So I'm guessing you'd rather have Koy than McMahon if McNabb had surgery?

McNabb's not having surgery. Or is he? Did I miss something? When does the season start?

You didn't miss anything. The whole point of this thread was to be hypothetical.

Many folks have said that McNabb should go get the surgery because it would "only" be a 4-6 week absence despite the Eagles medical staff saying it would be possibly up to 12 weeks.

My opinion was that once you get cut on there are no guarantees especially with returning this season.

Well look at Dirk Johnson's case. He had the surgery before training camp, missed 6 weeks of action and here we are in week 9 and he is still being plagued by groin pain that is associated with that sports hernia.

If McNabb had the surgery, even after the Oakland game, there would be no guarantee that he'd be ready to go at all this year.

We're going to have to watch him struggle the rest of the year to warm up. We're not going to see him run. I know this has been said to the point of exhaustion, but Reid MUST get that running game going. We saw glimpses of it yesterday and the balanced attack worked (duh). And the defense needs to find their balls and play Eagle defense like they are known to.

And don't give me the "Booohoo we lost Simon & Burgess" crap. In 2003 we had Jim Flanigan, Frank Ferrara and Marco Coleman logging time at DE and no Jeremiah Trotter and they were still stopping teams.

Jim Johnson needs to adjust better and the uniy needs to step it the farg up.

I must read different than you.

The whole discussion about McNabb and the surgery is hypothetical because he isn't getting it done. I just asked IF McNabb decided to have it, who would he rather have to step in.

I don't know why, but that cartoon is grossing me out.

Those people were idiots from the get go.

This coming from one of the main contributors to the "Fire Andy Reid" thread.
If McNabb ain't runnin' he should get surgery. Yes, I know there are other problems, Lito sucks, no pass rush, running game, blah blah blah, but saying McNabb's inability to run ISN'T a problem is plain wrong. I've said it before, if McNabb continues to play like he's been playing the last few games (KC second half aside) the Eagles won't make the playoffs anyway, IMO. Therefore, he might as well go under the knife.

First of all I was talking mainly out of frustration. Secondly, if Andy does EXACTLY the same thing he's done the first 7 games then he doesn't deserve some type of punishment? That would basically mean he handed the division over to the Giants if he doesn't fix the problem. Will he fix the problems? I think he will, but if he continues to not run the ball then he has to be punished somehow.

Punishment? Why doesn't Lurie fine him a week's wages?  I mean, Jeebus, all the good work he's done and you want him fired/punished/whatever from one bad half-a-season? I have never seen such a pathetic knee-jerk reaction.

McNabb can an a rib injury to his list of problems.  Hurt it against the broncos when he fell on Andrews.

Good job Andrews didn't fall on him.
