    McNabb To Lions?!

    McNabb to Detroit for Brady Quinn
    Rumblings over in the city of Detroit are calling for the Lions to inquire about the chances the Eagles would move McNabb for the second pick in the draft. They presume the Eagles would give Brady Quinn a chance.

    But the truth is, Quinn won't bring back any of the people who've given up on this team. At least not until he proves he's more than just another Joey Harrington.

    Donovan McNabb lining up under center in next season's opener is a different story.

    A story that would make the Lions interesting again, that would get people talking again, one certainly worth making a phone call in hope of.

    It's an interesting thought, but one the Eagles will likely brush off. Personally, I'm not a fan of Brady Quinn. Gary Cobb has Quinn ranked as the fifth best QB in this year's draft. The only people in Philadelphia who would welcome Quinn over McNabb would likely be the Notre Dame band wagoners, my girlfriend, and Woody's bar.

    McNabb for the 2nd pick in this years draft, would you do it?

      If McNabb got a clean bill of health, I'd do it.

          Its just silly. You have a MVP type NFL QB in McNabb for a NFL wanna-be at this point Quinn.....do we have to go into the whole process of naming the endless number of first round QB's that were a bust!?!!?


          Lions like Kitna....yes, I know he is not the answer long term, but he doesn't have many miles on him. With Kitna, you could draft Quinn to learn the QB position.

            I don't think it is so far fetched McNabb hasn't finished the last two seasons and he has a rep of being soft his teamates might be losing confidence in him.

              If I'm Philly I'd do it. McNabb can't stay healthy, and is inconsistant. At some point you gotta start over, might as well start over with who will be the top QB in this years draft.

                I don't think so. You have to have someone whose been there before. You don't dump Favre for Rodgers or if you're talking top QB, Alex Smith. You find out if Rodgers and Smith are what you want first, then risk losing your franchise QB.

                  This draft has no sure pick QB's. Every draft pick is a developmental type.

                  Kitna will start for at least 2 years.

                  Detroit needs linemen on both side of the ball before making a big deal like that.

                    Agreed. I think McNabb is underrated at this point. The dude led Philly to four straight NFC title games. He's completed 60% of his passes for 65 TDs and 24 interceptions the last three years, averaging over 260 yards passing/game. The dude has been great. That's not even to mention his running ability. He has a better than 2 to 1 ratio of TDs to interceptions for his career. That is an excellent rate. Plus, he can run. He's also been a winner--which is the most important fact. I don't believe any of that leadership crap. That was all pushed on him with the TO experiment. In fact, I think he's been a very good leader for that team, and most of his teammates love and respect the guy.

                    Now, if Philly doesn't think he'll stay healthy, that is a different story. He's not that old though, and he stayed healthy four of the five years previous to the last two.

                    Quinn probably has a less than 25% chance of ever being as good as McNabb has been.

                      I don't know if there's anything to the rumor or not but...If Reid has decided he likes Garcia better than McNabb, he might do it. He could draft Quinn and let him learn from a solid veteran for a year or two before starting him.

                        There's a huge difference between McNabb and Kitna. McNabb has won with good and bad OL. He's won with good and bad WRs. Kitna needs a very good supporting cast to have a shot at being a good QB.

                          Quinn will not be the top QB taken in this year's draft.

                            Plus, Reid has a good history with QB's...

                            Resign Garcia (he gets his wish to start) and Quinn gets top notch teaching and maturing and starts in 2008..

                            Naw, it'll never happen

                              If I was Detoilet I would take Mcnabb and Phillys 1st for the #2 pick. Ha ha....
                              Why in the hell would Philly trade away Mcnabb unless someone would give up the farm? Makes no sense unless Reid has wood for Quinn or something.
