PrintEagles Notebook: Reid says Eagles' penalty situation has gotten 'ridiculous' | Philadelphia Daily News | 11/20/2009
Andy Reid doesn't throw around words like "ridiculous" every day. So when the coach, asked about being fourth in the league in penalty yardage assessed, reached deep into his bag of press conference responses, right past "I have to do a better job putting the players in position to make plays," and "everyone has a little piece of the pie," to "It's ridiculous" - well, you could tell Big Red was a mite peeved.

Reynolds definitely has a point
McNabb does have an extensive highlight reel which over rates his ability as a quarterback. His biggest issue now is that he looks pretty good in between the 20s and then starts to fold like origami in high pressure situations. At a bar last night they had a segment on ESPN where McNabb missed a couple huge throws in the red zone that would’ve netted either a first in goal or a TD. The one was when he missed Westbrook doing jumping jacks wide open in the flat and there were a couple slants to avant and celek that were way off. Again I thought he played pretty well against SD but it looks like he’s getting increasingly worse under pressure.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
THis is the thing about McNabb that I don’t think can be denied. He’s not getting better with age. That’s uncommon for a QB. Contrary to what some people say, McNabb is not old. He’s actually at the age most great QBs are in their prime. I believe he’s younger than Brady and Manning and those guys are playing as well as ever. McNabb certainly isn’t bad, but he should be playing the best football of his career from a mechanics standpoint and he isn’t.
To be fair to Donovan...
…Andy Reid is a horrible coach and evaluator of offensive talent. Tom Brady has Randy Moss and many other “weapons.” Peyton had Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, etc. As director of player personel and the guy who calls all the shots, Reid could have gotten big talent wideouts here. The year that he got TO, the offensive was truly explosive (and multifaceted—look at Westbrook’s year that year). Reid is a disgrace.

You see it's posts like this
That are the reason why people think you and JIBTA are cut from same cloth. Where to start on this post?
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
You could start with its factual accuracy.
And then to address your jibta point, he loves Kolb and hates Donovan. My opinions are a bit different from his.
"Right now Winston Justice is the guy...until that person gets back out there"
He does.
But Reid’s ill-founded belief that “wide receivers aren’t important” cost us many years of losing NFC championship games as Stinkston and Trash were being molested by Ricky Manning Jr. and sundry other less-than-talented cornerbacks.
