Some say "no, it's all the other marquee players on the Eagles that stepped up", but to those people I say sorry but a team without a strong QB is a team that almost always sucks ass and doesn't flush when they use the restroom.
This, in my view, was a tragic mistake. But whatever... it is without question their loss, and Tampa's gain. Hopefully they do something with him because he definitely played like a top 5 starter this past season.

Couldnt agree more...as much as Im not a fan, it still makes the organization as a whole look bad. Cutting loose the one guy that managed to get your team to winning the division. Ive watched McNabb since Syracuse actually. Was as the big div. game against miami actually right next to his mom & sister. Great guy & all.. but he hasnt been too productive the last couple of years. Id want my backup to have the same kinda 'grit' that he had. Garcia def. proved that for them. & he played in the CFL for years, I really dont think it would have come down to money to keeping him. Im actually not a over fan of his either, but you gotta give respect where its due... & hes earned it. I think he played probably the best I had seen him play in that Eagles O. Tampa really did well on that trade..Simms is supposed to be the starter..but giving Garcia pretty much the same contract to me looks like the spot is open. He might just get himself a starting role again & Gruden I think would be his kind of coach also... anyways.. Eagles loss.. DALLAS GAIN
