It's important to remember that, whatever Eagles Nation might think of the team's approach to its offense, Reid and Banner think they've done just fine. They are not scurrying to fill the holes that talk-show callers perceive, any more than in previous offseasons. Whatever the merits of McNabb's request, it's hard to envision the Eagles offering him much beyond a general "we're working to upgrade our team every way that we can." McNabb has been here 10 years now; he knows who he's dealing with, knows, too, how they respond to attempts to muscle them, and to things being made public that they thought were going to stay private.
Les Bowen: This won't end well for Eagles if reports on McNabb are true
(Page 3 of 3)
Story continues below.
Because McNabb knows these things, I have to wonder if this "report" isn't really a passiveaggressive trade request, if Deion Sanders wasn't on to something all along. Like the meeting we were all waiting for, that apparently already happened, this looks like a misdirection, a big, loud commotion summoned for effect.
And I don't think that effect is an Eagles Super Bowl championship next year. *
