Will they? Probably not. But yes, they should sign him. Jay Cutler is out for the year. He is expected to miss 6-8 weeks and he has said he is not sure he will return.

"His time in Washington was terrible. His time in Minnesota has been no better."

His time in Minnesota was a lot better than his time spent in Washington.

60.3%, 171ypg, 6.58ypa, 4 TD's, 2 INT's, with an 82.9 Passer Rating

Those aren't awful numbers, they are better than the player who replaced h

He led the Vikings to first half leads against San Diego, Tampa Bay, and Detroit. But poor coaching by a first year HC and a less than stellar defense that couldn't maintain some seriously huge leads.

It can't all be lumped on DM. QB's get too much of the credit when teams win and too much blame when they lose.

McNabb is just 1 player. Where is the the accountability for the other players?

*Houston would be the best fit, but they just signed Jake Delhomme. I doubt they would sign McNabb as well.*

MTC.

"A QB rating of 82.9 isn't very good, O-line be damned."

Glad, you brought that up. Christian Ponder has completed just 54.4% of his passes for 190ypg, 6.8ypa, 6 TD's, 6 INT's, with a 72.6 PR behind that OL.

Adrian Peterson is an excellent RB, no doubt about that whatsoever. But he is pretty one dimensional imo. When McNabb was at his best in Philadelphia, what did he have? A dual threat RB in Brian Westbrook.

Matt Forte and Arian Foster are more complete RB's than Peterson. AP has just 16 receptions this season.

McNabb ran the ball 14 times (5 FD's) for 59 yards (4.1ypc) with a long run of 23 yards. He also ran for a TD. He isn't as mobile as he used to be, but he isn't ready for the rocking chair.

Hanie is not very accurate. This is not the time you want to have a youngster learn the offense. The Bears are fighting for a wild card. Bring in McNabb.

Houston would be the best fit, but they just signed Delhomme. No clue why, he is horrible. The last time he played in a Browns uni, he had 2 TD's to 7 INT's, with a 62 PR.

"Talking about Peterson's receiving numbers is irrelevant."

Because it doesn't help prove your point, but it helps mine. I got it. The point I am trying to make is DM had his success in Philly when he had a RB that could run and catch the ball. Passes to RB's are safer passes than ones thrown to WR's.

Bring him in and have a scaled back offense for a couple games (Kansas City, Denver, and Seattle are the next 3) as he gets his feet wet. Look at what Carson Palmer has done with the Raiders. And McNabb has played this year, unlike CP who came to the Raiders without any game experience this season. McNabb has never been known as a turnover machine.

For the majority of his career he didn't have great WR's (except for TO and DeSean Jackson). But, McNabb would have some talent at WR in Johnny Knox. Knox had 4 catches (in 10 targets) for 145 yards against Oakland. Hanie completed just 40% of his passes to Chicago's best deep threat. McNabb is a lot more accurate than Hanie. Nearly 60% for his career.

Chicago has a playoff berth on the line. But Hanie is a better than McNabb? A career 55.6% passer with 6 INT's?

Um, no.
