Hate to say I told ya so PHILLY

But I told you so.....You got rid of the wrong QB after the 2006-07 postseason. After McNabb went down with YET ANOTHER season-ending injury, you had Jeff Garcia step up and ONLY LEAD THE TEAM to the playoffs, including a win in the first round. BUT your coach Andy Reid decided, "Donovan is my boy! I gotta stick with him!" even though he had left the PAST TWO SEASONS WITH INJURIES!
So you let Garcia go to Tampa, where he took the Bucs to a division title and the playoffs in his first year there, and they will be there AGAIN this season. Hey, how did the Iggles do last year? What about thus far this season? Oops, sorry.

Then yesterday, as Garcia is once again passing the Bucs to a victory, despite losing Earnest Graham to an injury, Donovan is being benched for Kevin Kolb (what?) to provide a spark. You want a SPARK? His name is Jeff Garcia.

And you guys missed it. Oh well Sorry guys. You wanted McNabb, a guy that throws up in the huddle of the potential game-winning drive of a Super Bowl. A guy that doesn't know how Overtime works. A guy with THAT HAIR? And that isn't even his real mom on those chunky soup commercials. Oh well. And hey, Jeff Garcia DOES allow his coach to call a QB sneak. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Now Garcia will get another spot in the playoffs and McNabb will probably be cut and Reid fired after this season. Too bad you guys backed the wrong horse there. I told you guys so. You just need to listen to me a little more often.....

(I know the smart-butt Philly fan will come back with, But McNabb took us to 4 straight NFC CGs and a SuperBowl. Yeah, you guys were one step below the Buffalo Bills. Hey, you were kinda like the Braves. Yippee! And McNabb drove away the ONLY good receiver he has ever had because all of a sudden McNabb wasn't the entire show. Would DMcNabb have to share the spotlight? Oh NO! Everyone called TO the cancer of that team, I think the REAL cancer was McNabb getting the BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM booted. Yes Westbrook and Kearse were both good, but TO made the team TICK. He MADE McNabb great. To call McNabb great before or even after is just silly. He is a pretty good QB, but I would MUCH rather have Jeff Garcia. A winner. 3X Pro Bowler and a guy that fit that Andy Reid system to a T and clearly fits Chucky's system.

With Garcia at the helm, the Eagles make the playoffs last year and would too this year. But with McNabb at the helm (wait, is he starting again? he is? Good call Andy Reid....wait!) the team is going NOWHERE and FAST! Maybe Philly tries to get Garcia back this offseason. Correct a past wrong. They should certainly try!
