Vikings window of opportunity is one more year. Farve will probably be back next season. McNabb is not worth the #30 pick in the draft, if the Eagles get a 2nd round pick I will be surprised. I think the Cardinals makes sense for McNabb.

mcnabb will sign with the vikings in the 2011 season, 2010 is the last #4 season as a playerComment -
McNabb IS an excellent QB when healthy. At first I thought no way...but you know a 30th pick for a good NFL QB that has maybe 2 pretty good years left? Yea, I make that trade.
McNabb is not over rated as some have said. He has played hurt and more recently on a team that has fallen on tough times in the talent dept. The problem would be keeping him healthy and thats a gamble I'd take for a 30...not a 12 but yes for a 30.Comment -
Eagles must believe Kolb can be a starter. I don't see Vick starting in Philly.Comment -
Vikings should give up their pick.Comment -

2. if your trading a 1st round pick tp phily i rather have kolb
3. favre will be back and as always will be better than mcfukComment -
Donovan McNabb is open to Vikings, but it all depends on Brett Favre
columnist Bob Sansevere
Itemizing a few things ...
Item: Reports in the Philadelphia Inquirer and on ESPN.com indicate that Donovan McNabb would prefer a trade to the Vikings over other NFL teams.
I think: It makes sense, seeing as how Brad Childress was McNabb's offensive coordinator in Philly. The Vikings either have to get a firm commitment from Brett Favre or re-evaluate waiting for Favre to finish his annual flip-flop dance when a quarterback of McNabb's caliber is available now.
Item: Tubby Smith's name continues to be linked to the opening at Oregon.
I think: Never expected Smith to be around for the long haul, so if he leaves it won't be much of a surprise.Comment -
Reports say Vikings are McNabb's first choice if Eagles trade him
St. Paul Pioneer Press
If the Philadelphia Eagles trade quarterback Donovan McNabb, he would prefer it be to the Vikings, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday, citing sources close to the situation.
And ESPN.com reported that McNabb "has told his friends for weeks" that he wants to reunite with Vikings coach Brad Childress, his former offensive coordinator in Philadelphia.
Citing league sources, ESPN.com said that is partly why Childress recently visited Brett Favre in Mississippi, to get a sense of whether the quarterback wants to return to the Vikings next season or retire after leading Minnesota to the NFC championship game last season.
"Childress did not want to miss an opportunity to trade for McNabb while waiting for Favre to decide whether to come back," ESPN.com reported. "Childress said he asked for and got no assurances from Favre."
Last season, Favre ended his retirement and signed a two-year contract with the Vikings after the first exhibition game. The question is whether the Eagles would wait for the Favre situation to play out. They reportedly want one of this year's top 42 draft choices for McNabb.Comment -
Vikings have too big of a hole at cornerback to let a first rounder go.Comment -
I agree #4 is coming back, however still didn't do crap for my team... Still is a packer. Sure he got us to the NFC Title game but did we win the superbowl? Nope... I'd say give a shot to McNabb.Comment -
McNabb has led the Eagles to four consecutive NFC East division championships (2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004), five NFC Championship Games (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2008), and one Super Bowl (Super Bowl XXXIX, in which the Eagles were defeated by the New England Patriots). Yes he isn't the best QB, but he gets no creditComment -
vikes should pull trigger on getting mcnabb in case favre decides he cant go for another yearComment -
Most guys will agree he is a very good NFL QB. Yea a couple of posters shot from the hip. One could argue he is just too broken up and too old but not that he is not a very good QB. If it were me today; I'd take McNabb over Farve and ship the pick which is really like a 2nd round pick.Comment -
That would be a good fit, but the Cardinals is as cheap as they comeComment -
still boggles my mind that eagles are always talking about trading him..he has had a lot of success thereComment -
mcnabb is not over rated. I am a big vikings fan but I don't want Mcnabb on my team. Favre is much better then Mcnabb, build through the draft if favre doesn't come back.Comment -
Getting rid of McNabb is the best thing that will happen to the Eagles is years. Just cut him if you ask me. He ain't worth no first round pick LOL.
A 6th round pick, a few footballs and a case of Campbell's soup seems about right.Comment -
mcnabb is the bestComment -
They should trade for him but I think #30 is too high.Comment -
McNabb is an over-rated washed up QB, who is very injury prone. He earned his name McChoke in many games. His performance against Dallas in his final two games of last season was a complete and total disgrase. He is inaccurate, afraid to take a hit, and a cancer n the clubhouse. The majority of current Philly players want Kolb as their startingQB, and McNabb off of their team.
McNabb is certainly not worth a 1st round pick. Favre is a better QB today than McNabb is. Why give up your #1 pick to rent a QB for one sason, if he lasts that long? With a lockout looming in 2011, McNabb's value drops tremendously. He would be a perfect fit with the misfits in the toilet bowl in Oakland. The Raiders should offer their 2nd Round pick for him. The Eagles get a top 42 pick, and get rid of McNabb. The Raiders get a QB who can at least move, does not weigh 290 Lbs, and will bring a few fans into the stadium.Comment -
Scarp, you are quoting the wrong stats when backing Mcnabb. Pro Bowl votes? Fantasy stats? That's what the average fan sees who doesn't actually watch an Eagles game over the course of the year. Mcnabb is an above average QB, nothing more. But he is also a choke artist, and nothing close to a leader so that makes it a lot worse. Throw in the fact that he is old, overpaid, and his teammates don't like him, and I would be ready to accept just about anything the Raiders or Vikings would offer.Comment -
I agree I think that would make a lot of senseComment -
I agree that it's time for McNabb to try his luck somewhere else. Kolb is ready. Classic Favre-Rodgers revisited.
I disagree that McNabb is anything less than an elite NFL QB. You guys must also hate all-time NFL greats like Dan Marino.
What team wouldn't want a QB that gets their team to the playoffs every year and is good for 1-2 wins in the playoffs every other year? Seriously. There's teams that haven't seen the playoffs in over a decade, much less a playoff win. Eagles fans are spoiled. Eagles have never had a QB this good and probably will never get another one this good. Appreciate what you have in McNabb, which means a contender year after year after year.Comment -
One of the similarities to the Favre situation here is that because of the lack of respect shown to McNabb throughout this process and the way they've been gearing up for a mini-rebuild, the Eagles are in a position where they MUST move McNabb, and cannot get full value for him. The smart teams know this and are probably waiting for him to be cut/the price tag to plummet. That's why the Raiders are the only viable trading partner at the moment.
This is 100% spot on. McNabb is pretty good, but often the ball is put in an awkward position for the receiver, and what could have been a huge play goes for 5-8 yards. His interception/touchdown ratio is great, but his other stats, especially completion percentage, are inflated by Reid's substitution of short easy passes for running. He often finds a way to screw those up.
As any fantasy owner knows, more passes mean more numbers, and Reid loves to go through the air.
He is not even close to the Brees/Manning/Brady trinity. Even the Favre/Schaub/Rivers tier is clearly a step ahead of him. He's more on the level of Eli Manning, Tony Romo, or Carson Palmer. I'd rank Big Ben ahead of him too, taking heroics over consistency.
Kolb isn't a guaranteed superstar, but he's shown a lot of potential. He's more along the lines of Joe Flacco, Mark Sanchez, or Matt Ryan. If you wouldn't trade a regressing, injury-prone McNabb for one of those guys, you'd have to be crazy.Walter forgot... when you're desperate's when you got no choice.Comment -
Would be a poor move by the viksComment
