6. Frankly I think that Philly shot itself in the ass with the McNabb trade
Furthermore they were rather harsh with him as well. The man works his whole career with subpar receivers, does well in spite of said shitty receiving corp, and now, when they finally have a good receiving corp, they trade McNabb to Washington.

You're right, Kolb isn't the man, and frankly neither is Vick. Vick's legs are getting old, and he was never a stellar passer. However I think that Philly isn't going to draft a QB this year, at least not the next franchise QB. I think without McNabb's leadership and passing ability, they're going fail to make the playoffs for the next couple of years, then Reid is either going to be fired or resign out of disgust(and I won't blame him) and some new coach is going to come in, clean house and rebuild the team. It's going to a good five years before Philly approaches anything near playoff status again, and that's if things go decently well.

Frankly as something of a Philly fan, I'm pissed at the front office. Really now, just when they had all the pieces they needed for a serious run at the Super Bowl this year, they go and toss away McNabb. What the fuck were they thinking? At this point I hope that McNabb and the 'Skins beat Philly like a drum every time they meet just to imprint upon the front office just how stupid they were.
