McNabb's Injury

[Eaglez]

That's good news, but we still need someone who has the ability to win games if/when McNabb is sidelined with another injury.

[Feva]

Just a small thing Z... but the knock on Gradkowski is that he doesn't have that strong an arm.  Don't know if you watched but he proved it against Dallas by terribly underthrowing Galloway on a deep ball which allowed Roy Williams to pick him off.

[Eaglez]

Yeah, I saw that play. However, I like his pose in the pocket and his awareness. He seems to have a good feel for the rush even though he's only been playing for a little while. And at 6'1 222 he is a pretty decently sized QB who can probably take a lick or two and still not get rattled.

Tom Brady doesn't exactly have a very strong arm either, but he can make all the throws when needed. Tom Brady is great because he feels the rush exceptionally well and makes good decisions with the football. Gradkowski has similar qualities. I'm BY NO MEANS saying Gradkowski = Brady, but I think Gradkowski has demonstrated some of the qualities that makes Brady great.

Any QB from the MAC is a friend of mine.

MAC = QB Central, baybee.

Get Charlie Batch?

Talked to NC today and he said McNabb has lost 20-25 pounds since the injury....

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Is that a bad thing?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Wow. He'll look like a rookie again.

Good move too. Less stress on the joint.

[BigEd76]

Is that a bad thing?

It is if you didn't lose it on purpose....

[Diomedes]

NC knows this because he weighed McNabb?  Because McNabb told him as much?  Because he saw McNabb and his eye judges that amount of loss?

I don't really care what the answers are.  We'll see about McNabb in the fall.  Until then, I don't much care if he's put on weight, or gained it.

The "less weight, less stress on his knee" argument does make sense to me, though.

It is if you didn't lose it on purpose....

even in december?
a minimum nine months before you take a real snap again?

this is a non starter and should not have even been brought up

[BigEd76]

I wasn't trying to start anything.  Just passing along a comment that he looks like crap right now, that's all.  None of this will matter in July....

[Eaglez]

You know the media is going to want to get an interview with McNabb for their pre-game shows come next week when the playoffs start.

I'm somewhat surprised that no one is really asking McNabb about the Eagles turn around since he went out. You'd think that would be an interview reporters would be trying to secure.

[PhillyPhreak54]

He's not doing interviews. Other than a small one on NBC10 a few weeks ago he has been quiet. He doesn't want to take away from what the team is doing. Unlike TO did when he was hurt. But his mom needs to shut her yap.
