I've just been thinking here. As a die-hard Eagles fan and insane NFL lover, I find it hard to think about anything not NFL related ;)
Did the Eagles make the wrong choice when they let T.O. go and held onto McNabb??? I'm actually leaning toward yes at this point.
When T.O. was run out of town, McNabb was treated like a victim, like T.O. had somehow assaulted him. All T.O. did was pretty much what he has done everywhere he has been, he TOLD THE TRUTH. When he thought his QB wasn't getting it done, he said so. When he wanted the ball more, he said so. And what did he do??? He put up HUGE numbers and tried to get his team a Lombardi trophy. He was crucified in this city for criticizing the "Icon" Andy and Lurie have bought into so blindly. Anyone who levies criticism on McNabb in this town gets shown the door. 3 people mentioned how "tired" and "out of it" McNabb was in the SB, Mitchell, T.O., &
Hank Fraley. All of whom were then let go.
All T.O. does is speak his mind and put up numbers. He's not a cancer like everyone thought he was. And he's not a guy that bitches and moans about garbage and doesn't perform on the field. He may not be the smartest guy with what he says, but he is one of the biggest playmaking WRs in recent history.
I know hindsight is 20-20, but I think the Eagles would've been just fine had they dealt Mcnabb to the Bears for Briggs and a pick, Held on to T.O. and Garcia (despite their history, I think it would've worked out), and drafted Kolb for the future. McNabb is ALWAYS hurt and recently seems to put the blame on everyone but himself. I'm just sick of the whole "victim" mantra with him.
Ship his ass out ASAP!!!
