Our QBs also never get us to a big game

I would be thrilled.. He would for sure get us to the playoffs.. And who knows after that with Chilly as coach

Maybe if we actually had a QB Chilly could open his playbook.. We are very very limited to slants and dump offs with Gus.. And the occasional big throw

The comment was in reference to the history of the team back to the 60's, not just the past 3 years.

Ha gotcha

Im a little drunk so im not really reading into posts all that well!!

If there is any chance Philly doesn't sign him back PLEASE make an attempt at Mac

If Childress was still here then who's to say that McNabb would want to be re-united with him?
No point in speculating about QBs until we know what will happen with the coaching staff - they will be the biggest deciding factor rather than money or even current players.

Well I for one have never been a McNabb fan.
We need a good young QB, not another retread.
I've got to believe there is a better option out there.

While I am not a huge fan of bringing in McNabb, he would be a nice band-aid for the time being.
He is certainly an improvement over Gus and Tjack.

The scary thing is that there aren't any great promising options for us next year.
Even if we draft a QB we still are going to need a solution for next year and probably the year after before the rookie would be ready.
We need a franchise QB.
Too bad it's not as easy as putting out a Craigslist ad.

Are you serious... send his arse to the Bears.. they can live out the days under the man whom has no clue about overtime, looks old and slow and is soft as they come.

You can't be serious about McNabb in Minny..

Dude..
You haven't been cheering for a team with a carousel at the QB position.
Any big name looks great to us.

BTW, I'm not calling for McNabb..
but much like others, I wouldn't be made.
It definitely wouldn't be the worst FA/trade pickup the Vikings have made.

What do people have against McNabb?

He is lightyears ahead of Gus and T-Jack

He is having a subpar year but is still much better then whatever we got

2700 yards 14 TDs and 8 Picks.. 271 yards a game.. 85 qb rating and 7 yards a pass

That was mostly without Curtis and without Westbrook for awhile.. Having Desean Jackson as ur main target and a softer line then we got

He would fit in here nicely.. It won't happen but I don't understand why people wouldn't want him for a few years

because people here are set on the thought that we're going to find the second coming of Christ in the late rounds of the draft, a guy who will come in and bring us to a superbowl his rookie year.

+1

We need a proven starter who can serve as a mentor to some young guys...whether it's TJack, Booty or an 09 Draft Choice.

There needs to be no question going into the season as to who our starter would be, and with a guy like McNabb, there'd be no questions.

Whether he's injury prone or lacking some of his old spark doesn't matter right now.
If we can get a couple of good years while some younger qbs are groomed, we'd be feeling pretty darn fine about ourselves because he's a far more talented qb than what we've got right now.
