Neck Beard so we can watch what he does after he gets a touchdown.

Detmer
1) Knows the offense (so Reid would still call more passes than runs)
2) Fragile and weak-armed
3) Can bench 150
4) Has a cool celebration

McMahon
1) Bigger arm and faster
2) Will force throws and make harum-scarum decisions
3) Looks like a cross between Gannon and Marino
4) From Rutgers

Put Koy in and erase 90% of the pass plays from Reid's chart.

So, that negates point # 1 and leaves us with:

Quote~~1) Knows the offense (so Reid would still call more passes than runs)~~

4) Has a cool celebration

"Spank It" Celebration >> McMahon's skills

Call me crazy, but I still have confidence in Koy. I know he's looked lousy when he's had the chance to play lately, but a lot of the times he was lining up with the 2nd stringers against other teams 1st stringers. He's the type of guy who's reliable because he knows the offense so well, and would use his lack of arm strength to hit receivers on the move.

hunt · September 27, 2005, 10:47:05 AM

koy is brutal.
plus, kc's D has trouble with qb's who bootleg and roll out so i'd go with mcmahon.

Exactly. I stayed up over here to watch that game last night, and I couldn't believe how easy KC's defense went with the runner on the rollouts. The American guy who does the analysis of all the Sunday night/Monday night games also said in his opinion, Kawika Mitchell isn't suited for MLB--in the wrong place, not stout enough....

Okay...i'm calling you crazy like you asked. He blows and will lead this team straight down to the bottom of the NFC East.

I'm with SD, Koy is the man until it's proven otherwise. How many people feel that even if McNabb is able to play maybe he should sit this non-division game?

General_Failure · September 27, 2005, 01:35:34 PM

Had we started 3-0, maybe you sit McNabb in this game. Good luck convincing him he's not going to play in that scenario though.

4and26 · September 27, 2005, 01:37:04 PM

And I like the fact that were catching KC on a short week after getting their a@@ handed to them...

ice grillin you · September 27, 2005, 01:41:08 PM

i dont really care

if i had pick i suppose mcmahon just because its someone different

plus i often get nauseous watching detmer play

WEST is GOD · September 27, 2005, 03:44:29 PM

I'd rather have Koy right now depending on the situation. Mcmahon is way too out of control for quality defensive coached teams. There will be 3 receivers wide open and he'll just take off and run with it. Mcmahon's crazy.

jeffreyjpa · September 27, 2005, 06:03:48 PM

If I were the head coach, I'd seriously think about benching Donovan this week and letting him rest. I'd then start McMahon, and have my offensive coaches devise a plan to run the ball using Westy/Gordon/Moats. And, then I'd fill my free coaches seats with hot chicks.

Honestly, I'd let him rest...and, if he wasn't significantly better next week, I'd sit him against Dallas and wait until after the bye to start him again. They can make him the emergency QB for this week, if he's up to it, in case of disaster.

They need him in November, December, and (hopefully) the playoffs, not necessarily in October.

PhillyPhreak54 · September 27, 2005, 07:18:14 PM

Is this like being on your death bed and having the Reaper come and ask you if you'd prefer to die by suffocation or heart attack?

If Koy started they'd construct the gameplan to what he does well. Like they did in that SF MNF game in 2002. And Reid would run it more.

If McMahon starts he is a risk taker and they'd have to cut down on some of the playbook.

Start Koy, if he struggles put in McMahon.

Time for the fan vote--Detmer or McMahon???
