Jahvid best reppin' Cal at the combine: fastest RB with a 40 time of 4.35. Interestingly, Spiller's 40 time was a tenth of a second slower in the official results.
I have this weird feeling that the Rams might trade down and draft a QB... |

And to top it all off, he was dead-set on playing D-End when he committed to Pitt. Joe Paterno told him he was going to be a tight-end and he didn't like that. Pitt told him what he wanted to hear... and promptly switched him to offense shortly after his arrival.

McNabb has been traded to the Redskins for a 2nd round pick this year and 3rd or a 4th next year.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5055346 WOW! To a division rival!? |

I love it! (Though, watch, McNabb will never beat the Iggles....) Absolutely awful move by the Iggles... for now.

Defenitely the 2nd biggest down point of my football life behind the Eagles losing the Super Bowl. I wish the best for McNabb and if things don't pan out well for the Eagles next year, the Redskins I'll be rooting for. I'd still love to see McNabb get himself a ring.

Gocong and Sheldon to the Browns, Dawk to the broncos last year... Wow. Just wow. This is a bigger epic fail than Requiem for the Phantom's last two minutes! We head Desean and Maclin as two up and coming receivers, LeSean McCoy and (hopefully) Leonard Weaver as a running game, and we decide to trade away our 6-time QB? Someone needs to throw the eagles' front office out pronto. Odds are we're not breaking 50/50 for 2010 with the interception machine that is Kevin Klob. Edit: stupid Reid for mentioning that the eagles would trade McNabb under any condition. Imbecile.

Just a few years ago the Eagles had an elite squad with guys like McNabb, Westbrook, Dawkins, Brown, and Sheppard. Now they're all gone. The team has gotten better in some aspects with young players like DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy. However, I think Philadelphia made a huge mistake dealing McNabb. I'm not too concerned about where he ended up. I think the Eagles organization learned from the entire mess that happened with Favre and the Packers. Probably allowed the man to go where he wanted. Who knows. In any case, McNabb is only 33 years old. He still has A LOT left in the tank...and to put this franchise on the shoulders of Kevin Kolb who has only started two games is a big risk. A risk I don't think is worth the gamble. I would have held on to McNabb as long as I could and upgraded that defense.

I actually like this move by Eagle. From historical perspective it can spell success. The Yankees won 4 world championship under Joe Torre. They still opted to fire him because his team wasn't winning any more under his management since the last one. They get a new manager. With him they don't even make the playoff the next year. And the year after that, they win the championship once again.
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.

Any time you deal a 6-time pro bowler...
In the words of George Carlin: "Now that's just plain fucking stupid." The front office is paid to make decisions regardless of what fans say. I think they started taking the constant winning seasons THANKS IN LARGE PART TO McNabb. Now Kevin Klob is probably going to get Klobbered by pass rushers all season because at least DMac could run so he wasn't so easily sacked. Klob is a pick machine (hi there, Baltimore game 2 seasons ago), and the only game he's ever won was against the terribad Chiefs. Yeah...we sure got a bright future ahead of us -.-... How the hell you decide to deal a top 10 QB is beyond me. That's such a boneheaded move that it's beyond words.

Spoken like a true Eagle fan!
I truly think that in a sports like Football, one player can never make a difference single handedly. It also opens up the other option for Andy Reid that is Michael Vick. He can now fluently use both of those quarterback without worrying about an undermined McNabb. Nothing is written in stone yet. The new season is only five months way. hehe... I really think it is a very good move by the Eagles.

2003-4 season was great for him. 2004-5 was so so. 2005-6 was very good. 2006-7 and 2007-8 is .............. and 2008-9 is where they reward him with a five year extension with 20 mil guarnatee. He returns the favor with the worst output ever in his career. He is now with the Brown and will be fighting for the starting position.
We can also mention Kerry Collins who gave Titans so much success in the 2007-8 season and Warner who took the Cardinals to the Superbowl. Oh and, let's not forget the biggest of all, mr. Brady himself. It's a team game! Even with the perfect of team lead by the most superior of talent in quarterback position, there is no guarantee a team will go all the way in NFL. It happens when everything is coming together and the quarterback position is just one of the many things that need to come together for a team. No wonder I love this sport.

I get that it's a team game, but my point is that last year when Delhomme stunk, the whole team stunk, even with one of the best backfields in the league. When Delhomme started, the Panthers were 4-7. When a fresh face in Matt Moore came in, he limited the turnovers exponentially and everything picked up, even the defense, and the Panthers finished the season 4-1 with same players against teams with playoff propects. It was the same with the Vince Young/Kerry Collins situation.
My point is that one player can single-handedly make a difference, especially when dealing with the QB position, who more often than not is the leader of the team. If Peyton Manning went down with a injury, I doubt that the Colts would continue to operate like a well-oiled machine, in fact, I don't think they would be a playoff team. |

No argument there, especially where Peyton is concerned! I was chiding in more along with the situation that is undertaking in Philadelphia where fans are stating the team doesn't have any chance in the coming season now that McNabb is gone. The system that works for the Eagle and the man behind it (Andy Reid) is still there. I think its way too soon to write them off.
