A change of pace isn't always a bad thing to go over that final hump. Phillies might win the big one with this change and McNabb may finally win his own coveted ring with the Skins. I think it has worked out for everyone. The move also signifies the next in line to get the axe is no one else but Mr. Andy Reid and he may not even have two seasons to work with. Kevin Kolb also has Michael Vick as the back up which means they can give the offense a dynamic makeover, so I think Philly is the team to watch out for in the next couple of years while Skins are certainly on their way too. NFC East looks even more formidable now with all these new development.
Looking forward to it.

Your example would not support the Eagles decision. On the contrary, it supports the angle that the Eagles are going to struggle without Donovan. And let's not forget McNabb is being replaced with a quarterback that has very little starting experience and hasn't shown anything to warrant being a starter. This is a quarterback driven league and if you don't have one that is even on a decent level, you're most likely not making the postseason. Not saying Kolb can't rise to the challenge, but I just don't think the risk was one that was necessary to take. Especially when you have an elite quarterback on your roster.

Word. Like I just mentioned this is a QB driven league. If Peyton Manning went down I wouldn't be surprised if the Colts didn't win another game...even if it was near the beginning of the season. Their backup has played extremely awful. I think they need to find someone better.
