Only with McNabb can Eagles fly

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Ok, you are an Eagles fan. You look around and see the Washington Redskins. Hmm, they have a new coach in Jim Zorn and a pretty good QB and practically every player returning from a team that went to the playoffs in 2 out of the last 3 years. We can beat them, maybe.

Then you look at the Giants and you see Eli Manning at QB and a defensive line without Strahan. Hey, we can beat them.

Then you see the Cowboys and their 13 – 3 record and the slew of All Pros like Terrell Owens and Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, hey wait a minute, Jessica was not All Pro. Anyway, they are loaded, but they never seem to win a playoff game. Hey, we can beat them.

After all we have Donovan McNabb and when he is healthy…

And that, my friends, is the big question – When he is healthy?

A variety of injuries limited McNabb, 31, to nine games, 10 games and then 14 games in the ensuing years. Now he’s in the final year of his contract, and in 2007 the Eagles drafted former University of Houston standout Kevin Kolb in the second round.

This year the Eagles think it is Donovan McNabb’s year. Brian Westbrook had this to say:

“I think this season,” he said, “you’re going to see the real deal.”

Likewise wide receiver Hank Baskett and tight end L.J. Smith have opined that McNabb looks like “the Donovan of old.”

Donovan has had some great years and is a roll the dice fantasy football quarterback, but you have to wonder if the Eagles do not win this year, then will McNabb be gone?

You also have to wonder how they do that in the toughest conference in the NFC?

Good Luck, Donovan.
