Let's think about this.
If it isn't the quarterback than maybe its the coaching staff.
I said this last week on the blog. Andy Reid's tenure in Philly needs to end. It is nothing against Reid but coaches eventually need to move on. Most of them do it because they have to not cause they want to. But lots of coaches move on at the right time, Mike Holmgren from Green Bay, Jimmy Johnson from Dallas, Bill Cowher from the Steelers, and Joe Gibbs (the first time) from Washington.
Some coaches of recent memory that SHOULD have left but didn't would be Herm Edwards (gonna be fired soon), Brian Billick, and Marty Schottenheimer. All of those coaches should have left when things were good or when they started going bad. But they didn't and they got or are going to get canned.
Andy Reid can still fall into the first group if he retires from the Eagles after this season.
And he should.
His offense isn't working, his coaching isn't working, and his team isn't playing for him.
Hell the team was playing better before he benched the face of the franchise than they did afterwards.
But I suspect Reid will be back next season, more than likely without McNabb, and hopefully he does okay or else he will be fired after another bad season.
As for McNabb.....no matter how much he wants to stay in Philly (and as a huge McNabb fan and an Eagles fan, I really do want him to succeed there) it is time for him to move on.
He has accomplished everything he is going to accomplish in Philly and a fresh start would probably jump start his career.
Could you imagine him in Minnesota playing for Brad Childress. He flourished under Childress as offensive coordinator in Philly and he would have a solid offensive line, an awesome running back to help shoulder the load, and a great deep threat in Bernard Berrian.
McNabb + Vikings = NFC North Championship
