The talk at the begining of the year was a possible change to Kolb next year and allowing McNabb to leave.

How fitting is it that TO has a hand in the possible splitting up of McNabb and Philly.

If it happens it will all be traced back too tonights game!

This game will be the mark of the end of the dynasty. He is healthy, no excuses, it's just over for him. Maybe a change of location would help, but the Philly love story is at an end.

Donovan has been plagued by a lack of decent WRs through his entire career. With the exception of TO and Westbrook their entire cast of WRs are all 3rd, 4th and 5th rated Wide receivers. If McNabb throws a perfect pass and no WR catches it does it make a sound?

McNabb looks very out of shape, his accuracy is shot, and he was staring down receivers all game. Never really been impressed with his game, but his career is going to end in Oakland or Miami.

How much of the WR problem is McNabb's doing though, not to mention that team is getting old fast and has a lot of money tied up in over the hill vets like "The Freak-less", runyan, Thomas, Spikes. They are getting dangerously close to where the cowboys were, being old in key positions on the field.

Or his hometown of Chicago maybe? I could easily see him there.

McNabb isn't healthy. Before his injury last year I guess it was he looked like he was the best player in the NFL. This year he's had his moments but he's not been consistant. He's doesn't have the same mobility. And that was really a dangerous part of his game.

Yeah. If he hits free agency, it is almost guarenteed he signs with the Bears.

You gotta agree, Philly's inability to add a relevant WR to the mix is not helping McNabb at all. He looked real good when he had T.O. to throw to.

Philly has horrible WR. I think that's pretty evident when you see Westbrook making 14 catches

Kolb must be in awe, just biting at the bit to join a long illustrious list of Eagles quarterbacks with names such as McNabb, Cunningham and Jaworski....who failed miserably to ever win a Super Bowl:D

If this is McNabb's last curtain call he should be banned from any HOF consideration, he is not any better than Danny White at best.

If they were to actually have some good receivers there, he'd be fine I think. He's got LJ Smith and Westbrook. Everyone else blows.

Reid and that FO didn't exactly IGNORE the WR position, it was actually more like BAD DRAFTING. FredEx was a #1 pick, and Pinkston was a high #2. You would THINK that this position would be good to go for YEARS. It's alot like with Chicago and drafting Rex Grossman in rnd#1-it was BAD DRAFTING.

So why do we have to feel sorry for them? Remember how we got alot of flack for drafting Jacob Rogers, Al Johnson, and Stephen Pederman?

I'd say they definitely had some bad bad breaks at the receiver position. All of their receivers have basically turned out to be busts. It's kinda like the Vick situation in Atlanta. Say what u want about him as a passing QB because he did make some terrible throws, but he also made some great throws last year and his receivers dropped almost every catch. I think McNabb could easily be a top 3 QB if he were given a couple receivers worth something.

I also agree that he looks a bit immobile now after his knee problems. I think this may resolve itself though as his knee gets stronger.
