I’m glad his stay in DC was short.

Contrary to what someone said, he’s actually very underrated. I’ve never seen such a successful qb get ripped so often. But as for this, he needs to realize he’s not starting because the season is over.

But let’s take it one step further. McNabb is tied for 29th in the league in TD passes with people such as Chad Henne (missed half of the games played so far) and Blaine Gabbert. McNabb ranks 32nd in the league in yards per game. He also ranks 27th in total passing yards and 25th in yards per attempt.

Next, for the guy who stated that McNabb has had 60 pass attempts less than his opponents, let me remind you of two things. Number 1, the Vikings have Adrian Peterson and as a result, rank 3rd in the league in rushing. Number 2, revisit point # 1. McNabb is not their best player. AP is! Without Peterson, the McNabb’s stats would be much worse.

To finalize my stance on this, let’s revisit the Passing rating statistic that someone brought up earlier. McNabb ranks a respectable 18th for all “qualified” players (i.e. having a certain number of passing attempts). But let’s look at who is above him: Alex Smith, Jason Cambpell, Andy Dalton, and Curtis Painter. So if conclusion, if the McNabb fans want to point out statistics, make sure you include the full spectrum instead of picking and choosing which stats justify your stance.

Now there’s a thought! But with McNabb’s luck, Peyton Manning would make a miraculous recovery and be ready to play next week and McNabb would be back on the bench and crying again.

Ponder – well, he’s rough and has a lot to learn but you can tell he is putting in real effort. Given what he has to work with in regards to experience and a completely demoralized team, he’s not doing too badly.

Had McNabb stayed the starter, the record would be the same but the team morale would have been significantly lower. In the sub-basement. With Ponder, the players can see that the suckage will not be permanent and they might even win a game or two before the season ends.

Maybe McNabb should call the Colts. . . .

Is McNabb a top 10, franchise saving quarterback? No. But judging from the statistics, he’s not completely washed up the way most people seem to believe.

True, not very good. McNabb’s yards per attempt stat isn’t great. But if you want more passing yards then throwing the ball 60 times less than your opponents so far this year won’t get you there.

I don’t think the Vikings should pay this guy to go home early. Things weren’t his fault entirely, but he was entirely awful for his part. Ponder came started against the best team the Vikings had seen all season long and already had thrown for more first downs than McNabb seemingly all season long about midway through the second quarter.

I see why Frazier made a point of saying it was Ponder *for the rest of the season*, now. At this point, making this clown squirm on the bench would be more amusing than outright releasing him, unless he’s keeping young talent off the roster.

Granted, Frazier did say it was because Ponder gives them a better chance to win. But let’s be clear, if the Vikes defense plays better this season, and the Vikes were sitting at 4-2, and McNabb played how he played and Ponder practiced how he practiced, then McNabb doesn’t get benched. Plain and simple.

You can win a superbowl with Trent Dilfer. But you ain’t gonna play the old dude if your team is out of the playoff picture and there is a 1st rounder on the team.

When Donavan was an eagle I always supported his on field play, but his attitude and ability to make losses everyone else fault is really awful. I remember after the Dallas playoff loss he blamed it on desean and the rest of the eagles young guys when clearly the problem was 5. He is just a flat out uppity dick.

At this point I will be happy to see this douche fade away but I get the bad feeling he will be vicks backup next season
