Vikings shouldnt wait till favre makes a decision and deal the #30 overall pick to Philadelphia.

What if Favre decides he just cant endure another season physically and mentally and the Vikes miss out on McNabb?

Make the trade Vikings. Thoughts?

I don't coach him everyday, do you? I wouldn't trade him for a first, more than likely a second, on his record. Unless of course I knew that he wasn't totally commited, there has to be a reason.

Vikes should make the trade just in case Favre decides he cant hand the rigor of another NFL season.

here's the bottom line, Donovan McNabb makes your team better with the exception of perhaps INDY and NEW ORLEANS, he puts up top 5 numbers every year without a wide receiver corp and without ANY running game what-so-ever, and don't give ma T.O.(ringless T.O.) he's one guy, and jackson just got here, for all of his career todd pinkston and reggie brown were the best WRs he's had, and he won with that, give me one other QB thats has had as much success with less, just one, ANY one

So, you're saying that your top three NFL QBs are Manning, Brees (or flip-flopped), THEN MCNABB?

The guy who coaches Mcnabb everyday doesn't want him, this has been going on for a few years. That would concern me, it can't be his record because he does win, i stilll think the only problem left could be his drive to be a champion. Of course TO did say as much but his crediblity is somewhat questionable but makes you wonder.

You are crazy if you think McNabb at his age and contract status is going to yeild a first round pick.  For God sakes... Randy Moss in his prime only got a 4th round pick from NE.  Unless MIN decides to become desperate like BUF did for Bledsoe years ago that ain't happening.  The best that PHI could get would be a 2nd round pick.  I personally do not want to see McNabb on my team.  I think he is perhaps the most intellectually challenged QB I have ever seen.  I will pass thinks.  Plus I do think Farve comes back for one last year.

Also, sounds like Colt McCoy might be around until early 2nd round.  That means MIN could take him with their first round pick.  We will see.  Of course, I am not a big McCoy fan either.

Bad compairison since McNabb didn't have all the off field problems and on field with coaches.   This is why Moss went for a 4th.  If he wasn't hitting traffic cops. getting caught with blunts, walking off the field with a chance to still win and not listening to coaches and taking off plays, then he would have been worth much more.

no...what i said was he has done more with less than any other QB over the last 10 years, no running game and no WRs and he still managed to put up top 5 numbers and went to 5 NFC championship games, as for his desire, guys take 6 weeks off with "turf toe"(whatever that is), donovan played an entire half on a "broken leg"( i know what that is, probably hurts more than turf toe)

why would the vikings or any team want a QB who doesnt know the rules of football ....look at the OT rules .....you cant tell me a Pro player doesnt know about overtime rules .... oops ...yes there is one ..((MCNABB)) would rather have Joe Kapp come out of retirement ...
jesron1269 says:

It is an excellent comparison.  Two big name players at skill positions.  Both had their own problems (you indicated Moss' and I talked about McNabb's above).  In the NFL it doesn't matter your problems as any problems are too much when trading draft picks.

MDAAKD says:
03/28/10 02:00PM

I disagree.  Big Ben and Brady didn't have an all-star supporting cast at the skill positions.  Hell, McNabb had Westbrook during the 2000s and we all know he was ridiculous. 

wickedj says:
03/28/10 03:10PM

As mentioned, you can't compare a guy with a great on and off field image to a guy that has been a constant problem on and off the field.

 

 

With that being said, I think McNabb will be traded and if Minnesota did trade a late 1st, I would hardly call it desperation, since they would win a Super Bowl with him.  McNabb would have better weapons all around and one of the best D's he's ever had.

 

Just my opinion, but I do think the Old Gun Slinger will be back to choke again.   Personally, Minny would be better going with McNabb and having a guaranteed QB for the next 4 years.  With Favre, you get one more year at best.

ok, i did a little research, here's what i found, big bens supporting casts; santonio holmes...hines ward...plaxico burress...randle-el...willie parker...heath miller....and some guy named JEROME BETTIS, their defense has been pretty good over the past 7 years too.

now brady's; randy moss...wes welker...dante stallworth...troy brown...david patten...dion branch...ben watson...cory dillon, and if i'm not mistaken their defense was pretty good as well during brady's rein.

