Maybe Andy Reid has been telling us the truth all along about the Eagles quarterback situation eventhough nobody seems to want to believe him.
He said Donovan McNabb would be the team’s starting quarterback next year and has gone on to repeat it numerous times.¬† Plus he hasn’t done anything to suggest that he wasn’t telling us the truth.
Of course you know the loud sentiment amongst the Philly sports “experts” and fans is to trade McNabb and start over with the Kevin Kolb, who has turned into Manning, Brady and Brees rolled into one, the more we talk about him.
I have even heard that Kolb is now worth two first round draft picks.¬† Are you kidding me?¬† You might be able to get the forementioned quarterbacks for two first round draft picks and you’re telling me that Kolb is now worth that much.
Folks this is starting to get crazy.
The more I hear that arguments for getting rid of McNabb without any sound reasoning to go with them, the more it turns me off to that thinking and the more it makes me confident they should hang onto the guy who is the main reason we have had so much success in the last decade.
I don’t understand how we ask a guy to win it all without the weapons, then finally when we get some weapons for him to work with, then it’s time to give the keys to somebody else who we’re not sure about.
Don’t buy all of that talk about the coaches like Kolb garbage because they’ve also liked all of the lousy draft picks we’ve been making for years.
The Eagles began this decade winning on defense and asking McNabb to create some offense with little to no weapons.¬† We had one year in which we had legitimate weapons and that’s the year we went to the Super Bowl.
Is it a coincidence that last year the Eagles broke the team scoring record?  Is it a coincidence that they broke the record which was set the year before?
McNabb and weapons equals points.  He has nothing to do with the problems on defense.
If the front office does a bad job making picks during the draft, you can’t then blame McNabb for a team not winning a championship.¬† People complain about personnel mistakes which are made then when it’s over they blame everything on McNabb.
Is McNabb the reason that the defense could only force a total of two turnovers in the four NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl that this team lost?
Check out the rosters of some of the Eagles teams which have reached NFC Championship games and you will see that those teams were jokes, when it comes to offensive talent.
I predict that if they let go of McNabb we’re going to see all the holes on the offensive side of the ball and the holes on defensive side of the ball and special teams.¬† Everybody will be saying we’ve got to do this and we’ve got to do that.
