What the he** are eagles doing?


Here is one of the crazy things form the weekend.. What the He** did the Eagles just do? They gave away not only their franchise greatest player, but they gave him a division rival. Ever since Donovan McNabb has been an Eagle he has been treated with little to no respect. The fans wanted Ricky Williams and on Draft day he was booed. Ricky Williams smoked his career away and probably would have been killed if he wen to Philly. He has taken the team to five NFC title games and one Super Bowl. He is not the reason they have not won the big game but he gets blame when they lose and never gets credit when they win. He once threw four touchdown passes in a game on a broken ankle. He completed a fourth and 26 against Green Bay in a playoff game. He has battled Warner, Favre, Brady, Mannings,( Eli and Peyton), Vick, and Rothlisberger just to name a few. He should be a Philadelphia icon. He should be revered like Iverson, but because he never won the Super Bowl, he will never get the love that he deserved. He is not Dr. J, Moses, Mike Schmidt, Ron Hextall, or Pete Rose. He is the most disrespected superstar of my generation. He has done nothing wrong to anyone. Terrell Owens threw him under a bus. He just led this team to the playoffs despite not have one of their key running backs. The Eagles released him too. The team just drafted several talented receivers in the last two seasons for him to play with. Kevin Kolb may be the second coming of Brett Favre but he is no Donovan McNabb. Now McNabb goes to Washington to be tutored by Mike Shanahan. Shannahan has had John Elway, Steve Young, and now gets a hungry McNabb. He gets a hungry Clinton Portis, and a young receiving corp that has under achieved. They have great tight ends who can stretch the field. Chris Cooley is already a pro bowl tight end. Fred Davis is a budding star. I am scratching my head. Micheal Vick and Kevin Kolb will battle for the job. Kolb was great in college and can throw the ball through a wall if needed. Vick has been compared to McNabb his entire life. He was supposed to go to Syracuse and replace McNabb there, but chose Virginia Tech. He has to be wondering what his future holds.
The Eagles also could have had Albert Haynesworth but chose a second round pick instead. Whoever this pick is, he better be ready to have his life scrutinized for the next 15 years...
