McNabb's Injury

[Rome]

Excuse me but Donovan McNabb is the best player on the team. 

Yeah, he's been coddled like a four year-old by Reid over the years, but for God's sake, he's one of the best players in the NFL and if the play-calling and personnel around him and on defense were improved, he could still win a Super Bowl if not multiple titles.

all is well...they signed omar jacobs.

I like the Omar Jacobs move. Was very good at Bowling Green. If he has any chance to develop into something then it is worth it.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I like him too. But he came out too early from school. He'll never amount to much here though. Maybe as the #3 next year if they don't draft a guy. This is like when they signed Tee Martin in 2002, IMO.

I do like them bringing up Tank Daniels. Hopefully he replaces Jason Short for good.

I have a foot in the coach has to go bandwagon as well....but who would be the best candidates?

[The BIGSTUD]

Gruden, Fisher, maybe Ron Rivera?

Gruden is a chode.

Fisher
Rivera
Whisenhunt (Pittsburgh OC)
Kirk Ferentz (Iowa)

There are some others out there but I'd have to go make a list

I like all of those coaches, including Gruden.  I don't think they should get rid of McNabb, but they definately need to upgrade the QB position.  They should draft someone early, or get a solid veteran FA. 

Schaub would be the ideal QB, but that is way too much money to put into the position.  He also wouldn't want to be here unless he was going to be the starter for good.   Also it is way too early to write off McNabb.

I agree, but like FF said, for insurance it would be wise to draft a qb high in next years draft.

There is no doubt in my mind that McNabb will come back. That's just the kind of player and man he is. My worry is that this is the third time he's had a serious injury in the last four years. And this time, he was just running out of bounds and blew his knee out. That ain't good.

I say draft your future qb in the next draft, and have him watching and learning so we aren't put in a position to have to watch a friggen' Jeff Garcia in a Eagles uniform.

[The BIGSTUD]

Gruden won a Superbowl and flat out owned Jim Johnson back in the 02 NFCCG. I love Gruden and his team up in Tampa has no talent. If he was on the Eagles he'd know exactly how to utilize the talent here.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Gruden is overrated and a caricature figure. He's all about those funny faces on the sidelines. Over-rated, clap, clap clapclapclap.

[The BIGSTUD]

Overrated? Maybe. Still the best coach out there if he's available? Yes.

Still better than Reid? Yes.

That is pretty much exactly what I was saying.
