McNabb tears ACL - Out for season

[shally]

just heard mcnabb hurt his knee

any word on how bad it is ??

[whitskins]

He was carted off is all I know.

[AliBabba]

He was carted off is all I know.

looked like he tweaked it when planting to turn upfield, not a contact injury

[akhhorus]

He got pushed sideways, he might have buckled it.

non contact injury.. but that is how we lost PP..

[dj_stouty]

Anyone heard an update?

Is this season ending?

I have the utmost respect for McNabb...the NFL will miss him the rest of the season. Here's to a speedy and full recovery, hope to see him healthy next year.

that is 2 lost seasons in a row for him due to injury.. wonder if his body is starting to break down from all those early hits he took ?

todays injury looked freakish.. but you never know

[superskin]

Just another reason to look back at this season and cringe at what could have been. Hell, if we had only two more wins this year, we would be breathing down the Giant's neck and looking to make a run at it.

So damn disheartening.

Well, sorry McNabb.

true.. but we have our future now in JC.... so that makes this season okay. it is one of transition..

[shally]

i was thinking the same thing. :banghead:

just cannot really look at it that way.. again, we have transitioned to the future and our draft and post season will have to be re tooling the defense..

[BandWagon]

Wow, feel bad for McNabb the professional, couldn't be happier for the franchise or the majority of their fans.

[chrisbcbu]

thats a tough break for them. i do like Mcnabb. Get well soon.

[shally]

if nothing else, andy reid is going have to turn to the run.. with garcia he has little other option..

[akhhorus]

McNabb might miss a big chunk of 2007 also. Why do I have the feeling that McNabb will be retired by 2009?

[CNYSkinFan]

wow... torn ACL

there goes my fantasy year
no crap he was carrying one of my fantasy teams....too bad.

Exactly my thoughts. Except, I'm not sorry for McNabb. I don't wish for opponents to get hurt but I don't shed a tear for them either. I wish him all the success in the world -- AFTER he retires.

[Axegrinder]

Get well soon McNabb.
As for the injury thing,I want teams to be at their best.That way when you win,there will be no excuses.

[LATrueRedskin]

Sucks for the Eagles. Come back soon, McNabb, so we can do battle with you later.

[shally]

might have something to do with his outside football investments.. hard to imagine that this helps him sell more clothes.

he could end up playing because he needs the money

also, it has taken palmer much of the year to even begin to get his throwing motion back.. even he said he was tentative
i doubt mcnabb will be fully recovered by the start of next year..

Well the Daunte Culpepper experiment is any indication I think the Iggles will take their time with Donna. I know that Culpepper's injury essentially reduced his knee to spaghetti-Os but even Andy Reid said the recovery time is 8 mnths to a year. So I do not expect McNabb to even start practicing full speed till into the season and not start a game until nearly midway (hopefully we get to play him on his first game back ... I would love to welcome him back by beating him by 28)

[Biggie]

After the advice and help McNabb apparently gave Campbell, I honestly feel bad for him. The last two seasons have been terrible to #5. Get well soon.

That's what went through my mind.

Although I hate the iggles, I like McNabb and I wish him well.

you could say that kind of stuff about almost every season.. if we had beaten the raiders at home last year might have been different.. or not..

[PyroGenic]

boo injuries...

He's my least-hated eagle because he seems to play with class, something you don't see very much of.

Get well soon, rehab is gonna suck.

yup.. plus, i doubt he will be in top form before the middle of next year..
i bet the eagles draft a qb this year as well...

[Green-Is-Good]

McNabb is a great sportsman, I wish him a speedy recovery
But now maybe we can finish 3rd

you know, we should be in far better shape when they come to play us..

then again, we might have to learn to stop the run before then...

I am NOT going to miss my biggest pet peeve in the entire history of the nfl...how he leaves those two stupid chin straps undone...EVERY FREAKING GAME:

What? this year finishing lower is better ... it's all about the draft slot now, imo.

[ryflan47]

I can't stand watching the Giants or Cowboys winning this division, it's a shame McNabb had to go down.

[DoGood]

On Sports Machine, George Michael said McNabb will be out for 8 months to a year. Ouch.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who calls him McNugget! :D

That's a shame.. get better Donovan, we want to whoop your butt next year.

