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

[SD]

Schefter vs. SalPal duel to the death!

This is going to be a long 3 weeks. I'll set the over/under on 100 pages by the time the draft rolls around.

It's also worth noting they're no longer actively shopping Vick.

More McNabb debate please.  Much more.  Please.

none of you can say with a straight face that you won't miss this.

btw i just looked it up and reid throws 57.1% of the time

I suppose it's possible that I didn't see what I thought I saw, but when I just tried to look it up myself I got sleepy and stopped caring, so I'll concede whatever your point was to you.

I believe that he calls over 60% passing plays, but under 60% are actually executed due to unplanned QB runs.  But even if that's not true, it changes absolutely nothing.

[Seabiscuit36]

he has zero say in the matter

[rjs246]

Exactly. Also, it's going to be three weeks before anyone knows anything, at which time McNabb will be traded for a 4th round pick and Howie Roseman will be seen jerking off to pictures of himself with a celebratory cigar shoved up his manhole. Eagles fans rejoice!

[smeags]

so a player refusing to re-sign with a team he's being traded to has "zero" influence ? zero ?

[rjs246]

ZERO!

[smeags]

[Sgt PSN]

to say mcnabb has no influence at all is a bit ridiculous as i'm certain that there are a few teams out there who would be interested in mcnabb but have stayed away since they know that he wouldn't have any interest in signing an extension with them.  al davis is about the only person in the league who would give up high draft picks for a 1 yr rental player.

We've noted a few times that boxer Bernard Hopkins loves nothing more than to bash Donovan McNabb. In 2008, Hopkins (who's from Philadelphia and is a big Eagles fan) said McNabb doesn't have the stomach to compete at the highest levels. In 2009, Hopkins called McNabb a "lapdog" and a "frontrunner" and later got cozy with Michael Vick.

Now that McNabb appears to be on the way out of Philadelphia, Hopkins is stepping up his criticism.

On Wednesday Hopkins promoted this weekend's fight with Roy Jones Jr. by participating in a live chat with FanHouse readers (moderated by me), and he made it clear that he has even more disdain for McNabb than he does for Jones.

"After my victory Saturday night I'm going to have a big party where we celebrate sending McNabb where ever he goes," Hopkins said. "The Eagles have a chance to get to a Super Bowl and a change is well overdue."

Hopkins believes that McNabb has spent the last few years trying to prove he can be a pocket passer and neglecting his gifts as a runner, and as a result can never lead the Eagles to a championship.

"McNabb was a running quarterback early in his career with the Eagles but he changed," Hopkins said. "Somebody suggested that he should stay in the pocket. And I'm like, McNabb, don't be an idiot. God gave you the ability -- take advantage of that."

Hopkins said he likes Vick and would love to see him start, but he'd also prefer Kevin Kolb to McNabb.

"I think the starter should be Michael Vick and the backup should be Kevin Kolb but I think both guys should get a chance and Vick might still need some time to get comfortable," Hopkins said. "I'd actually like to see them mix both guys up. I think either one, both having different styles, can be successful."

Hopkins will be happy with just about anyone other than McNabb under center for the Eagles.

He loves Vick, hates McNabb.

See where this is going?
