Is Benching McNabb The Right Thing To Do?

I like that Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid is trying to light a spark under quarterback Donovan McNabb, but I don't know that benching him is going to help.

In Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Reid benched McNabb after a terrible first half performance. Reid after the game said that he was trying to help McNabb by making the move.

"Sometimes you have to step back to step forward in a positive way and
Donovan will do that," Reid said.

McNabb finished the game throwing for 59 yards with three turnovers. Maybe McNabb does need something to shake things up. I think he might need a change of scenery. He has always had negativity surround him on the Eagles.

McNabb's horrid passer rating or excessive turnovers are making this his worst season yet. I really do think it is time he part ways with this organization. At season's end, when the Eagles have yet again failed to make the playoffs, McNabb should announce his request to be traded.

Think of how good McNabb could make another team. Think about how the change would benefit him. He could finally win the Super Bowl that he could never get in Philadelphia.
