They did; Terrell Owens.
My beef has never been with McNabb - he's probably one of the best QB's ever to wear an Eagles uniform (though that's not saying much coming from the land of Pete Liske, Mike Boryla, Rick Arrington, John "don't call me John-boy" Walton, and that lovely three headed monster of Jim McMahon, Pat Ryan and Jeff Kemp).
IMO, Reid has been the problem with the franchise of late by neglecting see tne need for a balanced (60/40 to 40/60) attack. Consider this: In the Bengals-Eagles game the Eagles had 18 third down opportunities. To convert these third downs to first downs they chose to pass the ball .... 18 times. Including several 3rd-and-less-than-4-yards chances. For the love of God, why couldn't they try to run the ball just once?
