kevinklein Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I don't know how I feel right now. McNabb is the best QB the franchise has ever seen but he'll be 30 coming off of a major knee injury. With a blockhead for a coach. It might be time to start this thing over again. New coach. New qb. New team. McNabb comes across as the kind of guy who is still getting better, regardless of his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter Apotheosis Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Man, I kept saying "it would suck if Campbell went on IR after his first game"... turns out it was McNabb who got the shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRex Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 This is an unfortunate incident for this young man. I wish him a full and speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Dam, that sucks for McNabb in the Eagles. Hope he gets better, if he didnt play in the NFC East, I'd be even a bigger fan of his. I have tons of respect for McNabb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnj1125 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Sorry to all the Eagles fans out there. Despite the NFC East dislike for all teams other than the Redskins, I've always respected McNabb along with a few others. SUcks even more because he's my fantasy football QB! If it makes you guys feel any better, I tore my right ACL about 10 years ago and the doctors told me it would take about 6-9 months of rehab to be able to play sports well again and they were right. Granted, I wasn't playing pro sports but I'm sure McNabb will be intense with rehab and the docs know what they're doing. Just look forward to next season. He'll be back and as good as new. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I hate to see that for McNabb. Hopefully he'll be ready for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 That really sucks for the Eagles and the fans that McNabb went out. I thought they had a decent shot at the playoffs. Looks like a repeat of last year. Get well McNabb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The news on McNabb this morning was a bit of brightness amid obscurity. Not too much swelling and he should be able to have surgery in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dockeryfan Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Mcnabb sucks I don't know why, but this made me laugh a little. I think because he is the complete opposite of sucking, and because that is evident to all who watch football. Even still, I laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 It could happen. Carson Palmer's knee was worse, so it all depends on an individual's ability to heal. TO did it quickly. TO didn't have any ligament damage that required surgery. The surgery was for a break. Palmer and McNabb also had the opposite knees injured. McNabb's injured knee is the same leg he uses to plant when he throws. Regardless, it's obvious Palmer's accuracy and consistency have both been affected this year.

I was just using TO as an example of healing time. No one can deny that he healed extremely fast for that injury. Some people heal fast, some slowly. Regardless of the type of injury.

No one can deny that he healed extremely fast for that injury. Some people heal fast, some slowly. Regardless of the type of injury. I see almost no chance that McNabb will be the same player next year that he has been this year. My hopes right now are: He is close to the same level next year. He regains his current state sometime over the course of his career. The nagging thought right now is that we've essentially given away two years right in the middle of McNabb's prime.

pointyfootball Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The news on McNabb this morning was a bit of brightness amid obscurity. Not too much swelling and he should be able to have surgery in the next couple of days. What surprised me was that he couldn't get up. Or maybe he was smart enough NOT to. When I tore mine, I was able to walk on it. Mine swelled up like a balloon though. Course I think I just held a cold beer against it and didn't have quite the medical support/advice Dmac has. Here's to a speedy recovery. Hardest part is the psychological recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, I hope Reid realizes this! Then maybe, just maybe, he'll think about getting a back, or backs, in here and change his offensive philosophy. Stop requiring McNabb to be perfect in order to win games! McNabb's rehab will be 2 months ahead of Palmers, which is a huge amount of time. Provided he doesn't have any set backs, he will be fine for regular season. Don't see him being like he was against the Giants or Cowboys or Titans, but the Eagles shouldn't need him to be that way. 80%McNabb > over 1/2 of NFL QBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're 100% better than last year, but still not good enough in my opinion. God was McMahon awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I both know the Eagles most likely weren't going anywhere this year based on their poor, inconsistent play. And, until Reid changes his offensive philosophy, or at least gets a defense that is ridiculously good (Bears good) they probably won't go anywhere as well. Anyway, it's JEFF GARCIA all the way baby!!! We're going to beat the Colts. Man is this good stuff I'm drinkin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfanevan Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 They'll be lucky to win another game, honestly. Well, I guess they can beat the skins if they just dont stop running the ball on us. Any team can beat us like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
