Walker's Rants is in the Sports Luxury Zone

14
Vote

by BigPPup

Football season is great, college basketball is here, and the NBA and NHL are trudging along.  We are in the sweet spot of the sporting year, for the next few months sit back and enjoy the games.  In addition, while you’re doing that, you can sit back and enjoy a fresh serving of Walker’s Rants.  That’s right Walker’s Rants are a go.

We get it the New England Patriots are good…

Of course three days after I tout how good Pittsburgh is they lay an egg against the Jets…

If there is a way to blow a late season game, Oklahoma will find it…

The success of the spread offense is predicated off the health of the QB…

The Dallas Cowboys are the best team in the NFC…

What happened to the to Florida schools?

The Cleveland Browns should trade Brady Quinn for whatever they can get and go with Anderson as the star of the future…

Where the hell did Chester Taylor come from?

Kansas is not the second best team in the country…

The guy running the video replay booth in Baltimore should be fired right now…

The Virginia Cavaliers already knocking off top 25 teams…

Congratulations Xavier Rugby champions once again…

USA Sevens camp practicing through Thanksgiving… not sure about that idea…

The Cincinnati Bengals should be dismantled and reassembled…

Well done Lloyd Carr, as someone who was touched by you as a coach, your presence will be missed…

Donovan McNabb will not be an Eagle next year…

Hawaii does not deserve a BCS bid…

I don’t care that Barry Bonds got indicted…

What a blessing to hear that Kevin Everett is out of the hospital…

Congrats Notre Dame, you’re better than Duke…

I think I was wrong about this: this side of the Eagles winning their next 6 games, I don't see McNabb returning...I just don't When they drafted a QB with their first pick last April it just screamed "We're rebuilding"...and with future "studs" on the o-line in Justice and Jean-Gilles...I'm getting concerned...

How about Cunningham (and no one else) and the dominating (and i mean dominating) defense?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say BigP...i was on board w/ McNabb in the beginning of the season...but I'm an eagles fan...not a McNabb fan

I wanted him over Williams....that was easy, we needed a QB

But as things have progressed, where are we now...it doesn't matter what McNabb has done...he doesn't get a free pass to play QB (poorly...whether it is his fault or not)...

If Tom Brady started sucking...how long till he gets booted?

My who thing on the McNabb situation in Philly is this: Philly has dogged McNabb from the moment he was drafted by the Eagles. He has had as short of a lesh as any Pro-Bowl QB that I have seen. Even when that team was rolling and going to the NFC Championships and the Super Bowl he was ragged on and dogged for being the reason they couldnt get over the hump. It is very obvious that McNabb has lost his flair and excitment for the sport, because Philly has sucked it out of him.

On the flip side, Philly fans are so eager to throw McNabb under the bus, that they forget where they were before he came in. Yes Cunningham was a good qb, and the Eagles put together some good runs, but they were not considered a powerhouse team. The NFC East was Giants and Skins during the 80's and then Skins and Cowboys in the early and mid 90's.

Bottomline is you dont disregard and throw a franchise qb under the bus unless you have a good plan to replace him in place, and right now the Eagles dont have any of that.

Actually considering how much help the Browns need on defense I would consider something along those lines.

Brady Quinn should not be traded untill the end of either his or Anderson's contract. Then they have to decide who to part with, and by that point, Quinn would be like Schaub, cept for without the starting experience

Hold Quinn and not playing him at all is a big waste of a lot of money considering what they paid him and when he drafted him. Quinn does not have the skill set that Schaub has, or the stench of a fallen prospect like Quinn has.

I'm with you on the quote about Cinncinati, that team's a continual disappointment.

They are falling apart. It is obvious that the Marvin Lewis experience simply isnt working.
