In general, McNabb won more than he lost. He’s a winner to a certain extent, but definitely not a champion. Oh, I misspelled winner. It’s “whiner”

But he seriously needs to shut up now.

Ever heard of Alex Smith?

Ryan Leaf?

How about Jamarcus Russell?

DM, please shut up now. Dude you had some success and the Philly fans did get behind you for a time. You had REASONABLE targets to throw the Ball to a Run game and a Line that protected you more than they didn’t.

I’ll just use Smith as an example who has had NONE of this over the last 7 years. The one thing he did have finally was a Coach that understood Offense. You’ve had that your entire career. Stop trying to play the sympathy card. That’s the thing I admired about you. You didn’t whine “oh poor me”.

Smith finally has a reasonable amount of success and fans still want him gone. You’re pathetic dude.

McNabb should have know better than to claim to Skip that Tim Tebow isn’t the Marytr of the NFL. Skip is void of any level of objective thinking when it comes to Tebow. What’s even worst is his desire to continually give Tebow WAY more credit as a QB than he desires.

Instead of professing to be the most “unfairly criticized QB” incomparison to Tebow, maybe McNabb should ask why is someone like Tebow, who isn’t such a great QB, given so much leeway with those in the media.

Yes, because everyone knows ESPN HATES controversial loud mouths on their airwaves.

Second, McNabb does get a bad rap, his numbers were better than the general treatment he received in his career. There are inferior (dare I say white) QB’s who get/got as much press, if not more. He made 5 NFC championship games. From the time he game into the league, and got a little experience under his belt, the Eagles and the Packers were the two best teams in the NFC, his numbers very comparable to Favre’s over that time (of course Favre being past his Golden Years of the mid-90′s, but still was fawned over as the best QB ever in the space/time continuum) and McNabb had nearly the same stats and had equal team success, if not better.

The problem being he didn’t have what it took to get over the hump in the playoffs. There are a few QB’s in this pass happy era who perform well enough in the regular season where there’s always next week and 3 out of 4 is good enough (McNabb, Romo, and even the post mid-90′s Favre). But single elimination playoffs is a different thing, and McNabb didn’t quite shine there. But, then again, neither did Favre, as both the Packers and Eagles succumbed to the inferior remainder of the NFL, the Packers in WC or Div rounds, and McNabb a little further on. That’s how the NFC sent a different team to the Super Bowl from 2001-2010. Its two best teams bombed out, while the three best AFC teams (IND, NWE, PIT) have traded off the top berth. Top tier success, rightly or wrongly, ultimately defines a QB.

But it does stand that being near the top of the “silver tier” QB’s, McNabb didn’t get enough love for it. I hate the race card and how easily it can be played, but the Flaccos and Schaubs, and the Kolbs, of the NFL get blown out of proportion and a superior McNabb doesn’t/didn’t get a fair allocation of the spot light. And he wasn’t a classless jerk, or not without a little charm in front of a microphone. The only explanation seems to be the color of his skin. I think a lot of people still think of the QB as a white position, subconsciously if nothing else.

P.S. Where are all the folks that called the Eagles to Redskins McNabb trade the worst of all time? Eagles are no worse without him, better at times. The only player the Eagles let go too early in this era was Brian Dawkins. Granted, he couldn’t cover anybody anymore, but we could have used his leadership, smarts and hits in ’11.

Guess it is better to ruin your lunch then to loose it.

Hey McNabb, if you were really a 1/4 of the QB you think you were and are by representing yourself in such a say, why would the Eagles trade you to their divisional rival?

Buyer beware. If a divisional opponent is trading their “star” player to their divisional rival, it is probably because they know that player sucks. Otherwise, why would they make a trade like that?

Has there ever been a trade like that, where a team trades a bonified star QB to a team in their own division?

Please, dont tell me Bledsoe to Buffalo. That only proves my point.

McNabb is just one in a long line of certain people that buy into the false notion that they are perpetual victims.

When your own teammate kills you in the media, and your own coach abandons you, then you suck, in the manner they thought they would, doesnt mean they were wrong. It actually validates their assessment.

Unreal, how he would attack Shanahan. Made a pro bowler out of Griese, out of Plummer, and Cutler. I say that about them, cause they all sucked everywhere else. Cutler is looking better. I guess it is about time.

McNabb or McRibb

Worms at stadiums around the league are rejoicing at his possible retirement.

Pretty safe to say…
The media doesn’t like him.
So many “fans” hate him.
The players respect him.

Tells you all you need to know.

His “declining skills” coincidently (sic) coincided with what became a deplorable work ethic, blah, blah, blah endless stream of BS..”
——————————

His “declining skills” coincidentally coincided when he was traded to two awful teams. Go figure.

“If not for the Limbaugh incident, and Andy Reid running an over simplified offense ”

Andy Reid running a simplified offense? No better proof than so many of his critics are idiots!
