McNabb: 'Let's add some playmakers'
Construda —
... it clear he isn't trying to disrespect current teammates with this cry for help. Maybe some of those playmakers are already on the roster but have struggled with injuries, myself included, that have held us back a little. You can't argue with how the Patriots went outside their locker room and stocked up on playmakers last year. It certainly helped to have Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker and Adalius Thomas making plays for them all year. Read the rest of McNabb's post here .

McNabb Wants Playmakers
Inside the Iggles | A Philadelphia Eagles Blog —
Donovan McNabb wrote on his Yardbarker Blog that he wants the Eagles front office to get more play makers on the team. This is the most surprising thing McNabb has ever posted on his blog, and here is a snippet from what he wrote: Now that the season is over and we are concentrating on 2008, I hope we are able to secure some play makers in all three phases of the game.

Donovan McNabb Writes on His Blog: I Hope We Add Some Playmakers
FanHouse —
Filed under: Eagles, PhiladelphiaThe latest blog post from Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb details his hope that the team's front office will use the off-season to acquire playmakers. That's the kind of statement that is potentially controversial, as the obvious implication of such comments is that the roster as currently constructed lacks the necessary playmakers for the team to succeed. McNabb seems to understand that he might be creating a controversy when he writes this: I'm surprised that anyone would have a problem with me, or anyone else in the organization, expressing a desire to ...

Eagles Roundup
Depressed Fan —
A few pieces of news on the Eagles premature offseason: Donovan McNabb has a post up on his Yardbarker blog which basically says the Eagles need to go out and get playmakers. He makes a point to say the post isn't meant to be a knock on anyone in the locker room. I've said several times the Birds either need to do just that, game a game-changing WR, or they need to go in a different direction at QB. It looks like McNabb's going to stay, so give him a legit deep threat or we're looking at another 8-8 season next year. In related news, Reggie Brown has a post on his Under-Performing Professional Football Players blog which was ...

Donovan McNabb has this great idea for how the Eagles are going to be better next season: they are going to acquire faster, more skilled and generally better players! Wow, do you think it will work? Why doesn’t every team think of that?

The way I hear it, Donovan McNabb is finished in Philadelphia. Evidently he is 100 percent responsible for the Iggles finishing 8-8 and out of the post-season. I think he’s ready to step up to general manager for the Washington Redskins.
I am captivated by McNabb’s assessment of the Eagles roster. “Lets Add Some Weapons” he virtually shouts on his blog post on Yardbarker.
Writes McNabb wistfully:

McNabb Getting His Wish
Poor Sports: Bitter Philly Sports Fans Sound Off —
This off season started with Donovan McNabb making a very public request for some playmakers. Well its only a few days into the free agency period and I get the feeling that McNabb is probably pretty happy. . . Seeing this picture had to put a smile on #5's face. Asante Samuel is the definition of a playmaker. He lead the NFL in INT's over the last 2 years with 16 (a number that exceeds that of Lito and Sheldon combined). One day later McNabb got to see this image: Chris Clemons is a playmaker. He had 8 sacks last year, but only played in 37% of the Raiders defensive ...
