I'm hoping, until the second he puts up that Bronco jersey and if he does, I will be **** disgusted with Joe Banner and Andy.

Give up those picks for Boldin. Then sign Housh.

So the Eagles could have had Boldin and T.J. Houshmandzadeh?

I guess the FO wants to give McNabb a big FU for his request to improve the team. Really sad.

Same old management, they go for the quite non spoken players who help win, not that I have a problem with that...but I want a super bowl championship, not regular season wins.

Its more like, they think they don't need any really good receivers, who can catch or get separation from defenders, even though Andy likes to throw it every down. I still can't figure out how they can rationalize that. This team could have at least 1 or 2 Superbowls recently on if they really cared too.

I was looking over McNabbs career numbers last night, god dam, this guy is one amazing quarterback, imagine he hadn't missed almost 2.5 seasons of action with injuries

this guy can play, give him one, not even two, just one above average receiver last few years, we are the New England Patriots...I really think we would of won at least 3 super bowls.

If only T.O had not bitched like a ****...

Actually, do you think he misses any time from injury if the team actually invested in receivers over the years? His body has taken more of a beating since Andy wants to throw all the time and he has had to hold the ball longer (at times) while his receivers tried to get open. Or he had to try to make something happen with his legs. I think most of his injuries came from situations like those too.

The ACL I would have called a freak one though.

Really is depressing to think what could have been, if the team had been intelligent. Instead they like having a lot of room under the cap.

True about TO. Sounds like TO's Agent is the mean reason why the Eagles didn't trade for Boldin.
