stinky finger

New coaching staff plus new D being implented (new players?) plus other pieces needed (OL, WR, TE) plus bringing in McNabb who would be learning a new system doesn't mean we pick up where we left off. Last years successes(?) have no bearing on this team next year just as last years failures(!) won't. We'd essentially be blowing up both sides. They'd have to come together simultaneously and ahead of schedule, IMO, for us to be successful that quickly. I just don't see it.

Some would have you believe that ALL we have to do is plug in McNabb all is well. Playoffs? Maybe SB? *BUZZER* Wrong

Berman's leaving ESPN?!?!?! Hmmmm, I might just tune in now to get me some NFL fix. On second thought, maybe not. There are still others there that make me ill. Berman topped the list, though. Problem is, I love NFLN. If he goes there, he'd better stop his OLD TIRED SCHTICK! It's akin to marching Th Who out at halftime. Past his PRIMETIME!

Honestly, I could care less. I'm usually filling my plate or beer mug and mingling during halftime. BUT.....if the well runs dry, the food eaten and the company unbearable........ Gather what's left of Skynyrd and let 'em roll........southern style.

I love LE, but he'll be constantly doubled as there is no viable option in this offense as we see it. Our D personnel isn't exactly 3-4 ready. All the Packers had to do was focus on the D side of the ball. We're behind the curve on both sides of the ball. I understand McNabb would be an upgrade, but we're not ready for him. Minny would be should Favre retire. Not us. We're not that close.

Taking McNabb out of his comfort zone (Reid and his offense) in addition to learning a new offensive set tells me he wouldn't be nearly as effective moving forward. I don't believe that by just plugging him we'd benefit from his previous success. It's not like everything else in place. Implementing a new defense will also hinder immediate success.

I'll agree with this, too. How about a 4th?

Payton would've won with Fitz at the helm? Not to mention the rest of the crap we have. Good players make good coaches.

Absolutely agree. McNabb is not the answer. We're not ready to win. It would be a waste of resources to bring him in.

I agree with your assessment, but why would an organization give up such a good pick (2/3) for such a slug? I don't see anything special in him whatsoever. Compound this with the off field escapades, I'd let him walk for less.

I disagree. There is no way in hell the Saints can stop the Colt offense from anything they want to do. Whereas, Mr. Brees needs to show me something. He looked less than spectacular against the Vikes. I wonder about him in a big spot. We'll see, but I like the Colts BIG in this game.

I gotta wait until @#$%ing tomorrow?!?! Is Buddy a football guy or not?

Just wait and see? How long do we have to wait?

Best of luck, AVP. Though we'll hardly know you're gone.

I am with you on everything but...........this

Makes me wonder how the hell the Blues have managed to stay alive.

Undoubtedly a firtst ballet HOfer. One of the best pure passers I've seen. I always liked him and found it easy to root for him.

While I respect an opinion, this one is really.......really dramatic. geez.....

When you procure a set, come see me. I'll oblige.

If he's brought in, it has to be with the idea that we intend to win now. I submit we're at least 2 years away. Why bother exhausting the valuable resources it would take? By the time we're ready to take off, it'll be over for him.

First of all, leave my recreational practices outta this! Secondly, I didn't ASK for him. Lastly, welcome to the board.

All 3 QBs you mentioned are, IMO, considerably better than McNabb. If you believe (not saying you do, MDH) that DM has anywhere between 3-5 "good" years remaining, and Philly is in "win now" mode, why not stay the course with DM? I understand Philly's philosophy of jettison the good player a year early than a year late, but don't you think they have gone as far with him as they could?

whack-a-mole?

Agreed. Problem is, Philly realizes their best shot at success comes with the kid. They realize DMs best days are behind him. If DM can't be their savior, he certainly can't be ours. Otherwise, why would they dangle him?

Not in Buffalo he doesn't. Minny would be his fit. Childress and McNabbs familiarity with the offense plus they're ready to win. McNabb is not the missing piece in Buffalo. We're much further away. I think the question is, those who want McNabb, do you think we can win now? I think we're a good 2 real good drafts and offseason acquisition seasons away.
