There has been a lot of talk recently about the Philadelphia Eagles possibly looking to trade Donovan McNabb. They have a young Kevin Kolb waiting in the wings and they also have some guy named Mike Vick on their roster as well. So I guess the Eagles are looking at a changing of the guard.
There are very few franchise quarterbacks in the NFL right now, maybe a little more than a handful. Donovan can still fall into that category. He’s got a few years left in the tank and can probably be a really good investment for a team.
As it stands right now the Raiders seem to be the team that is gaining the most attention in the race for McNabb. Anyone who doesn’t think he can help the Raiders needs to give their head a shake. How could he possibly make the Raiders any worse right now?
The biggest problem, pun intended, for the Raiders is JaMarcus Russell. They shelled out $72 million for this guy people claim is a quarterback. Talk about a financial burden. The only thing Russell seems to care about so far in his career is being first in line at the buffet table.
But you still have to give the guy a chance to make something of himself besides the embarrassment to the league he’s been so far. Bringing in McNabb makes sense. If you can get him to be a mentor for JaMarcus maybe things will change. It would be a last ditch effort to try and salvage anything you can from JaMarcus, and they might as well since they’re so financially wrapped with this guy.
Whatever the Raiders want to do with JaMarcus shouldn’t prevent them from bringing in McNabb. This team is so far gone right now they need all the help they can get.
