Re: This week in NFL (Week 17)
I think McNabb's chances of being an Eagle next year are 50/50. I think he is definitely up on the trading block, but the Eagles won't accept anything that doesn't include a 1st round pick in the deal. The teams that would be the most eager to get him would be the Bears, Atlanta, Detroit... well, a lot of teams... good QB's are a rarity these days.
Personally, I'm sick of McNabb. I've been a fan for a long time, but at heart he's an exceptional backyard QB and nothing more. I say that because he has never been able to throw a timing pattern. Every time he throws the ball it is after the receiver has made his cut. Thats why the wide receivers are almost always tackled immediately after reception. In a west coast offense you HAVE to make the throw before the cut if you expect any RAC yards. Thats why Garcia ran the offense so much better than Donovan ever did. McNabb is more talented, but Garcia runs the offense better because he runs it that way it is supposed to be run.
On a side note, I love how the Eagles can't lose a game after they are eliminated from the playoffs. All they accomplished was hurting their draft position.
