Even if it is, it doesn't really matter... The important question is "Can he stay healthy for a whole year???"... And the answer to that is NO...

No. Culpepper had a similar injury last year (his was worse because he tore all three ligaments in his knee) and he rushed back into starting. It seems that McNabb is doing the same thing. First of all, he is going to have to play with that brace. If he tries to play without it, he is going to experience tightness and swelling because the tendons and ligaments are not strong enough to sustain the movement like they were. That brace will take away quick movements and cutbacks from McNabb while he is in the pocket. Also, playing in cold Philly will cause general pain and discomfort and will eventually lead to arthritis.
I say that he should expect to take at least the first half of the season off. Don't rush back and see where his knee is at. If he loses this year, so what, he will be able to play maybe another 5-6 years, but if he goes out there prematurely and does more damage, he is hurting his future and his team.

Nothing Campbell's Extra Chunky Chicken Fajita Chunky Soup can't fix. Just kidding. As a Cowboys fan I am looking forward to an exciting year between the Eagles and the Cowboys. I hope McNabb is at his best.

He said he felt his knee was 75% when pressed on the matter he made it clear this was just a figure of speech. It feels good it could be better than 75%. that being said it probably won't reach its maximum 'til next season.
As to the rest of the offense- Westbrook is one of the most versatile and dangerous backs in the league. The made a concerted effort to add a change of pace back in Tony Hunt. The wide recieving corp is fine. Baskett and Avant proved they can play last season. Curtis's speed will stretch defenses.
And by the way, has anyone noticed where Stallworth is these days? Physically-unable to perform...

He states that his knee is 70-75% healthy and that he does not need much more than that to start and be very effective.
Crazy how fast these guys heal these days...but hopefully they are not rushing him back too quickly like the Dolphins did with Daunte.

He will never be 100% again, hes simply too banged up. But he still is a great qb. They just dont have much offensive help to help him.

I don't think he'll ever be 100% again. But he'll be pretty close to it.

He'll be healthy enough to puke with the best of them.
