The always sane Iggles Blog, after Sunday:
Sunday was a terrible day for Eagles fans, but for the Tri-State Area McNabb Bashers Club (TAMBC) it was truly Christmas come early, as the team's QB finally barfed up a game as bad as club members think he always plays.McNabb will be gone after this year, and the McNabb bashers will finally get to enjoy a quarterback who doesn't smile on the sidelines or occasionally make innocuous political pronouncements or speak up when his own wide receiver tries to sabotage him. True, the new QB (Kevin Kolb) won't be proven in any way whatsoever, and he'll have zero career playoff victories to Donovan's nine, and his chances of having any NFL success will be around 50/50, if that. But what's important is, he doesn't smile after losses. It's very important, to have priorities.
Yes, I know I've been beating this drum for three years now, but how perfect a fit would McNabb be for the Vikings? It's his ex-offensive coordinator (Childress), in an offense he knows and is familiar with, and he'll have a superlative running game and offensive line and pretty strong defense- plus the motivation to rejuvenate and prove himself- he's still only 31, after all. Besides, Minnesota fans are the type that will appreciate him, especially after five years of awful quarterback play; he's a Midwestern guy who's got the perfect personality for the Twin Cities.
And won't Reid (assuming he's still in charge) want to help out his pal Chilly? The only drawbacks- the Vikes' receivers aren't much better than the Eagles' now, the cap may be an issue since the Vikes haven't paid a quarterback much since Culpepper left, and there remains a chance Childress himself won't be back.
Still- I want this to happen. I need this to happen.
