Do you guys think its time the eagles get rid of the man leading the team. They get so far then always fall apart. In my opinion I think his time is done. Bad thing is kolb is not so good either.

He's by far the best QB the Eagles have had EVER. He's in the top 5 QB's in the League nearly every season. They lose for a variety of reasons, personal, and playing calling are the ultimate culprits. He has a few years left in him, perhaps a few more then the Birds had thought, since they drafted Kolb. Kolb can no longer be in their long term plans, he's a free agent after this season and he's barely stepped on the field. Furthermore, he has not gotten better, his progression just isn't there. Once McNabb is done the Birds may be forced to go the veteran route for a few seasons, draft a QB and actually mold him this time.

I definitely do not think they should get rid of McNabb. He still is the best quarterback they have and has done well. Hopefully our offense line will get healthy and when it does, McNabb will make some big plays to very good and fast receiver corp and with more weapons on offense. If he gets hurt, you know have Vick who can step in starting week 3 who always is a threat to other teams defense. I believe Kolb is still in their future plans but not Feeley. McNabb is going to have a great year I feel.

Exactly.
Remember the first time McNabb had a great WR? Terrell Owens. Yeah he was a complete jerk, and they should have gotten rid of him. But that was the first time McNabb had someone really good to throw to. And what happened? Superbowl.
Last year they get a good ROOKIE. DeSean Jackson. What happens? They go to the NFC Title game.
This year they have DeSean returning. They have Maclin who is starting to develop. There offensive line should get healthy soon, and when it is, it will be fantastic. Plus they have Lesean Mccoy, to take some pressure off of Westbrook.
McNabb and the Eagles have everything it takes to win the Superbowl. Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not. But there's no reason they CANT.

Well, i don't think they should get rid of him, but i see that they will. I mean why would you hire a superstar like Michael Vick having another good quarterback like Donovan. I think this season we will see a lot of surprise plays on the offense of the Eagles. However I think once Vick gets to his level, McNabb will not be longer an Eagle.

Wow you know a lot about football.
If you remember correctly McNabb TOLD the Eagles he thought they should go after Vick. Also, you don't know if Vick ever WILL be back at the level he once played at. If you've watched his last few games, I haven't seen him do anything fantastic. A good play or two? Yes. Something that would make another team interested? Perhaps. Something to get rid of McNabb over? NO.

He's passed his prime, and is just making to many stupid and VERY COSTLY mistakes. I love McNabb and much as the next guy, er well girl, but he is not longer a viable asset to our team. We need players that not only can play, but can survive the whole game and not make such mistakes. He has been in the NFL for way to long to make the mistakes he is making. Not to mention his body is tore up, I mean honestly, it's not like he really has much left in him. Last year was evident of that.

"not longer a viable asset to our team."
^First of all it should be 'no' not 'not'.
Next, your telling me that you think KEVIN KOLB would be a more valuable asset to the team than McNabb? How many games has he started? 2. How many has he won? 1. So he's 1-1. How many playoff games has Kolb won? What's that number that's less than 1? Oh that's right, zero!
So now you say "It doesn't have to be Kolb". So... you expect to get Tom Brady? You expect to get Peyton Manning? Drew Brees? 'Cause those are the only guys I see better than McNabb.... And I'm pretty sure the Patriots, Colts, and Saints aren't too keen on giving them up.

Get rid of the greatest QB in the history of the Eagles? Get rid of the guy that took them to the Superbowl? Get rid of the guy that has gotten them to the playoffs so many times? Get rid of the guy that has broken all sorts of Eagles records? Get rid of the guy that battled back from a torn ACL? Get rid of their leader on offense? Get rid of the guy that is YOUNGER THAN TOM BRADY AND PEYTON MANNING (DO YOU THINK THEY ARE DONE!?)? Get rid of the franchise quarterback?
Do you think franchise quarterbacks grow on trees?
I can see you've really thought this through well....
