Walking Deadman Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm POSTED 12:20 p.m. EST, February 3, 2008 RAVENS PONDER A RUN AT McNABB It's a theory that many Ravens fans (and more than a few Eagles fans) were peddling to us two weeks ago, after former Eagles assistant coach John Harbaugh landed in Baltimore as the new coach of the local football club. Could the Ravens try to make a trade for Philly quarterback Donovan McNabb? The potential move has some superficial appeal, given the Ravens' ongoing struggles to find a quarterback who can consistently play effectively. But why would Baltimore want another aging quarterback with a propensity to get injured? They tried that approach with Steve McNair in 2006, and it really hasn't worked out too well. Regardless, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Ravens are pondering a play for McNabb. If the Ravens decide to go forward, the challenge will be coming up with a trade package that the Eagles would accept. We've suspected for months that Philadelphia has been pretending that they plan to keep McNabb in an effort to hijack someone for a couple of first-round picks. Then again, if Harbaugh is privy to what the Eagles plan to do, he might be in position to help get something done for fair value to all involved.

Boy2Der Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 McNabb can play, he is not washed up he has injuries problem yes but by no means is he washed up. The fact that he ended last season realitively healthy and has the whole offseason to stay in shape makes him worth picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG4Life Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 How about Baltimore try this Troy Smith kid out and maybe get some a veteran or two to back him up? I don't know why they would not think that they are officially in rebuidling mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Another washed up old QB with bad knees? I see a pattern here. McNabb started playing better toward the end of the year. It takes a full year to recover from the injury he had. He could be the McNabb of old by next season which would benefit the Ravens greatly. And how is McNabb old when he is younger than Peyton Manning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana89Moss Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I can't imagine him in another jersey. I don't think he's worth a first round pick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
