This is my birthday gift to him

I don't know. I read that article above and I think the sand in his vadge was put there by Andy Reid. They guys got a legit beef and it's surprising he hasn't been more disruptive.

or did reid pick him for that reason?

he is clearly the best QB from that draft class of 99 but i think a big part of deciding to pick mcnabb was his attitude. very coach-able but also very loyal/non confrontational.

Despite the fact that most of the problems are Reid's fault, I hate articles like that which basically absolve Donovan of his major sucking-of-ass.  McNabb's been brutal.  He's had time.  He's had opportunities.  He hasn't made the throws.

Receivers have also dropped a lot of balls, reminiscent of the Days of Thrash and Pinkston. Don't get me wrong, though, it is odd that it took him ten years in the league to learn to throw the ball away instead of taking the sack. That's probably moreso attributable to him not wanting to get hit anymore than to actually learning something.

However, my position is fire the entire coaching staff immediately and keep McNabb

Receivers have dropped a bunch, and they often have to work hard to catch the ones they get (changing direction when he throws a bullet behind them, etc).

McNabb has been part of the problem, period.  If he's made the scapegoat, it's wrong.  If his performance is just attributed to bad coaching and bad receivers, it's wrong.

Your face is wrong.

Oh snap.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

i don't care who's wrong as long as i get to see more clips of mcnabb yawning on the sidelines while wearing a gigantic oven mitt.

I want him to wipe his sniffling nose with that oven mitt during his next presser so all the media guys will laugh at him

Jon Ritchie just destroyed Reid on ESPN First Take.

Talked about Reid is nothing more than a delegator and that there's a real disconnect between him and the players.  He basically said that Reid is clueless and should be gone next year.

Also suggested that Lurie is a good guy and a good owner but that things have gotten stale in Philly and despite the fact that he's been gone for three years, whenever he watches the Eagles on offense he knows what's coming next, so that tells him that Reid has to go.

He also supported Donovan pretty strongly which is kinda surprising, but then again, players usually know more about what's going on on their former teams than anyone else.

Good for him.  farg Reid, it needs to happen.  There is a ton of shtein coming out now, and i hope it keeps coming.

Things are going so well for the Reid family these days

The fact that more stuff like this is coming out does not bode Reid, that hopefully is  good thing for us as fans.  This team does appear on the verge of completely quitting on him.

I think the veterans have had enough of his act and the younger players are just following suit.  You could see the quit in them on Sunday and that's something that I never thought I'd ever see from this group, especially Dawk, Tra & Runyan.

What a sad way for three warriors like them to end their careers.
