McNabb's Gambit

Big news in the Eagles/McNabb soap opera, via ESPN's Mike Smith:

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and Eagles brass held a lengthy meeting last week, where last season's Week 12 benching and the subject of a contract extension were discussed, a source told ESPN.

Independent of the meeting, the source said that McNabb may hold off on further extension talks until he sees how the Eagles improve themselves in the offseason via free agency and/or trades.

It'll be interesting to see how the WIP/crazy fan conventional wisdom comes down on this. On the one hand, it's McNabb talking, and we all know whenever he says or does anything it's always bad. But on the other hand, he's calling for additional offensive weapons, on which he's the same side as every angry talk show caller.

I mean, come on Eagles fans, who would you rather have going into the year- McNabb, or a Tarvaris Jackson/Sage Rosenfels platoon?
