SBN’s excellent Syracuse blog takes some severe umbrage at l’affaire McNabb:
SBN Syracuse: “Donovan McNabb Always Deserved Better”
I’m actually somewhat surprised the Eagles didn’t trade Donovan to the Raiders. That seemed like the “perfect” ending to the saga. Sending Donovan, who had sacrificed so much for this franchise, to the career graveyard that is Oakland would have made just too much sense. Yet somehow, sending him to the Redskins is even worse. It’s worse because it says the following to Donovan.
”Not only do we not think you’re good enough to be our quarterback anymore but we think you’re so bad now that we’d happily send you to one of our arch-rivals and go up against you TWICE a season. With the division title and the pride of the Eagles on the line, we want to line up against you.“Andy Reid and Jeff Lurie can write all the press releases they want, the actions of the trade speak volumes louder than any of their words.
