Why are you all bitching at the eagles giving him up for so cheap? The Panthers gave up Peppers for absolutely nothing. McNabb will help a team like the Redskins, he wont save them, still he is easily worth a 2nd.

why are you comparing 2 totally different situations?

Sooo let the Campbell to Carolina rumors begin!

Bad idea. Campbell hardly qualifies as the kind of solid, low-risk vet they need in a backup.

Eagles must be ready to trade up the draft for a QB.

They have Kolb and like him. Why would they do that?

I would like to see Campbell here.

See above.

Great move by the eagles... The skins basically sold their 2nd and 3rd round pick for a one year rental. It is almost a guaranteed lockout after this season and while the eagles are reloaded with talent the skins are oft with a 35 year old washed up qb who cost them two good picks
Assuming a lockout, the one who took the bigger risk is the Eagles. Even if McNabb is only a short-term solution, that's all the Redskins really need anyway since they are in a win-now mode (well, more like stuck there for years with their FA moves with nothing to show for it).

The Eagles are less likely to find a Day 1 starter with that 2nd round pick and that future pick is useless if there are no games to be played.

As for talk about bringing Campbell here, I don't want another QB that needs rebuilding like Carr.

One thing for certain: Andy Reid has pushed every single one of his chips to the center of the table. He's all in, and Kevin Kolb is arguably the biggest gamble he's ever taken.

In truth, Reid's gamble is infinitely bigger than the one Fox is taking. McNabb certainly has his flaws, but he's done well in the WCO and was coming off a good season. Sure there were fans who wanted him gone, but I seriously doubt they were the majority. In relief, Kolb has looked decent, but not "world beater" good.

By contrast, Jake Delhomme had followed up an awful playoff game with an equally awful season. In came Matt Moore, who played well enough to win early on and got better with each start. Yes, he's still something of an unknown, but going with him over Delhomme was nowhere near the "holy crap" move as trading McNabb (to a division rival, mind you).

As a side note, I always pick the wrong day to not keep up on football news :nonod:

why are you comparing 2 totally different situations?

Two star players for two organizations, both slightly past or passing their prime age, both of them playing their entire careers with one team. The difference being the positions they play and the eagles actually received compensation.

Unfortunately if you look close enough this situation has more similarities than differences. I understand the circumstances for both teams are different (not going to go into the tagging/Delhomme nonsense) but the fact remains that as of now each organization is now without said player, but the Eagles got picks for their declining star. I personally think BOTH teams got a deal. McNabb is an above average QB but the next few years will most likley be his decline, I don't think he is another Favre.

It's not like they haven't been talking about it on ESPN for over a week. It was just a matter of working out a trade.

Yeah, but when I suggested it was Washington, exactly a week ago, it was met with someone basically laughing and saying "no way"...

Nobody has really been saying Washington was in the mix either...
