Smoking the Good Stuff in Minny
Pioneer Press writer Charley Walters:
"Some people think today's Vikings-Eagles game at the Metrodome could end up being a tryout for Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb.
Vikings coach Brad Childress, in dire need of a QB, was McNabb's offensive coordinator and QB coach before coming to Minnesota. If Childress is back next year, as expected, it would make sense to trade with pal Andy Reid, the Eagles' coach, for the established McNabb, 30, who probably could use a change of scenery.
A trade, which probably would cost the Vikings a second-round draft pick, makes more sense than drafting another QB in April and waiting two years for him to develop.
Meanwhile, today at the Dome: Vikings 13, Eagles 10."
... and a first, and a third ...
It's crazy, but McNabb is only 30 years old. Normally we'd be talking about a QB like this if they a good amount older. I don't think the Birds are in a place where the could get rid of McNabb at the end of the year. Though, question marks within the organization are plentiful at this time. Heckertt is rumored to go to Miami. Reid is rumored to be resigning at the end of the season. Dawkins isn't getting any younger.
All depends on the direction Lurie, Reid & Heckertt are planning on going.

How bad IS Tavaris Jackson that they gave up on him that quickly?
