While Reid was in Orlando at the NFL meetings this week, discussing the future of the franchise, he decided to say something revealing for a change, at McNabb's expense.
"I'm listening [to offers] out there," Reid told The Inquirer on Tuesday. "I'm not saying I'm doing anything. But we're keeping our ears open. It's an evaluation process."
Excuse me? What evaluation process? Better yet, what does Reid need to evaluate about McNabb, after being the only head coach McNabb has had in his 11 NFL seasons?
Reid should know what underwear McNabb wears by now. The color, along with the brand.
And how can the coach talk as if Kevin (corn on the) Kolb should legitimately be uttered in the same breath as McNabb?
Give me a break.
McNabb should have demanded a trade by now. Who cares if it's to the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, or one of 13 other teams, by my count, that could desperately use McNabb's services this season? With the Eagles having adopted their new and improved turncoat mentality, the biggest mistake McNabb appears to have made does not involve interceptions or NFC championship/Super Bowl losses.
His biggest mistake was not demanding a trade years ago.
The treatment McNabb has received year after year has been disgraceful. What has taken place this off-season has surpassed betrayal. And for what, exactly? One quarterback (Michael Vick) who's still shaking off the rust of prison, and the other (Kolb) a bit rusty from riding the pine for three seasons.
To hear Reid talk, one would think the Eagles are on the verge of acquiring Brett Favre, Peyton or Eli Manning, Tom Brady, or Drew Brees - not Vick or Kolb.
