Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Is McNabb Scripting His Own Exit?

I know this seems like a far-fetched idea, but I do not believe that there is anyway that Donovan did not know what happens if a game goes into overtime.  I believe that he has become so frustrated with the media, fans and just about everything associated with the city of Philadelphia that he said that after the game, to get people so against him, that he will not have to do anything else to be let go, traded or even benched.  I also think that he is frustrated with Reid and management for not getting him a receiver after all of these years.  Instead of bitching and moaning and going public like some other former players had, he kept his head down, was a yes man and took his shots from everyone.  I think he has hit a wall mentally and is exhausted from this city against him for so many years and has had enought.  That is why he said that, and is going to take it to his grave that this was his way that he bought his ticket out of this city. 

I am actually a McNabb fan, i think Reid is the problem, its not the driver's fault if the car can't work.  Reid is the car and in this case a ugly jalopy that has outgrown his success as a coach that has been caught by younger, smarter coaches that are on to his scheme. 

I wish Donovan the best and I would like to see him one more year without Reid and see how he perfroms, that would be ineresting to see if that man has one more breath with some new fresh air.

Enough with the receivers nonesense.

Please. Who did John Elway ever have for multiple seasons as a “great receiver”?

McNabb doesn’t have “great receivers” because no one on the Eagles is ever the target of 180 pass attempts in a season.

And its perfectly believeable that McNabb and numerous other players had no idea how overtime ended. They are busy memorizing the foreign language of football plays, not learning the arcana of fandom. And the last overtime game of any consequence in the NFL to make it through an entire extra overtime period was Rams-Panthers in the 2003 playoffs, with Steve Smith finally ending it in double overtime with a 60+ yard TD. Steelers-Falcons in 2002 had no relevance to most current players, and very few players were in the league for the two overtime games from 1997.

Seriously, is Jeff Lurie paying you, or are you Andy Reid himself? And as talented as Donovan McNabb is…he ain’t no John Elway.

Elway and McNabb’s stats are eerily similar. Take a look, project Mac’s numbers out to 16 healthy seasons – I don’t know if I can tell the 2 apart.
Sure Elway got to 5 superbowls (I think), but Mac’s been to 4 NFC championships and 1 superbowl and just let me ask, what did Elway need to finally win the big game? Anybody?

what? this is one of the most foolish posts i've read all season...

are you kidding?

when elway won his two super bowls? he had all-pro running back terrell davis – who was in his PRIME…he had rod smith…who, i don’t know…had eight 1,000 yard seasons, multiple pro bowls, and was all-pro in the years following the super bowls…give me a break….smith is just the all time franchise leader in catches, yards and touchdowns…that’s all elway had…

ed mccafferty…yea, he was bad too…he only caught 109 passes for 1643 yards in the two super bowl seasons….

and shannon sharpe at tight end…a member of the all-decades team in the 90s…he was only voted all-pro at his position six times with elway and the broncos…

he only caught 136 passes for nearly 2000 yards in elway’s two super bowl seasons…

Here's what I'm affraid of...

Remember how Mcnabb waited about 6 months after TO’s exit and then ripped him in that interview?

If he leaves, he’ll do the same thing to the city, the coaching staff, and the fans. Nothing is ever Donovan’s fault. I feel sometimes like he has never had to take responsibility for anything… and i think that because Reid babies him so much.

I do respect the Andy ALWAYS stands up for his players, but sometimes i think calling McNabb out a little might light a fire under him… and wipe that retarded smile off his face after an interception

Billy Penn who?

It’s 2012, but he has no almost more guaranteed money after this year…

I don't know how reliable this info is, but

eaglescap.com lists all the player contracts and keeps track of the available space…
