McNabb talking about how he is working with great guys and how in shape he is makes him sound like an angry ex girlfriend.

The Eagles don’t want you either bro.

I know i’m gonna get thumbs down but, I think McNabb would be an excellent back up on the Eagles. He knows the system. Has enough gas in his tank to make a contribution if needed. Just how I feel. He bought us a lot of great moments. Good luck Don

So NOW he scraps that entire working out in Arizona BS, huh? It’s a little late, DMac.

Now that McNabb is no longer an Eagle, I wish him the best. I like the idea that he is in the area working out. He likes it here and feel comfortable around the guys. Nothing wrong with that. I would welcome having McNabb in the ring of honor and maybe back with the team in some non-playing capacity.

I don’t put a lot of stock in how many players show up for these unorganized player practices. If anything, it only reflects on the type of leadership on each individual team among the players. I don’t think that Michael Vick is a real leader. How much that matters when the season starts, I guess remains to be seen. But I really don’t think these workouts mean a whole lot, other than players trying to stay in shape. They can do that on their own too.

As for McNabb ever returning to the Eagles, it won’t happen mainly because he won’t accept a backup role and a backup salary. Not with the Eagles, anyway. Too much ego involved there.

All the worms are scattering. They got lazy in the last year or so since McNabb had been gone.

What was left out of my comment was per CSN Philly McNabb is in town for a few days for the dedication of the McNabb Family Neo-Natal IC Care Unit at Voorhees Hospital, to which 5 has given a 6 figure donation.

McNabb in SF or Arizona both make a lot of sense.

Arizona is going to be desperate to work out a trade.

This part of the story was left out… Donovan has always given back to the community and THAT is why he is in town. You’d never know that by reading this article. Tsk, tsk…

If we ship Kolb (and we will) there are worse back ups than McNabb, just sayin.

I think McNabb will go to the Vikings. They need a veteran QB especially in that Divisoin that saw the Lions get better.

Dude mcnabb seems like he wants to be back in philly. He did some video thing they showed it on NFL network and in the backround was a mcnabb poster in eagles uniform. I bet he would do anything to back to 2009 and play for Reid again. I actually feel bad for him, I hope he plays decent next year.

This Eagles fan wishes McNabb the best of luck, and I really think that if he ends up in Minnesota that the Vikings will become relevant again. If he doesn’t have to carry the team, he can be a very effective QB again. Washington was a bad situation, pretty much everyone knew that since the day he was traded.

now if he had only done this before the 04′ season,, we would be good.

& guys he was working with the DL and some LBs,, no skill positions.

@karlpilkington –

Well, you sure are reading this differently than me. It says he “worked out wednesday with some of his former philly teamates.” It took place at a sports complex in NJ. Do you really think that the only time players work out is during player organized practices? And do you think they would invite a division rival QB?

Since Shanahan said he’d do the deal over again, the Eagles thought there was no harm in taking McNabb back for a bit, just to see if Mike really is nuts.

He’s in “SOME” great shape? Smart of him not to nail that one down by saying just “I’m in great shape”. I mean, round IS a shape.

The sentence we should all be paying attention to is that he joined “6″ eagles. I mean I know the “player only practices” mean only so much but I have heard teams have had 30 to 40 guys showing up.

Don, if you go to the AFC, that team will instantly become my favorite team in that conference. Good luck old friend.

Should be some quality training for the receivers…the art of catching the low-ball.
