Believe it or not, the question was proposed to Eagles head coach Andy Reid at the NFL owners meetings yesterday.
Here’s how Reid responded:
“I’m surprised by the fact that he didn’t have the success after leaving Philly. I wasn’t there. I’m not sure how that worked. I still felt when he left here that he had 2 or 3 years of great football. It didn’t work out that way for him. I haven’t entertained that last part of the question. I haven’t gone there. I think it’s tough for a guy that’s been the guy for that long to come back.”
I doubt he will return, but the Eagles (meaning Andy Reid) love Mcnabb.

Will Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles select a quarterback early in the 2012 NFL draft? That is a popular question right now and one I’ve been back and forth on in my head since the end of last season.

Oh, Donovan. Why do you keep doing this?
