A little over two weeks ago I wrote a post imploring Eagles fans to stop with the talk that the Eagles should entertain the possibility of trading Donovan McNabb for Jay Cutler. I was certain that my opinion was part of the silent majority and the talking heads of Philadelphia sports were merely representative of the vocal minority. Boy was I wrong.
The comments that ensued on that post called me an idiot, asinine, 100% incorrect and stupid. As you can tell, my readers always agree with my opinion. And when word came that Cutler was indeed on the block, the comments were reinvigorated. Again, the majority of those comments were in favor of taking a chance on Cutler. It never ceases to amaze me the vigor with which some Philadelphia fans want to run McNabb out of town. At every apparent opportunity, the mob is lined up ready to run the guy out of the town.
Well, sorry folks, but Jay Cutler has been traded to the Chicago Bears for Kyle Orton and two first-round picks. He’s going to a team with a solid defense and no wide receivers to speak of on the roster. He will regret his trade demands by week 4. Write it down: Jay Cutler does not even approach his 2008 numbers.
There was never really a doubt, but for those that held out hope…can we stop now? Donovan McNabb is our quarterback. Let’s move on.
