To me that seems to lead to the point that TO is the issue, not his teammates or teams. Like TO said about Garcia, if it smells like a rat.....
Does McNabb rule the roost? No doubt! He should... he's the franchise quarterback. But I honestly don't think him being "the golden boy" had anything to do with the situation. IMHO, it was Owen's issue from the start.
FWIW, my understanding is McNabb didn't want to talk contract extension until he saw what the Eagles did in free agency. I read into that, that he wanted to see if they finally got him any stud skill position players, specifically a WR. So far....  |
As far as TO goes the bottom line is that all the teams that have let him go for "off the field" issues have done worse "on the field" where it counts. Is TO a loud mouth? Absolutly. Can he be diffucult to deal with? I can only imagine. Is he pretty much the perfect physical specimine of a WR? Yes. Does he deliever on the field? Always.
I don't know too much about the cowboys situation but I know a fair bit about what happened with the Eagles and I think mistakes were made on both sides.
The only comment I have for McNabb re: Franchise QB is
.
Let me step into the wayback machine. It's March 2004...there is a stud WR on the market...the Eagles pick him up...go 13 and 1 when a certain stud WR is on the field...
Point is that they got him the stud WR of his dreams and he still couldn't seal the deal.
Let McNabb walk, let's see what Kolb has.
Joel we should really start an Eagles thread!
All in all though I am REALLY happy that TO didn't go to Washington or NYG! I think we can celebrate that.
