Oh the drama...will it ever go away?!?
So Donny boy isn't satisfied with the offensive weapons currently on the Eagles. I don't argue that the Eagles' talent couldn't use a upgrade at spots, but at the same time it's not as pathetic as everyone is making it seem. There are some pieces already in place, otherwise you don't finish ranked in the top-10 in offense two straight seasons.
Any if you look at the teams that McNabb would be rumored to be going to if Big Red gives him the boot, well the Eagles in comparison look pretty damn talented.
Outside of Peterson, the Vikings top offensive talents are Bobby Wade, Bernard Berrian, and Visanthe Shiancoe. Maybe it's me but I would rather have the group of Westbrook, DeSean Jackson, Kevin Curtis, and Jason Avant to throw to.
The Chicago Bears top offensive threats are Matt Forte, Greg Olsen, Devin Hester, and Rashied Davis. Again, as a group, I will take the Eagles talent.
So be careful what you wish for Donovan. The grass isn't always greener elsewhere

Reggie Brown, Lorenzo Booker Equals Unhappiness
Are the rumors around McNabb's comments true? Or is everything being blown out of proportion because there isn't much else going on with the Eagles?
This off-season should be filled with drama...unfortunately.
And silly me actually read a Dave Spadaro article this morning and caught the following tid-bit regarding Lorenzo Booker:
"They [Eagles] are going to look again at Lorenzo Booker and see if there is something he can add to the offense in his second season here."
Getting very mad over here. Combine the Lorenzo Booker comment with the past comments of Tom Heckert that Reggie Brown would also be back next year and you begin to hope that the McNabb comments are true.
Give 'em hell Donovan! I hope all your teammates back up your comments. The Eagles' Front Office needs to react!

McNabb, Just Being One of Us
If I recall correctly one of the reasons that Reid benched McNabb against the Ravens was to allow McNabb to take a step back and see things from a different perspective.
Well, mission accomplished. What McNabb saw was what we fans have seen for years. I commend McNabb for finally stepping up and voicing his displeasure with his so-called weapons.
In case you missed it, there is an ESPN report claiming that McNabb and the Eagles did have their highly anticipated off-season talk and the outcome was McNabb refusing to move forward with contract talks until he sees what upgrades are made to the team.
Who knew...McNabb is just like us fans. No longer can McNabb be labeled as a management man. We fans too are tired of the garbage that the Eagles assemble at the skill positions. It is time to change ways. Make the big moves, make a serious run at the title.
There are no excuses for the Eagles this off-season. There is an abundance of cap room money, there are high draft picks to package in a trade for a star or to move-up in the draft, and there are some current players that would net value in return.
Give McNabb what he wants. McNabb has earned to the right to speak out after too many seasons of carrying offensive garbage to the brink of a title. And if the Eagles front office doesn't agree, well it's time to say goodbye to #5.

The Cahonas On Reid...Wow!
Big Red has the balls to make the following comment regarding the Eagles approach to this years' draft...
"You can't afford to draft for needs," he said. "People fall into that. I try not to do that. You understand what your weaknesses are and if that player's there and he's a quality player you take him. If that need is there and he's quality, then you take him. But if there's a way better player there at a different position, then you take that player. You don't want to get caught up in getting someone who's not that good just to try to fill a need."
Wait....WHAT?!? These comments coming from the man who traded OUT of the first round the past 2 seasons. I recall Felix Jones, Rashard Mendenhall, Chris Johnson, and Dustin Keller all being on the board when the 19th pick came around last year.
It's not even the start of the season and Reid's mouth is pissing me off. Maybe it's better for everyone if he just goes back to saying nothing. Just give us the throat clears and how you need to do a better job!
