You're misinterpreting what pfan is saying. He's not blaming the dead guy, he wishes he were still alive and running that D.

He's a Yankee fan. There is no point.

perhaps those in philly have a better insight, but mcnabb is pretty good.
sure, he has the wacky throws where you don't know what the hell he was doing... and certainly his play in the big game can come under question... but he's put up some incredible numbers with, except for one year with TO, some incredibly shitty wide receivers... dude's still one of the best QB's in the league and they just gave him away to a division rival because they didn't want to hurt his feelings.
amazing here that the giants fan is defending donovan mcnabb.
i understand the eagles reasoning for trading him, and i think the eagles know their window has closed and they need to rebuild/regroup on the fly, but what good does it do to make a division rival better just to make him feel good? on top of it the redskins will now trade jason campbell for a 3rd or 4th round pick, getting back one of the picks they just gave to philly.
the draft is still weeks away... they couldn't have continued to shop him around for another taker?
the only way i'd trade a player of his caliber within the division is if i'm getting a first round pick out of the deal.

I for one am glad the "Raiders are frontrunner for McNabb" story didn't pan out. The Pats need 16 typical JeMarcus Russell games in 2010 so they can get a top 5 pick in the Seymour trade. McNabb might have made the Raiders a 7 or 8 win team.
i am still baffled.

And since next year's draft probably won't be that good, having that pick be in the Top 5 is all the more important.

i agree completely. sure, i've ragged on McNabb a lot, but part of the reason is because i've always had respect for him. i think he makes Washington a contender, and i am also baffled as to why Philly would send a quality QB to a division rival who's biggest weakness is at QB. it's puzzling, and may go down as one of the worst moves in Eagles history.
maybe Kolb is great. i haven't seen enough of him to really make a judgement. here in GB, the coaches put their trust in Aaron Rodgers, and the whole Favre deal will obviously work out in the Packers' favor long term, so maybe that's where the Eagles are going. there's no guarantee that Kolb will be anywhere near as great as Rodgers though.

In this draft, it essentially is a first round pick.
i really only made that statement out of spite... honeslty i never would have made the trade within the division, period.

You see, I don't care. I think you all overrate him. I have watched him for eleven years. He's an incredibly poor thinker, he's not accurate, he shows up out of shape so he can't run anymore, he's injury prone, and he thinks he can dismiss every fuck up with a nice big smile and a laugh. His stats are driven up by the fact that Philly throws the ball at an absurd rate. I just don't feel all that bad about him being on another team, even in the division.
I cannot wait for him to come back to Philly and on the first drive, on some third and 7, watch him call a timeout with 13:52 left in the first quarter. And then on the subsequent play watch him throw behind Santana Moss for an incompletion and then tap his chest and jokingly go "my bad!"

While Limbaugh is an idiot and was completely wrong, I do feel like that in the long run has worked in McNabb's favor as far as criticism goes.
That wouldn't happen. Reid would answer with a timeout on the subsequent play before it could.

Sources: Pittsburgh Steelers trade Santonio Holmes to New York Jets for fifth-rounder - ESPN New York
I love my Steelers, but, if this deal was done due to Holmes' off field troubles, then they're hypocrites because I don't see them dealing Ben any time soon. And you can defend Ben all you want now that the investigation is over, but, he's not exactly a bastion of good or smart behavior.
If this was a strictly football decision (and it's not), then it's just a bad fucking trade for us and a nice jain for the Jets.
The only good that can come of this is that maybe the Steelers get back to what they used to do best...running the ball as their primary offensive strategy, with a creative passing game balancing it out. Ben's awesome off of play action and Mendenhall's only getting better.

What a disappointment that fuck has been.
We have Randle-El back as what I thought was our 3rd WR. Counting on him for more than 50 receptions a season seems foolish, though. Ward's still good but sooner or later that cat has to run out of gas. Maybe the brass thinks that Mike Wallace is ready to step up.
You're telling me. Every time I see him drop a ball, I wince. I don't like the Steelers, not one bit, but I still want my guy to succeed.
Between him and Roy, I just hope Shipley winds up able to make some noise.

Well, Santo is only signed for one year and may be suspended for a few of those games. But still...a fifth? Wow.
