    Donovan McNabb to the Lions for Second Overall Pick?

    Donovan McNabb seems like a nice guy. You'd hate to see something like this happen to him. Getting shipped to the Detroit Lions is like getting sent to Leavenworth. But that's the rumor that's being circulated, both in the Ann Arbor News and in Miami during Super Bowl festivities, that the Eagles could send McNabb to the Lions for the second overall pick in the draft, and in turn use that pick for Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn.

      If that did happen, as a McNabb fan, I'd certainly start rooting for Detroit a little bit more. He's an excellent QB and would be a start to turning around a horrendous franchise. That said, I don't see it happening.

        I think it would be a GREAT move for the Lions and a dumb one for the Eagles.

        That said, McNabb would finally have the WR hes never had in Roy Williams, and you could expect a McNabb led O to put Roy Williams into the top 5 of todays WR's. I could see the Lions being a playoff team next year.

        The Eagles would have to go through what every team who has ever started a youngster has to, lots of ups and down. I dont know why they would want to do that.

          I think that's an excellent move for both clubs...

          Eagles can compete very well with Garcia while bringing Quinn along slowly.

          Lions would become respectful immediatly with McNabb.

            Philadelphia found out this year that could be life without McNabb. Why not pull the trigger now if you're them?

              Like McNair I believe his best days are behind him. Garcia plus a rookie makes sense. Plus Detroit should not be allowed to draft anybody because they are so bad at it!!

                  That would be a TON of "dead cap" for the Eagles

                    You're ruining his latest wet dream.

                      Im not sure that McNair ever had "best days", McNabb is flippin 30, he just turned 30. Hes got at least another 5 years in him.

                        That trade will never happen.

                          Eagles should do it. McNabb will never be the same again. Since he's getting up in age, that knee injury was the last thing he needed. I could see him tanking a la Culpepper.

                              Sorry, never been a fan of him. Kurt Warner won stuff too, didnt much like him either.
