today's kinda slow...let's analyze mcnabb's comments:

QuoteMcNabb also knows the Eagles (6-10), who couldn't win a game in the NFC East last year after claiming four straight pennants, didn't make the offseason splash their contemporaries have.

While the Eagles privately think they're better off because they avoided losing players to free agency, their quarterback -- like the fan base -- is uneasy about the striking offseason additions around him.

"Well, I mean, it's somewhat frustrating at times when you're seeing other players that possibly could help you out joining other teams -- especially in your division," McNabb said. "But we have our nucleus here. We have our guys that we know that can go out on the field and make plays for us. I'm sure the draft is going to help us in so many ways, so we just have to take full advantage of it."

Is it worth me even attempting to analyze them in a slightly more thought-out manner in hopes of striking up some sort of actual discussion with you, or would it be like playing tennis against a brick wall?

I'm going to guess the latter and allow you embrace your inner whiny bitch without being challenged. You owe me.

Hopefully Andy will read McNabb's comments and completely change his philosophy regarding free agency.

Don't make me post the pictures Sun_Mo sent me of you two spooning before the Phillies game.

McNabb will be the next Ozzie Newsome - incapable of winning the Super Bowl as a player, but will win one as a front office guy. This much is obvious because of his innate genius in NFL personnel matters, right?

No doubt in my mind, either. Go Birds.

Excellent deflection.

But seriously... my thoughts on McNabb are pretty much that he's not a smart guy at all. He's relatively well spoken, but deep down, he's just another idiot football player that couldn't even break 20 on the ridiculously easy Wonderlic. He is pretty much the last guy I'm going to listen to on personnel issues, despite the fact that he is the "leader" of the team and by far the most important player.

I'm not exactly thrilled/overwhelmed at what the Eagles have or haven't done so far, but there also are only a very small handful of players signed as FA's or traded to other teams that I would have taken at similar deals to what they got, and even half of them I'm unsure about.

Probably the two players I most thought the Eagles should have taken a look at that are now OFF the market are Rocky Bernard and Mack Strong, both now re-signed by the Seahawks.

What I do know is that the Eagles have at least addressed a lot MORE than they usually do in the off-season via FA, and there are still possibilities out there, however remote (Hunter Hillenmeyer, Javon Walker, etc) to improve the team by other routes than the draft alone.

Cant say for sure, but if you take a look at who was signed in the division it seems like McNabb really wanted Randle El to come to Philly. Dallas signed TO so it wasnt that. Giants didnt sign any offensive skill positions from other teams. Washing traded for Lloyd so im not sure that really counts as FA. Randle El is really the only guy.
