Because the pick the Eagles made was booed? lol

Isn't damn near every pick the Jets make booed, too? Didn't a bunch of them boo the Sanchez pick? Where's the outcry on them?

The boo at the draft is highly overrated and overhyped.

Oakland: where great talent goes to die.

Anyway, I think it would make Oakland instantly competitive in a weak division. Yes, you lose a franchise CB, but you gain some much MUCH needed structure with a veteran, quality QB.

As for the Iggles, it really scares me as a Cowboys fan. That will make a very attack happy defense that much more potent if they have a true shut-down CB (who also plays the run very well) to isolate one player completely. It'll completely open up their blitzing schemes to even more variations. The only downside is now that D may have to hold up better since they'll have an unproven QB on the field.

I dont think its hyped..

Its just the beginning of the story...If McNabb won a SB and was loved by Eagles fans, that draft would have been forgotten by now...

Sanchez was booed by about 25% of the Jets fans as it didn't seem like a majority to me. Now when McNabb was picked it seemed like all the Eagles fans flipped out.

Yeah...that's false, too.

The only true news bits that came out so far was Reid holding his mini-conference saying all his QBs are tradeable, McNabb releasing his statement that if anything is done, get it done quickly & McNabb calling Reid saying he would like to stay.

That's it. Everything else is hogwash.

Well, most, if not all Eagles fans on here are defending McNabb...so...

They don't genuflect at his altar, yes.

Quote:

I don't know if it's the "once bitten, twice shy" scenario as they absolutely LOVED Randal Cunningham but it was a very acrimonious departure from Philly for him and there really hasn't been anyone on the Eagles since that has gotten that kind of overwhelming support across the board. I could be a bit off on this but that's how I see it from afar.

Randall wasn't loved, either. Just like McNabb, he was liked. As for how Randall left...the organization let him go because he couldn't work the Walsh offense brought in by offensive coordinator John Gruden.

And you are completely wrong saying no other Eagle got overwhelming support.

Brian Dawkins. I don't even have to explain that one.

Jeremiah Trotter was loved. Ike Reese was adored. That's why Ike is a weekday host on WIP.

Brian Westbrook. Dude could damn near do no wrong. Eagles fans kissed his feet.

John Runyan was embraced plenty.

And now, Desean Jackson. You should see all the #10 jerseys around here.

T.O. was LOVED here. L-O-V-E-D. When he was tossed, people here were upset beyond belief. That is another reason McNabb isn't loved because he had a hand in T.O. leaving.

So, your statement is completely false.

Except for the Andy Reid part, your post is full of crap.

Anybody that enjoys coming up short of a title when your team is always favored to win OR enjoys settling for just being "competative" is a mindblowing wussy punk.

That's like getting your chick in the mood, but you can't hit it right, yet you fully expect her to think your the king. Maybe once or twice she'll forgive ya, but if you keep coming up small, that bitch will dump your ***.

Thirty morons sent up there whose only purpose was to cause havoc doesn't represent an entire city. Just like those Jets fans don't represent all of New York.

Those thirty butt clown aka The Dirty Thirty were organized by WIP morning idiot Angelo Cataldi. He geared those fools to the mindset of "Ricky Williams and no one else". They booed the pick, not McNabb. They would've booed Tim Couch, Edgerrin James and everyone else not named Ricky Williams. Cataldi still catches hell for that stunt and he regrets ever getting that stunt started.

I haven't heard the Nnamdi rumor, but I did hear that Oakland would part with their second pick (39th overall) for McNabb, and that this is in the range Philly is looking for.

McNabb to Oakland makes them instantly competitive, and for a second, it's a steal, imo.
