McNabb failed because of the many failings of that team. He was the 2nd most sacked player in the NFL if I’m not mistaken, and was probably trying to learn the system his way. I watched every game and at times he did do terrible, but for the most part I think he’d do better in a better situation

As soon as he was traded out of the Philly cocoon, his weak nature was exposed, and now he is done.

It kept happening game after game. Clearly, McNabb wasn’t executing the plays that Kyle Shanahan was calling. At the time, I thought he was free-lancing, calling his own plays because he didn’t want to listen to a younger coach.

In the light of this story, maybe he was just miscalling plays in the huddle because he didn’t know the verbiage or the playbook.

It is sad, I thought McNabb looked thinner and in much better condition last year than he had for the last few seasons in Philly. I thought he was going to make a huge effort in order to prove Andy Reid wrong. Obviously it wasn’t enough, or that effort didn’t extend to studying his new offense.

A lot of McNabb’s problems were down to an horrific lack of pass blocking but, even taking that into account, his own play was very poor.

The bottom line is that McNabb doesn’t work hard and didn’t want to learn a new Offense!!! Do you think its a coincidence he had the worst season of his career???

I learned to think good things about it during the preseason, but by week 6, I knew the skins brain trust had messed up again. The guy had about 3 or 4 plays he could run well. The rest just didn’t work. Maybe the O-line, but some blame must go to McNabb, after reading this piece. He didn’t know the plays. Makes perfect sense. That’s why shanny jr. had problems with him. I agree with bhester, I think the skins are on the right track now. Finally.

Maybe he benched McNabb in against the Detroit because he felt McNabb didn’t know the plays well enough to run the 2 minute offense. McNabb was a horrible trade but at least the Skins are cutting their losses now and not trying to force the issue…
