I’ll tell you that I am writing this at 8:12pm Sunday, so before the Redskins and Donovan McNabb have played. I know that Andy Reid is an offensive coach and has a great track record, but I am questioning his decision to trade McNabb and go with Kevin Kolb and Michael Vick. By trading McNabb within his division, Reid is clearly saying that he thinks Donovan is washed up.
Yes, I know that it’s only one game and that Vick looked good , but I am going on the record as saying that the Eagles will miss McNabb. Am I biased because of McNabb’s Orange roots? Perhaps. But I do think that McNabb has been a terrific quarterback and still has plenty left in the tank. Will he be influenced by the trade and come out with something to prove? Sure. He’s proud and competitive and will want to show Reid how wrong he was.
Reid’s decision was obviously made because he thought Kolb and Vick would be better than McNabb. It’s easy for me to say that Kolb isn’t ready. That seems obvious after the preseason and certainly after today’s loss to Green Bay.
I’m telling you ahead of time that Michael Vick is not the answer at quarterback . I know he is a sick athlete, no denying that. His spectacular plays are certainly amazing. Let’s see how he does over the course of the season. It’s one thing to make people miss and it’s another to make good decisions and make good throws. Come on Donovan, make me proud.