now McNabb; in 2000 he had darnell autry, todd pinkston, and james thrash, they 11-5, in 01 and 02, staley, pinkston, and thrash, 11-5, 12-4 respectivley, 03, westbrook, pinkston, and thrash, 12-4, 04, westbrook, OWENS, and thrash, 13-3, 05, westbrook, reggie brown, and greg lewis, 06, westbrook, brown, and stallworth, 10-6, 07, westbrook, brown, lewis, and kevin curtis.

not to mention, donny's been selected to the same number of pro-bowls as your two guys COMBINED...5

There is also the issue why Ried is willing to let Mcnabb go, he thought his team did just as well with garcia at the helm. He think he can replace him and his system will be as productive. I am not sure but he coaches him everyday like i said.
tmstr929 says:
03/28/10 04:53PM
i'm not so sure ried is "willing" to let him go, i believe it's pressure from the top, that being said, ried is no idiot, if he can get a big bump in his draft possion, he may be willing to allow his young QB/WRS develope together, especially if he can get a step in RB out of the pick, ya know what i mean?

Im sick of hearing people say they havent seen enough out of "KOLB" not "COBB" (Get his name right b4 u make a point) Didnt aikman go 1-15 his 1st season with dallas...   U idiots just dont get it, its just time to move on and begin a new era... 49ers traded montana who is 1 of the best qbs of all time and the packers got rid of favre who is also 1 of the best... why cant every1 just understand this its not that difficult... there trading him while hes still got worth which is smart on there part

APPLEST says:
03/28/10 07:13PM

OK then how the fuck did aj feely go 4-0 with those same players... mcnabb was a product of a system cause if u notice whenever he got hurt and another qb stepped in they didnt miss a beat and still won games... O and he might of been to 5 pro bowls but a few of them including this year he was an alternate for other qbs who dropped out

carj says:

I was talking about Reid not believing in Mcnabb, though a second round pick for a playoff QB is same nothing. I don't think you should compare Kolb to a first overall pick and a multiple Superbowl winner, Aikmen. I still would stick with my veteran over a second because reality is the playoffs in the NFL in that division is going to be difficult. You can bump this if you remember, they won't make the playoffs without Mcnabb or at least someone like Garcia. Reid continues to throw the ball too much and most QB's can't excel in that situation.

Brady didn't have anyone to work with in the early 2000s and he won often.  Sure, now he has Welker and Moss, but he hasn't won a Lombardi trophy with them.  Same with Big Ben, his supporting cast in 2005 wasn't anything special.  It wasn't anything special in 2008 either.  I would take Westbrook over Bettis and/or Dillon in the 2000s.  He put up monster numbers on the ground and in receiving.  Philly's defense wasn't too shabby either under Jim Johnson.  They had a killer secondary and a great blitz scheme.  Point is that McNabb isn't even a top ten in the league today.  I would start Brady, Manning, Favre, Rodgers, Big Ben, Rivers, Brees, Schaub, Romo, and Ryan over McNabb.

 exactly!!!  u get it my friend... Thats why the patriots busted a load all over themselves when seattle traded a 1st round pick for deion branch... they knew it was all brady, what has branch done since... its ashame mcnabb couldnt have had receivers like david patten,deion branch,troy brown,david givens etc.. cause maybe he would have as many super bowls as brady with playmakers like this     if mcnabb is still that good then why arent the eagles getting a 1st round pick 4 him? hes still elite right?  lol give me a break

Reid not believing in McNabb................

You continue to spew that nonsense. Reid not believing in McNabb. McNabb not taking football seriously. On and on.

First off.........I don't believe that McNabb will be traded. And if I am wrong. It will be the Eagles loss.

If he does go...it will have NOTHING to do will belief. Andy Reid went to the NFC Championship game 5 times. He went there BECAUSE of Donavan McNabb. No receivers. Limited PURE running game. Sure, Westbrook was a hell of a weapon. But he was just a dangerous in the passing game. He was not a protoypical running back.

If the Eagles do get rid of McNabb it will be because of ECONOMICS. His contract is up........they don't want to pay him. PERIOD. Andy Reid trusts McNabb. Andy Reid believes in McNabb. Andy Reid is a the head football coach of the Philadelphia Eagles because of Donavan McNabb.

