the eagles do not have the heart of a champion my friend
they gave away so many games this year, i certainly can't disagree.
also, if you don't mind some constructive criticism, i think they should have dumped donovan last year.
I think teams would've been too suspicious of his injury if they tried to trade him last year. Also, Donovan is one of the greatest quarterbacks of his era, right behind the top tier of Brady and Manning. The one year the Eagles got him a great receiver they went to the Super Bowl, and came damn close to winning it. Hell, McNabb almost led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2003, when his 3 best receivers were James Thrash, Todd Pinkston, and Freddie Mitchell. People need to get off McNabb's jock. I don't have a problem with the Eagles trading him if they really think that's in their best interests. However, I'd much rather see him stay.
donovan is one of the greatest quarterbacks of his era? thanks for making me spit coffee all over my damn keyboard, jerk! first of all, bringing an nfc team to the superbowl doesn't impress me. secondly, the receiver you are talking about is probably going to the superbowl this year and was a play away last year, speaking more to his ability to get there than the qb's. besides, look at manning this year still getting it done without harrison and brady has never had the same receiving corps twice. and last, but certainly not least in the least...
'great' quarterbacks put together some kind of drive on the final possession of the damn superbowl. i'm not saying they punch it in every time, but they put something together. donovan vomits in the huddle in that situation. see the difference?
i could make a long list of mcnabb-era qbs who are better than donovan, but you are aware that you just put him ahead of the all time passing leader, no?
I don't remember all the details of the game, but the Eagles were down by 2 scores, and McNabb DID drive them down the field to score a TD. People picked on him because he didn't run the 2 minute drill as quickly as he should've, but he did score once. The Eagles even got the ball back but didn't have much time left, had to force some plays, and I think McNabb had an INT at the very end. I think McNabb is a great quarterback when healthy.
Also, in regards to the Favre comment. He sucked most of the 2000s.
Lastly, you can trash talk the NFC all you want, but the NFC East has been a harder place to play than the Pats division practically every year in the last 25.
