Can We All Finally Agree Donovan Needs To Burn In Hell (even you phreak)

[smeags]

reids main problem is not balance its WHEN to throw and not to throw...his situational play calling is atrocious...and thats not something you magically get better at...we could also talk about in game adjustments...clock management ect...but thats another topic

agreed.

some rumors floating that its Mcnabb to St Louis for the 33rd overall

[PhillyPhreak54]

Adam Schein has been beating that drum on Sirius for a couple weeks now.

McNabb to STL for #33 and Atogwe.

[ice grillin you]

gargano talked to spags today and he said that the rams have not spoken a single time to the eagles about mcnabb and there is no truth to that rumor whatsoever

lol

[PhillyPhanInDC]

gargano talked to spags today and he said that the rams have not spoken a single time to the eagles about mcnabb and there is no truth to that rumor whatsoever

To be fair, he wouldn't say he did if he was on hold with Eagles.

[ice grillin you]

it wasnt an interview tho...gargano didnt even use his name...he basically said he has sources close to the situation...and its fairly well known that his two best buds in the nfl are spags and heckert

if spags told him they were looking at mcnabb i could see gargano not saying anything

but the fact that he was allowed to go with this tells me its troof

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Nah, I don't buy it. If the Rams wanted McNabb, they'd keep it completely under wraps until everything was in place. Not only would they be worried about a dark horse driving up the price, but they have the draft smoke screen process going on too.

St. Louis is blowing up over this rumor. 

I call BS mainly because of the pending sale of the Rams.

McNabb trade talk heats up

Posted by Mike Florio on March 24, 2010 4:38 PM ET
A day after Eagles coach Andy Reid told the media that teams are "entertaining us with offers" for the various quarterbacks on the roster, evidence is emerging of teams interested in starter Donovan McNabb.

Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Bills and the Raiders have inquired regarding McNabb's availability.  Per Robinson, McNabb would favor a trade to a team with a contending roster, like the Cardinals. 

Also, persistent rumors have been making the rounds of the Eagles trading McNabb to the Rams for the first pick in the second round of the 2010 draft.

That rumor heated up today, as Mike Missanelli of 97.5 The Fanatic in Philly was discussing it on the air.  He eventually pointed out that Chris Mortensen of ESPN had informed him via text that he had checked out the story with both parties, and that there's nothing to it.

Still, the move makes sense.  If no one is offering a first-round pick and if the Eagles are intent on getting the best deal they can for McNabb, the first pick in round two would be the best possible deal.  Now that the draft is spread out over three days, with the second round starting on Friday after after the first round finishes on Thursday night, the team that holds the first pick when the draft reconvenes holds a lot of power.  Players that other teams covet will have slipped through round one, and there will be an extended time period for the team that has the next pick to do a great deal.

Of course, the Rams would have to want McNabb -- and they'd have to be willing to give up the second overall pick and the power that goes along with it.  At this point, it's looks like it won't happen.

Which means it probably will by the weekend.

According to DNL Jeff McClane is reporting that a deal could be done with St. Louis by the end of the day or the end of the week.  Ha.

I am so desperate for something interesting to happen that I'm actually paying attention to this tripe. FML.

Donovan is what, 32-33? He's got 4 solid years left. There's no reason he can't win a SB here if given the help to do so.

i'll give you 3 reasons why that will never happen:





not to mention that his post season stats aren't anywhere near impressive. 

mcnabb's had 5 legitimate chances to win a super bowl and he came up short each time.  i've enjoyed watching him play over the last 10 years.  as frustrating as he can sometimes be on the field, i still enjoyed it overall.  he definitely played a large roll in reshaping the eagles.  but seriously, when is enough enough?  i'm at the point where i really don't care one way or the other.  if he's here for 2010 and beyond, fine.  if not, fine.  because regardless of who is the quarterback, this team definitely ain't competing for a super bowl this year.  so the one benefit to not having mcnabb is that maybe this team goes from 9-7/10-6 territory and a potential playoff game and drops to 6-10 or 5-11 and lands in the top 10 of the draft in 2011. 

if this team was absolutely built to win right now, then maybe i'd be more inclined to stick with mcnabb.  but it's not going to win this year so why not cut ties with him and see what kolb brings to the table?  for the 2nd round pick that the eagles used on him, i will actually be farging pissed if he isn't actually the starting qb for this team at some point (assuming they don't get equal trade value for him).  i want to see what this 2nd round pick looks like, even if it's worse than hoying.

i believe dmac's playoff record is like 2 games above .500 ?