Terrible break for birds and NFL because Donovan is class personified. Get well soon.

huh? what kind of fan are you? actually wishing the team to lose to get a better draft pick?

[Green-Is-Good]

Camden,
I would rather we voluntarily drop to 32nd than see Dallass ahead of us in the standings.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

huh? what kind of fan are you? actually wishing the team to lose to get a better draft pick?
OT: Honestly, outside of the 2 remaining division games which I would prefer to win just because, I really don't care if we win or lose the remaining games. the only thing I care about is Campbell. And besides, would you rather finish 5-11 and have say, the 5th pick, or 7-9 and have the 15th pick?

Regarding McNabb, I'm sorry for him because he's a good guy and we aren't competitive anyways so his injury is "useless" to us, and because Dallas right now has a great chance to win the division, which always sucks.

that would be a killer for them... if he cannot get the broncos over the top with a rushing attack, what is he gonna do in philly?

they will look for a back up, but will draft for the future.. also, feely will get a long look this season

[danny's stogie]

Anyone else think McNabb's injury-plagued career might be the byproduct of Reid's 80-20 pass-run ratio? It give McNabb more chances to be injured than just about any other QB in the league.

To back up your point, below is from Peter King's mailbag online today.

THE EAGLES NEED TO RUN MORE. From Thomas Madison of Memphis, Tenn.: "It is maddening that everyone is talking about how injury prone Donovan McNabb is without talking about why he is so injury-prone: THE TEAM HAS NEVER HAD A RUNNING GAME! McNabb tore his ACL because he was running for his life against a team with one of the worst rush defenses in the NFL, Tennessee. The Titans knew Philadelphia was no threat to run the ball so they blitzed him all day. Every year Philadelphia uses high draft picks and huge free-agent contracts to bring in all these linemen, it is as if BYU product Reid is trying to prove that you don't need tailbacks in the NFL.''

This is the one personnel thing I fault the Eagles for over the years. They have, as you say, devalued the franchise back in their thought process. Imagine this year if they'd taken Laurence Maroney with their first pick. He'd fit their team a lot better, in my opinion, than Brodrick Bunkley.

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

I wish the best to McNabb...

This could have been a perfect year for winning the NFC East... all we needed was JC and a mediocre defense

[shally]

Excellant point.

reid has said feely will get a long look this year. garcia is 37 or 38 so there is no way they want to go into next season with him as starter. mcmahon was a disaster. detmer is gone. they remember feely fondly for the job he did in year's past so he at least knows the system.

they will draft a qb very early this off season

and when they traded up in the first round a couple of years ago, i thought they were going after stephen jackson.. instead they took andrews, who is turning into a fine lineman for them, but jackson would have brought a whole different dimension to their offense.
they have a perpetual blind spot..

and what makes it worse is that because it is late in the year, mcnabb is not going to be fully ready for much of next year, even if he does come back well

Hard to imagine Phila without McNabb next year or McNabb playing elsewhere in the future. He just seemed destined to finish in Phila. like Favre.

yes and no... he is the face of their franchise for certain, but the weight of failures to win it all are getting heavier. plus, this is 2 straight injury ended seasons.
and his contract is not a small one.

if reid goes, i could easily see the next coach moving on to his own guy..

I know we are almost mathematicly eliminated, but we are not. Mcnabb is gone so the Eagles are done. The Giants are not doing to good. The Cowboys have a 1-3 divison record. We are tied with Cowboys 1-1 series this year. So somehow if we miraculously win out :rolleyes: and the cowboys go 3-4 the last 7games (last year they were 7-3 they ended up 9-7:lol1: ). We also need the Eagles and the Giants to keep struggleing. If all these circumstanes occur. (Probably not) we have a slim hope for a 6 seed.

I am still hoping for this
Our D needs to step it up though. I really don't think this is an issue of them lacking talent, either.
But if we manage to go on a miraculous six game winning streak, and finish 9-7, if we made the playoffs we would probably be the 6th seed. And Dallass could very well be the 3rd seed. I can always dream, can't I? :banghead: :devil2:
