Donovan McNabb remains convinced that he will remain an Eagle.

Furthermore, he insists that's exactly what he wants.

After practicing with the other players on the NFC roster this morning at a Fort Lauderdale High School, McNabb was surrounded by a large media gathering here to cover the Pro Bowl.

In a later one-on-one interview with the Inquirer, McNabb said he takes Eagles coach Andy Reid at his word when he says he will return next season as the team's starting quarterback.

"That's all that matters," McNabb said. "I heard it when he said it to you guys, but I heard it before anyway. I think a lot of people look too far into things with all the assumptions about what could happen. (Reid) told everybody I'm going to be there and I'm his guy. I don't see anything that anybody else should look into."

McNabb also said he wants to be in Philadelphia even though he's about to endure another offseason debate about whether or not he should remain the Eagles' quarterback. He said that doesn't bother him in the least.

"It really doesn't," McNabb said. "What's wild about it is when you go somewhere, that's what everybody brings up: 'Hey, man, where you going to be?' "

McNabb said his answer is always the same: "Uh, Philly."

"It would only affect you if you allow it to," McNabb said. "This isn't my first go-around with it. I've been going through this the last three or four years."

Unlike a year ago after the season ended, McNabb is not lobbying for a contract extension or alteration even though he's about to enter the last year of his current deal.

"I don't think we should really focus on that," McNabb said. "I love playing the game and that's what it comes down to. I am under contract for another year. We don't know what's going to happen in 2011. We just don't know. If I have to come back and play (in Philadelphia), hey that's great. I would love to. I love this team and I love being around these guys and competing. I think good things could happen for us."

McNabb insisted that he has never given much thought to playing elsewhere.

"No," he said. "I let other people think about that. For me, the grass being greener is really what field you're playing on. When you're in Philadelphia, obviously, there are ups and there are downs. I've been a part of it for 11 years, so I don't let it affect me."

Even though the Eagles' season ended with consecutive lopsided losses to the Dallas Cowboys, McNabb believes this team could still be a Super Bowl contender in 2010.

"We're not far away at all," McNabb said. "We went on a six-game winning streak, we made good things happen with an explosive offense, the defense came around, everybody started playing well and then those two games hit, which was unfortuate. But it happens. It happened to us against the Cowboys, it happened to the Cowboys against Minnesota and to Minnesota against the Saints."

ugh

i think one of the main factors in people thinking that he's going to be moved is that he was going to demand an extension and their refusal would lead him to demand to be traded.  but if he's not going to demand an extension like he says in that piece, then it really becomes simple for the eagles to trade Vick, draft a qb late in the draft to develop, and play with McNabb this year and let him go after the year and move onto Kolb.

[ice grillin you]

i would agree with that if kolb wasnt going into the last year of his deal....that throws a monkey wrench into everything

[MDS]

or they could get something for mcnabb, play kolb, see if hes any good and extend him if he is and let him go if hes not.

at that point, you start over from scratch and hope to get jacory harris or someone.

[ice grillin you]

i cant see anyway they let go of mcnabb and dont extend cobb

[MDS]

if they extend kolb he better damn well be good

im not sold on it but im willing to roll the dice and see what hes got. if he proves himself in about a handful of games, then yea, pay the man. $ should not even be an option for a team this wealthy and this far under whatever the farg the cap is (if there is even one), but then again, we know thats not how the eagles do business.

trading mcnabb is a no brainer. extending kolb could be disastrous if he turns out to be bobby hoying which is possible.

[ice grillin you]

i was 100% anti cobb before he played this year...like you im still not sold but im willing to defer to andy now...they know a lot more about cobb than we do...if they dont think hes good they wont do it...at the same time even if they believe in him its not like hes gonna get big time money...hell get a nice bump to lower level starter cash and then if he outplays that he will get a phat re do of his deal

[MDS]

well lets say this

if they extend kolb and he is middling to below average, will that hinder them from trying to get one of the best qbs on the board in the 2011 draft? like if hes at best chad pennington or brian griese to name a few middle of the barrel qbs. if you have the 00 ravens defense you can win with those guys and i think we all know that andy reid is never going to even attempt to have that.

given how cheap the eagles are and given how they just named a jew accountant the gm i get the feeling for better or for worse an extension of kolb = hes the guy no matter what.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Viva la McNabb!

this whole paragraph is basically imcomprehensible to me and i dont really have any idea how to respond

[MDS]

i have written thousands of moronic things on this board but that actually makes sense...i think.

After reading that...I'm pretty much convinced its a magic jewish spell of some kind.
