This is the same guy who was calling timeouts because he was so fat and out of shape during a final 4th quarter drive to win a game so he could catch his breath. He dosent deserve another shot.

Seriously McFlabb, where was this “getting in shape” attempt in training camp last year??? Instead of mentioning whether or not you will be getting free meals while in Mankato, MN.

32 Teams????

Does he really think Philly, Washington, Minnesota, New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Carolina, Atlanta, SF, STL, SEA, would want him?….And THAT’S ONLY NFC Teams……13 out of 16 are an AUTOMATIC “NO”!!!

The problem he had in Minnesota wasn’t that his throws were too short—the Vikings kept running patterns longer than 3 yards.

Things have a way of changing. All it takes is an injury or someone under performs or something goofy happens and the next thing you know, this guy’s phone is ringing.

He’s not done yet…….and he’ll certainly extend his career once he comes to the realization that he’s a back up now.

Problem is he dropped the playbook, and never picked it up.

Unless the 15-20 pounds lost is in the form of his head, I’m not optimistic about the impending return…

Donovan McFlab has to lose some tonnage or his days under center are over.

McNabb should know that if a QB gets hurt, he’ll be signed quickly, because most coaches will take their chances with an old, washed-up has-been before a rookie or 2nd year guy.

Why not the Browns? Isn’t he still younger than Weeden? Hey Oh!!!

I figured he’d have to loose some lbs in order to get another shot. See what giving up those chicken wings will do for ya Donovan

It is only a matter of time until Donovan is named as the lead plaintiff in a case against the NFL, because it is quite obvious that he was severely concussed throughout his NFL career.

This was funny for a while, now it’s just getting depressing. Since they’re supposedly on good terms now, maybe T.O. will put in a good word for him with the other owners on his team…

Maybe he should just shut his mouth and some NFL team would sign him.how smart is it to go telling everybody how great you are and are a 1st ballott hall of famer?He’s turned into an older version of TO.

He said he wants to go to the HoF. Yeah, me too. I’ll just buy my plane tickets and maybe you should too.

If there is something most of us can agree on it is that McNabb is a joke and is delusional. Not out of shape? Bad mechanics due to baseball? Shanahan is an overbearing a$$hat? Okay….he got that last one right. This dude needs to shut his piehole. Every time he speaks I cringe. Can he possibly be in THAT much denial? You’re inaccurate, out of shape, confused, entitled and arrogant. I can’t believe I’m about to write this….. T.O. Was RIGHT! Do you have any idea how much that hurt me to type?

McNabb is simply attempting to con some team into signing him as a backup for a couple million a year, or keep his name in circulation if a QB goes down somewhere. But his game has nothing to do with his weight- it was lost for good many years ago.

I thinbk he should sign with the Jets. Then when that train wreck explodes maybe it will take him with it…..He McNabb, I hear that the USFL is hiring

Too bad 35 teams on his 32 team wish list have said no already, with Philly, Washington, and Minnesota adding a 2nd HELL NO for good measure.

maybe he can get a job as groundskeeper to fix all the divots he put in various stadium fields over the past few years with all of his worm shots…

I’m a life long Redskins fan. My co worker is a life long Eagle fan who has season tickets but lives in Maryland. He has told me for years, McNabb is not very good. He misses wide open receivers all the time. If it was not for Reid, their stout defense and Westbrook, he would have been out of the league a long time ago.

When he came to DC, he was out of shape and arrogant. Not that the Shanny’s were any better. But if you are a true professional, you should be ready. He was terrible. Missed wide open guys all day. Threw at receivers feet all the time. And to the running back. Even though he was inline to break his season yardage record, he still wouldn’t be coached. (Wristband!)

Throwing to the RB is not hard or very good. John Beck broke a team record throwing to Helu. This a team with Monk, Taylor, Clark…. on and on and on. Westbrook is the Hall of Famer there. Not McNabb.

And don’t go on ESPN or NFL network anymore. You make Warren Sapp and Michael Irving look intelligent..

Nothing new here. Every preseason he’d work like mad to get in shape and by week six he’d look 20 lbs heavier. He slacks off as soon asthe season starts.

Training on the sand and in the ocean? With all of that fat, he better not cut himself while in the water. It will be a shark feeding frenzy within seconds.

Why couldn’t he have showed up to the Vikings like that instead of debuting with his 35 passing yd effort. Doesn’t that embarrass him?

How about ending your career with the Vikings on a safety in which you didn’t even make the smallest effort to escape. You could have just fallen forward. His mom was so disgusted she walked out on the game.

ESPN asked McNabb whether he’s got a wishlist of teams he wants to play for.

“I have a list,” McNabb replied. “A full list, of 32.”

No worries, he’ll have it back on before midway through the season as ususal and blaming someone else for it, no doubt – Mom’s Chunky soup.

I am having trouble reconciling this story against the concussion lawsuit. There is or is not an inherent danger playing football? Or is it all ok now?

Rush Limbaugh was right all along on both counts. First, McNabb is not a great QB. And second, the mainstream media was not allowed to criticize him because he was the NFL’s “token” black QB. Now, that there are more legitimate black QB’s in the league, Vick, Newton, Freeman, etc, the McNabb critics are free to fire away openly.