I don't know wether he will trade mcnabb but if he does he doesn't believe in him period, every team in the league is paying QB's outrageous amounts so why not pay Mcnabb. They are paying bums crazy amounts...I believe Mcnabb would resign for a reasonable amount....a second round pick in exchange for one year for a QB you say Ried believes in? I think I would take the year over pick and let him become a free agent.

How are you a proven winner because you've been to 5 nfc champ games and lost 4 of them?  by my math thats a .200 winning percentage........not very impressive.

ironlionzion722 says:
03/29/10 01:59PM
Trading McNabb for the 30th pick is stupid hes not worth a first round pick period.  If he couldn't win it with the eagles teams hes had its because of him not the team around him.
jesron1269 says:
03/29/10 04:22PM


... I have said all along what makes people believe that McNabb is worth a first round pick by any stretch of the imagination.  I think they will be lucky to get a 2nd round pick.  MIN traded Daunte Culpepper in his prime (which we can all laugh at now I guess) and only got a 2nd round pick.  The prescedent isn't there for a first round pick with McNabb's age and salary issues.
MDAAKD says:
03/29/10 05:06PM
Jesron, you know I agree with you on almost everything because you're a great football mind, but I have to disagree with you on Daunte.  He tore his ACL, PCL, and MCL = damaged goods.  That was 2005 I believe and he hasn't been the same since.
jesron1269 says:
03/29/10 05:09PM


Oh I know and completely agree with you but he came off of back to back MVP like seasons so that was definately taken into consideration with the trade I am sure.  My point is anyone being traded is probably being traded because they have some defects some where.  In this case it is McNabb's age and contract status.  We will see but I would rather see MIN use that first round draft pick for a DT, CB or S... in that order.  BOL!

ya hes been to 5 nfc championship games and he lost 3 of those as a FAVORITE, he also had a #1 defense to help him get to those games so it wasnt all mcnabb even tho you wanna believe it was... awwww poor mcnabb give me a break!! he makes millions of dollars and he still crys about getting booed... stop catering to this guy... ron jaworski got it way worse in philly by the fans than mcnabb but you wouldnt know that because you obviously listen to everything the national media tells u... and for a guy that cares so much about winning he laughs an awful lot after he throws an interception.. he can take that nonsense to oakland and lets see how much he laughs then  

APPLEST says:
03/31/10 06:15PM

That least intercepted thing is the most overrated stat i have ever heard and i hear mcnabb supporters always bring it up... hey pal guess who owned that record b4 mcnabb....   NEIL O DONNELL...  And for a guy who doesnt get intercepted he threw 3 interceptions in the super bowl when it really matters so your lame ass stat doesnt do anything for me... MCNABB has been to 5 nfc championship games because lets face it he will get the credit if they win those games... Hes a franchise QB making millions so in my opinion he should shoulder all the blame when they lose but instead he wants to blame everyone else or blame the "youth" like he did last year... hes a choke artist and if you cant accept that then thats to bad

excellent i agree

jesron1269 says:
04/04/10 10:11PM
See told you that McNabb wasn't worth a first round pick.  In the NFL for a team to trade a first round pick (no matter where in the first round the pick is) is a big deal.  BOL!
tmstr929 says:
03/31/10 12:56PM
well that answers the question of WHY would the eagles deal McNabb...andy ried is a fucking football genius, and it doesn't matter if donovan mcnabb, kevin kolb, or i QB this team, if thats the case them by all means deal him, as for his pro-bowls, it's still 5, big ben has been to 1 as a starter or alternate, and brady 4, either as a starter ao an alternate, my point is donovan makes 30 teams in the nfl better thats all i was saying, and eagles fans DO appreciate what he has done here, not ALL but MOST fans anyway
tmstr929 says:
03/31/10 01:11PM
ok, here we go, NOOO, HE hasn't been to 5 NFC Championships, THE EAGLES have, secondly, the EAGLES (not donovan) haven't had a #1 defense since buddy left, thirdly,Donovan McNabb has never once even mentioned being booed on draft day, NOT ONCE, SO I'm not sure I'm the one in this debate getting his facts from the national media, and lastly, If in fact he laughs after throwing interceptions, he must not laugh to often since he has been the intercepted QB in the league since he got here, and that in itself is pretty amazing since he is running an offense that THROWS the ball 80% of the time.
