You can say 'wrong'...

Wrong. Granted McNabb is the franchise player. BUT, Philly is a TEAM. There are no showboaters. No ONE Eagle will ever become a one man show as long as the "fat ass Andy Reid is the coach. He never has made a big deal out of any one's records. And that's what TO couldn't stand. He also destroyed the team atmosphere. He was that guy in the office that everyone else in the office hoped would be sick that day, or worse.
He will not fit in in Dallas. Dallas doesn't have a strong QB to support TO's talent or with a strong enough personality to put up with TO's BS. And that's where the fireworks will begin.
...but you can't get around THE simple and central fact; TO is an azzhat, was an azzhat and always will be an azzhat.
Philly knew that when they signed him up; "We'll deal with all that just as long as TO does his job."
Ya da ya da yah.
Wrong. TO did his part, played his azz off and played the azz the rest of the time. He even risked his career by coming back VERY early from the broken anlke to play very, very well in the Superbowl.
If they, Philly, were a team, they would not have self destructed as last season fell apart. To has ZERO power over how grown, adult people react to adversity, either on the field or off.
I have no patience or tolerance for anyone who knows what they are getting to and then act like it's a surprise when they get what they paid for. They're acting like some woman who fell in love with the charming rogue who was cheating on his wife and then, when he marries her, is shocked, SHOCKED to find that he is, gasp, cheating on her.
The Eagles tore themselves apart over TO. As many guys wanted him playing as wanted him gone as though being a professional football player is suddenly a democratic institution.
Some team.
We'll see how the Eagles rebound now that the 'problem' is gone. If you're right, they'll be back in the championship game this year or at least the playoffs.
As far as Dallas, we'll see about that as well. Seems you haven't heard much about Bledsoe. He yells at people in the huddle and was not even remotely upstaged by Keyshawn nor had any problems with him, nor did Parcells. Ask Terry Glenn how Bill does with divas. Ask Lawrence Taylor.
