A couple things..

McNabb has been extremely classy the past 11 years with all his ups and downs. That cant be argued, he's one of the classiest guys in sports. I'm happy for HIM that he can go to the Skins and not the Raiders.

I'm not sure how I feel about trading him to a division rival though. It would be one thing if Shanahan wasnt the coach.. but Shanahan might be real good for McNabb.

The thing that McNabb really needs is a solid and consistant running game. Most QB's need that. That was the thing with McNabb & Philly.. Reid never runs the darn ball. It wasnt McNabbs fault but it was a big reason we never won the big game. Its also not McNabbs fault that he's not a terribly accurate passer. With him you know what you are getting. He'll go 25-30 for 300 yards and 3 tds a couple times.. and he'll throw for 67 yards and lose to teams like Oakland. You just know you are getting a decent, 2nd tier QB (he's not in the top 10 in the league anymore).

The thing that made McNabb special is his ability to run. I have thought ever since he decided to become a real pocket passer, and not run unless he has to, it has diminished what he can accomplish on the field. I'm sure breaking your legs and busting your knee had something to do with that. McNabb of 2001-2004 was a lot different and more dynamic than the McNabb of lately (eventhough he's thrown for more yards the past two years).

I know I'm a McNabb "hater". Though I am much more of a "Why the fucl< cant Reid run the ball more and give McNabb support and sometimes McNabb cant hit the broad side of a barn" hater. It was really time to move on and we got some decent picks for him.. The problem is is that I have no faith in Reid to really capitalize on those picks. Besides Stewart Bradley and Cole, he has really picked some poor defensive players with high picks the past few years. I just hope this trade is not wasted on our end.

I love Kolb, I know he is an unknown, but he is so much more accurate, and the teammates seem to really love him. Ready for the Kolb era, but thanks to McNabb for the memories.. He's been my qb since I was 16 years old, didnt even have my drivers lisence, now I'm 27.. gone through college and on my second job.. Its a big chunk of my life that I rooted for McNabb and the Eagles.
