scribo Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Let's not forget McNabb chose to attend and play for Syracuse.
scribo Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I hope he gets traded somewhere else and fast. All he would be here is a short term player and he would help sell a few tickets. It wouldn't do any good for the Bills in the long run. Nobody remember Drew Bledsoe? I understand your comparison, but McNabb has a lot more tread on his tires than Drew did when he rode into Buffalo. I also think McNabb has a more competitive edge that he will spread throughout whatever team he ends up on. I would be happy to see him in Bills blue for the right price (no more than our 2nd round pick).
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 Some interesting angles (and a new player in the DMac Sweepstakes) from Sal Paolantonio (who seems to be well-connected in Philly): http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/03/25/a...eam-for-mcnabb/ Paolantonio doesn’t see how at this point the Eagles can bring McNabb back as the starter in 2010 in light of how everything has shaken out. “They have put Donovan McNabb in a really untenable position where he can’t possibly succeed in 2010 for the Philadelphia Eagles,” said Paolantonio. ”First, he wanted an extension and they didn’t give it to him, and now they might be trying to trade him and may not. How can you try to trade a guy who has no extension beyond this year? You’ve made him the lamest of lame duck quarterbacks. You’ve alienated McNabb. You’ve undermined his authority to lead the team in the locker room. I think going forward if they don’t trade him they’re going to be opening themselves up to all sorts of ridicule and lots of second guessing.” Paolantonio reiterated the teams that were in the hunt for McNabb’s services, those being the St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos (a team he said that’s now out of it), Cleveland (now out of it too). Then he also mentioned Arizona and Minnesota as possibilities as well as a darkhorse team. “There’s one team in this that nobody is talking about and that’s the San Francisco 49ers,” he said. ”They have the 13th and 16th pick in the first round and Mike Singletary wants to win that division and believes that he can do it now. I think the 49ers are a team that is worth investigating.” Paolantonio also stated that the Eagles have to have this situation resolved by the time the draft is over being of the belief that bringing him back after all this brouhaha about being open to moving him. “They’ve got a month to figure it out,” he said.
Fan in Chicago Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Some interesting angles (and a new player in the DMac Sweepstakes) from Sal Paolantonio (who seems to be well-connected in Philly):http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/03/25/a...eam-for-mcnabb/ I highly doubt any team will give up its first pick for McNabb. As for the 49ers, if they acquire McNabb it will be tantamount to having given up on Alex Smith once and for all. I do agree with the article that the Eagles may have lost leverage due to the public knowledge that he is being shopped around. Now they pretty much have to take what they can get unless it becomes a bidding war.
Lurker Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I do not understand why he wouldnt want to come here, yet he says he will go to St.Louis. We have a much better roster and we know he doesnt mind the weather. No QB wants to play in weather if they can avoid it. Farve is the model the older guys are looking at...play in a dome 8 games a year vs. wind/horizontal rain/snow. Not a hard decision to make, actually.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 This could very well come down to a day 1 deal, depending on how the top of the first round shakes out. If Bradford & Claussen both go before 9...

Funny that the 49ers are mentioned, since that was the team involved in the fake ESPN report that surfaced two weeks ago.
