Title: McNabb to the LIONS for #2 pick???
Post by: Tre on January 31, 2007, 11:27:56 AM: Are you kidding me?

Donovan McNabb seems like a nice guy. You'd hate to see something like this happen to him. Getting shipped to the Detroit Lions is like getting sent to Leavenworth. But that's the rumor that's being circulated, both in the Ann Arbor News and in Miami during Super Bowl festivities, that the Eagles could send McNabb to the Lions for the second overall pick in the draft, and in turn use that pick for Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn.

McNabb will speak publicly for the first time since his November knee injury today, and he might be asked about the vocal minority of Eagles fans who would like to see him sent packing. We already know McNabb has some gripes. Would the Eagles really want to get rid of him and build the franchise around a rookie?

That seems highly unlikely. The Eagles could be a legitimate Super Bowl contender in 2007, and bringing in a rookie quarterback would be a rebuilding move. The real story here may be how hungry NFL fans are for any kind of information about their teams. The Eagles have been out of it for two weeks, and the Lions have been out of it for six years. Fans of both teams just want to hear something juicy, and McNabb to the Lions definitely fits.

Him or Quinn probably.

That has to be what they're considering, I'd imagine.

Why not trade Garcia, though? He's worth a first-round pick. ;D

No Iverson, no McNabb...looks like the Philadelphia NAACP will finally get its wish.

Why not? Best QB in Eagles franchise history, outside of Jaworski. Is Garcia more your preference? Tighter ass, maybe?

That's not saying much. That's almost on par with being the best player in Houston Texan history.

They should do it but his value with plenty of years left is a 1st round pick, this year or next, or a good no. of solid picks.
