McNabb As Shocked As Eagles Fans

If you think us Eagles fans were shocked by Andy Reid's decision to draft a quarterback (Kevin Kolb) with their first pick in the 2007 draft, step back and think about Donovan McNabb.  Basically this draft pick was the Eagles sending a great be giant flare into the air, they are preparing for when McNabb is gone.

McNabb, for the first time since the draft picked a select number of sports journalists to speak too.  His reaction to the pick?  "It was shocking," McNabb said Tuesday in an interview on WIP-AM radio.

Welcome to the boo-bird nest Donovan, where we are all still scratching our heads trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

Sure, McNabb has been hurt in the past, and sure he's not the youngest quarterback on the block now, but he's certainly not ready to be wheeled off to wait for a call from Canton, Ohio.  Fans all around the Delaware Valley are just confused, there are 4 quarterbacks in the roster now.  How in the world does that make sense?

We all thought the roster was set for the quarterback position back in March when the Eagles acquired Kelly Holcomb from the Bills.  Although I don't think that Donovan has to worry about his position any time soon, A.J. Feeley and Kelly Holcomb on the other hand must be looking to 2008 already and wondering what's in store.  Feeley's signed to just a one year deal, if memory serves me right, Holcomb has a two year deal.

One last passing thought on Donovan finally speaking to the media, and totally from a gal's perspective, and since this is a gal's football blog, you'll have to live with the indulgence.  Donovan, please either trim the beard or get rid of it.  That gnarly looking shag of hair on your chin is a real turn off, and it really makes you look creepy!  Go to the barber shop with Brian Dawkins, now there's a sharp looking guy!
