Shocker: Donovan McNabb Is on the Hot Seat

This summer has been relatively quiet in terms of Eagles news and drama compared to years past. Aside from the issue of what the team will do with talented corner back Lito Sheppard, about the only thing Eagles fans had to talk about was Donovan McNabb's sore shoulder.

With McNabb's health once again entering the conversation, it's no suprise that Fox Sports list McNabb as one of 10 NFL players on the hot seat in 2008. But they didn't stop there, oh no, they had to resort to the tried and true way to make your article lose all credibility. They went to sit on Santa's lap.

In a town whose fans would ask Santa Claus, 'What have you done for us lately?' the guy suiting up at quarterback never feels comfortable sitting down in Philly. With understudy Kevin Kolb learning more of the playbook every day, the pressure on McNabb will intensify. But he could keep Philly happy by handing the ball to Brian Westbrook and flipping it to rookie DeSean Jackson. Here's some good news: the offensive line returns intact. Here's some bad news: Eagles quarterbacks were sacked 49 times last season.

Despite resorting to the Santa garbage, there is some truth to McNabb being on the hot seat. After all, McNabb is the quarterback of the football team in Philadelphia.

That guy is always on the hot seat.
