"One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong..."

Im w/ FD here- Reid knows QBs and OL, and the best buffet in every NFL town.

Cunningham was a helluva QB, sorry Fagelpoke. No SB, but then again...who has?

The fact that the GENIUS in N.E. liked Kolb enuff to be QB2 on his board- THAT should cover any hesitancy or suspicion you have for now.

Wow, I missed Randall on that list. So 2 of your 5 "rejects" were actually good.

Man, you're strict.

Not to mention people here thought Ty Detmer was the "real deal", and Geobel was an undrafted guy from Baylor, right?

wow, cunningham?! come on man. the rest of that list looks like crap.

then again, i truthfully didn't believe in any of them either.

But you HAVE GOT to take Randall off that list. he's a legend!!

Detmer's a legend, too.

Name me another QB that threw 7 INTs in one game. On prime time, no less.

Brady was a 6th round pick and a stroke of luck for the "genius". He's the best gameday planner there is and excellent at finding motivated players who don't have oversized egos. Let's face it, no Brady, and Bellecheeks is a nobody. He didn't win with Bledsoe who was in his prime at the time. He got to the POs.

Reid picked McNabb and AJ. One was great the other was ok. AND THAT IS IT. He didn't select Favre or Brunnel. He helped to "develop" them, but he's not using Mcnabb's talents so I think he's regressed.

he was also the guy who convinced the packers to select hasselback in the later rounds.

Gabriel was good great before he got here. His Eagles career, despite 1 Pro-Bowl appearance, never featured a winning season.

Cunningham is the single most frustrating Eagle in history (IMO). His lack of dedication to learning his craft combined with a dearth of Coaching early in his career, left us with only a shadow of what he could have been.

Gabriel was turning 33 when he got here, and had more INT's than TD's the year before with the Rams

And yet, fagel, Cunningham is 50 times the QB than Mike Vick will ever be.

Gabriel's 1st season with the Birds was 1973. He led the league in passing attempts, completions and yardage. The Eagles stunk, but it sure wasn't his fault.

Comp 270
Att 460
PCT 58.7
YDS 3219
TD 23
INT 12

He was also tied for the league lead in TD passes with Staubach. The Eagles offense was ranked 8th in '73, but the D was 2nd to last. Much like these days, I'm sure that was somehow the QB's fault.

Cunningham's career numbers are great, it's really a shame that ATL ruined what would have been the best Superbowl ever in '98.

Would have loved to have seen what Randall could do here in Philly with a semi-decent offensive line and a running game.

Junior Tautalatasi was great and all, but...

I put the blame on that not being the best SB ever on Denny Green (even then he wasn't that good) and Gary Anderson. Way to have your first miss of the year, genius.

Reid said McNabb was aware that the team had worked quarterbacks out prior to the draft and didn't feel the need to call McNabb to inform him that the Eagles might be interested in taking a quarterback.

On McNabb's press conference earlier this week, Reid said, "that's all right. He's alright."

More from Reid on McNabb: "He knew we had worked the quarterbacks out. There is no need to (call McNabb prior to the draft). I don't do that with any position. There is no need to do that. It wasn't an absolute that we were going to take a quarterback.


From EMB..

"My relationship (with Reid) probably is better than it was before," McNabb said Friday, rejecting speculation that there's a rift between the quarterback and coach.

Speaking at an event to promote his upcoming charity golf tournament, McNabb addressed various topics ranging from his injury rehab to his future with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback reiterated he was shocked when the team selected quarterback Kevin Kolb with its first pick in last month's NFL draft, but the decision hasn't strained his relationship with Reid.

McNabb sat down with Reid soon after the draft and the two had a productive discussion.

"We were able to talk about a lot of different issues," McNabb said. "Obviously with the issue we've been faced with, drafting a quarterback, that's probably what everybody wants to know. But I think with the situation that he's been a part of, obviously with his family, I was there for him. I think people look too far into it to say, 'Well, Donovan didn't do this,' or maybe 'They don't communicate.' We talk all of the time. I don't think anything has changed."

McNabb's silence for 10 days after the draft suggested he wasn't happy with the move. Then last week, he did his first interview at the Flyers' practice facility. He didn't speak to reporters during minicamp last week and finally talked at length with the media while hosting a barbecue at the RiverCrest Golf Club.

Is it merely a coincidence that McNabb has done interviews away from team headquarters or is he sending a message to the front office that he's on his own, especially since Reid canceled McNabb's postseason news conference in January?

"This isn't a situation where I'm trying to stand out away from the team," McNabb said. "When I spoke at that time, I thought it was the best time to speak. My main purpose for that was to get the word out so that Kevin wouldn't have to come in and answer questions. He can just focus in on just playing football. The team didn't have to worry about what I said. It was out. Everybody heard it. Everybody knew what was going on. They could just focus in on that camp."

McNabb has rehabbed vigorously since he tore a knee ligament in Week 11 last year. He's running and throwing and is on course for a complete return when players report to camp on July 27.

After McNabb went down last year, Jeff Garcia led the Eagles to five straight wins, the NFC East title and a playoff victory. Many players praised Garcia's leadership ability during the late-season run, and fans quickly soured on McNabb. Garcia, however, signed a free-agent deal with Tampa Bay.

Though he's led the Eagles to the NFC championship game four times and one Super Bowl in his eight seasons, McNabb has been a consistent target for criticism. He doesn't feel he needs to change his image.

"Hopefully I'm perceived in a positive light," he said. "You want to be looked upon as a role model, a human being, a guy that works hard to be the best at what he can do and win championships. Not everybody can win the Super Bowl. Hopefully we'll be able to do that this year and be able to hold up that trophy and look forward to doing it again next year."

McNabb was having one of the best statistical seasons of his eight-year career before he got hurt, throwing for 2,647 yards passing, 18 touchdowns, six interceptions and a passer rating of 95.5. He's finished three of the last five seasons on the sidelines.

It he's shocked that they drafted a QB in the 1st round...

It = And

I thought you were going for the whole "it throws the ball to the receiver, else it gets the hose again" angle.
