PrintLurie's thoughts on McNabb - NFC East Blog - ESPN
Maybe this won't work out," said Lurie of the McNabb trade. Maybe it wouldn't have worked out if we kept Donovan. But you can't be risk-averse. You can't be. I think I surround myself with people who are not risk-averse. I'm not risk-averse at all. We're all really confident, but [if] for any reason it [doesn't] work out, then we keep prioritizing that position and go after it."

The Pitts Unlikely for Birds | Eagletarian | 07/20/2010
The Eagles continue to be mentioned in online speculation about free-agent guard (and accomplished oboe player!) Chester Pitts, whose agent is trying to scare up interest in a 31-year-old client coming off microfracture surgery. A team source termed the signing of Pitts "unlikely."

Yeah, after all, they're not "risk adverse."
That’s why they signed Tito Jackson and Terrence Trent D’Arby in the same off season.
...But if he pulls the rug on his quarterback, Reid must do it knowing that he let McNabb down more than McNabb ever let him down.

They are definitely not risk-averse
Because they just signed the only surviving member of Milli Vanilli to play safety and Kris Kross is gonna be the new 1-2 punch in the backfield.

Pfft
Trent Cole in the top 100? Seems pretty ridiculous for an end who’s undersized and not explosive.
??
what? Cole not explosive? you’ve never seen him in a game i guess

My complaint with it...
…is the positional imbalance.
It includes 14 QBs (almost half the QBs in the league?) among its 45 skill-position players, but only 13 offensive linemen.
It includes 19 LBs, but only 5 safeties and 6 CBs.
Doesn’t seem right to me — certainly, league salaries don’t suggest that LBs are valued that highly relative to CBs, for example.
Good point.
It’s kinda like how Motor Trend’s “best” lists don’t compare the latest Maserati to a Ford F-150. They do different things and should be ranked by position (or type).
...But if he pulls the rug on his quarterback, Reid must do it knowing that he let McNabb down more than McNabb ever let him down.
