Anyone bothered that McNabb STILL has no new contract??

If McNabb cannot play any better then what I have seen from him this year I hope we dn't sign him to any new deal. The good news is his stock is dropping with each game so maybe by the end of the year we can sign him to a smaller contract not risking any big money on him.

Unless his agent or his ego don't like that. He could always chose to go to a team like the 49ers who have a nice solid roster except for QB.

I am not concerned, I am grateful. I know that the fact we spent a 2 on him makes everyone want to sign DMac long term, but that value is already gone. I would say that to this point in time, he has not looked like a franchise QB. Now if they want to sign him to a 3 year deal while they groom his replacement, which personally I wouldn't think he'd agree to, then I would be behind that. Otherwise, if his play doesn't improve or gets worse, let him walk to AZ, MN or SF.

The counter to those who are saying its a good approach would be why cough up a draft pick to Philly then?

However, I think the real thing here is McNabb and his agent want to get inked for a big long term deal. Our guys dont think he deserves that and he has shown nothing to prove that so far. His market value is going down, so we should be able to ink him for a 2-4 years towards the latter end of this season.

The truth is we need him because he is better any other option and we want him there as a solid QB while the next rookie we draft waits in the helm.

I'm not bothered but they need to sign him. They've invested draft picks so no way you let the guy walk after one year... unless they make a trade of their own to let's say San Fran and get back the picks. In McNabb's defense he needs better players around him.

I think a deal will be worked out in the end but Bruce Allen works very methodically, worst comes to worst they franchise him.

As I understand it, the Shanahans would like to lock him up for at least a couple more years though they've been "surprised by how poor his footwork is" (whatever that means)

They're not going to let him walk unless he proves he is just a complete disaster, and I don't see that happening. He's struggled as of late but we're not exactly helping the cause with poor protection at times and drops by the receivers. He'll get on track, not worried.

W/L record is what really counts, and all I know is a year ago we were 2-5 and in a free fall.

True enough.

"surprised by how poor his footwork is" (whatever that means)

Code for how how often he under/overthrows.

You can add anyone you want to the roster but they still cannot catch a ball hitting the ground 5 feet in front of them or 5 feet over their head. He has also made some really bad decisions. I'm not totally against him because he has made some big game winning plays but they are stuck between allot of bad plays. He is becomming our version of Farve.

Im hoping that we draft an "Aaron Rodgers" and let him sit behind Mcnabb for 3 years then he will be our Qb for the future. Mcnabb is just our Game manager Qb for the next few years. If Mcnabb doesnt want to sign with us we will franhchise him and trade him. IMO Mcnabb sucks, but He is a good enough QB to win games Until we find the Franchise QB that we draft.
