the big reason McNabb was disliked is he's black which the massive amounts of racist iceholes in philly and the burbs couldn't get over but he didn't speak ebonics which igy could not get over

the end

This Yahoo Sports piece is an early contender for the worst article on the McNabb trade. Congratulations to Jason Cole.

I'm not sure what exactly puts this one over the top: the "sources close to" McNabb and Reid making wild conjectures that wouldn't fool anyone actually on the Eagles beat, the asinine idea that Reid doesn't get to make the final call on his own QB, the ten times the author repeats that this trade "could" backfire, the embarassing factual mistake of botching McNabb's draft year, the implication that McNabb picked Washington over all other teams in the NFL and held fast until the Eagles relented, the retirement threat, hyping up Shanahan as a brilliant playcaller when it's actually his son who will be calling plays for the Skins...

No one else got these scoops cause they are fake as Shanahan's tan.

Jay is right. McNabb was never fully appreciated for what he was, the greatest QB in franchise history. he's been hated on since 2003 for not winning the SB, and that's all fine and good, but he's not even close to the #1 reason why they didn't. And it's a damn shame that no one in this fan base can realize what they just lost in the trade.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

:-D :-D  He and Pat Bowlen work on their tans about as hard as The Situation and Pauly.

Did Jay or Munson ghost-write this for ESPN?

QuoteBut McNabb, who was booed by Eagles fans on draft day, was often criticized by the Philadelphia media and Eagles fans for his lack of Super Bowl appearances despite often playing with a subpar supporting cast.

The entire premise of the article that inspired this thread is preposterous.

Reid just got a three year extension from Lurie.  He still holds all the cards and this trade would not have happened if he didn't support it 100%.   Suggesting otherwise is patently ludicrous.

And LMAO at all the "L'll Donny was never appreciated" nonsense.  He was appreciated when he won and he was crushed when he lost... just like every other pro athlete.

There is a difference between saying 'it was time' and then reading the garbage some of you are spewing.

Yes, it was time. I agree. I never said I didn't. But the problem here is the dogpiling of nonsense on McNabb now. Saying how bad he was over all of the years, giving ZERO appreciation (mds and others) for what he accomplished here. Yes, he had his flaws and they were exaggerated greatly by a coach and GM who didn't do what he should to get the most out of the guy.

But to discredit everything he did here is completely different from saying "it was time to move on".

Well, MDS has always been the voice of reason in the past, so yes, his trashing of McNabb is completely out of character.

I think most people agree with this, I would included myself in that group.  I understand why McNabb gets killed and sometimes rightfully so, but some just never have and never will like him.

I read today that Shefter was saying that there's rumors that the Eagles took the taterskins deal because they preferred them to have Donovan for a few years versus Bradford for a decade...

Interesting theory. Not sure if I buy it or if I trust the Eagles FO to have that kind of forward thinking, but interesting nonetheless.

That's crazy talk.

Everyone knows they already have their shoo-in Hall of Fame quarterback of the future:
