I don't think it's been said any better....
Quote:
Longtime quarterback Donovan McNabb, Reid's first draft pick, will be headed out of town as the scapegoat for the Birds' failure.
And while McNabb's recent struggles have been detrimental to the cause, removing him won't dramatically improve things.
The Eagles' downfall is due to a system that has never respected the running game, even though history shows that is the way to Super Bowl titles.
The McNabb era failed to deliver a title because management thought it was terrific to draft a quarterback with the second overall pick, then refused to surround him with the superior skill players who would have helped him develop into a championship quarterback.
If Reid's philosophies remain the same, I can't see how heir apparent Kevin Kolb can succeed any more than McNabb.
