On ESPN.com: McNabb, of all people, should know better

Privately, many players are wondering whether this makes McNabb a lame duck -- not in 2008, or some undefined future, but right now.

"It's Super Bowl or bust for Donovan this year," said a veteran defensive player. "And everybody knows it."

And...

What does that mean? Well, by allowing Garcia to take his magic act to Tampa Bay, the Eagles were forced to make contingency plans for the future:

• Beef up the running game. Check.
• Secure not one, but two suitable veteran backup quarterbacks in A.J. Feeley and Kelly Holcomb. Check.
• Draft McNabb's eventual replacement. Check.

Under Reid, this is the how Philly rolls.
