Only a couple of hours ago, the Philadelphia Eagles signed a popular yet controversial player. His skills on the field were unquestionable, but it was the baggage that came with him that create the controversy. Only 5 years ago, the T.O. experiment began. However the controversy ended up hurting the Eagles more in the long run than it helped them.
Today, McNabb faces his new teammate Michael Vick. Vick was a fun player to watch. That is, before he went to prison for 2 years because of charges related to dogfighting. Now, the first stop on Vick’s rehabilitation tour stops in Philly, “The City of Brotherly Love” (unless you’re wearing a Cowboys, Giants or Redskins jersey).
NFL History will view this as either a gamble that paid off, or another failed experiment. Either way this move should make the team better, and give them more room to experiment with the wildcat offense, with DeSean Jackson and Maclin already there and ready. I can forsee many great things coming out of Philly. Which bother’s me of course because I’m a Cowboys fan.
