for him.

He's been asking for weapons for awhile now so I am glad to see him throw it in their face.

ice grillin you · February 23, 2009, 08:33:32 PM

when they truly needed to improve the offense all those years mcnabb didnt say shtein...now when the offense is good enough to win a title hes asking for improvement?...the ironic part is now the reason it needs improvement if because the qb isnt good enough to win with what he has

i suspect this primarily has to do with the benching with some $$$ concerns mixed in and nothing to do with getting a better offense...thats a complete negotiation tactic

Magical_Retard · February 23, 2009, 08:41:27 PM

You think this offense with no running game, often injured Westbrook, and very inconsistent QB/WR play is good enough to win a championship?

PhillyPhreak54 · February 23, 2009, 08:41:34 PM

There it is; the IGY view....I was waiting to see how you'd spin it against him.

Rome · February 23, 2009, 08:43:02 PM

Yeah, let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya now that the little bitch finally made a stand after 10 farging years of having stiffs like Greg Lewis & James Thrash to throw to.

Maybe he'll stop puking on the field and stop his shuck & jive bullshtein on the sidelines as well?

Nah.

PhillyPhreak54 · February 23, 2009, 08:45:37 PM

He's been making that stand since at least 2003. They answered the call once with TO in 2004 and haven't done shtein since.

Rome · February 23, 2009, 08:50:10 PM

Hahaha. No he hasn't. He hasn't said a farging word to the press until this year and he only started shooting his mouth off because his deal is coming to an end.

Look, I like McNabb. I think he's a very good quarterback and that if they actually got him some bonafide weapons other than Westbrook, we'd be talking about him potentially being in the Hall of Fame some day.

But all this bullshtein about "good for him" is a joke. He's a Hoyda, he's always been a Hoyda, so let's all just stop it with the slaps on the back for the company man. 'kay?

Magical_Retard · February 23, 2009, 10:04:39 PM

I bet you if he had thrown guys like Trash and Pinkston under the bus and still lost those 3 NFCCGames the talk would be he threw his teammates under the bus. Still I would have loved it. He almost always echoed Reid those years with the "We are fine at WR" company line.

Al though last off season he did publicly state they needed more weapons.

TO on this team was more of TO begging to come to this team.
