McNabb on NFL Network, NFL Live, SportsCenter, etc.

gotcha.
and i agree that it's been brought up before...mostly by fans & some media.  now that a player brought it up, it's bigger news.

[SD_Eagle5]

Here's a good question: Where was all this 'McNabb is not a leader' talk last season? Convenient that this comes up now. 

That's BS.  Plenty of people were questioning his leadership after watching how he was running the "hurry up" offense at the end of the Super Bowl.  Down two scores with 5 minutes to go, and they're huddling up.  Unacceptable.

They were? I recall them questioning the coaching but not his leadership.

i'm not sure what you mean by convenient that it comes up now. but i think it's coming up in the media now because of hugh's comments.

It comes up now because we're losing and this town is so damn negative. Guess I didn't realize it so much when I was in San Diego, but damn, you'd think Donovan had wronged them some how. "I don't like him because he smiles too much". His leadership ability was good enough to take us to the Superbowl without TO but now because we're losing it's not? Give me a break.

[SD_Eagle5]

I think he's saying that the Eagles finally threw up a complete stinker of a season in which McNabb was never healthy or looked to be particularly dominant, and this is the *first* time anyone's questioning his leadership.

The problem with that is that this is not the first time.

Maybe I'm wrong then. I just don't recall it being this big of a subject until now.

ive been questioning mcnabbs intestional fortitude for several years...as ray lewis would say he doesnt have that dog in him...nor does the entire team which is a direct result of being coached by reid...i think it a big part of why they have trouble getting over the hump

i dont question mcnabbs leadership abilities...hes not the best leader ive ever seen on the field but hes plenty good enough and is far from the worst...but hes emotionally weaker than seven days and i dont know if you can quartervback a championship team in philly or anywhere for that matter with that kind of make-up...that said he made it to the superbowl so i will still believe he can but id change the coahing staff first...i dont think the combo of mcnabb reid will ever win one

Name me one player in the NFL whose done more with less.

1. McNabb's two-minute drill was Reid's fault. Can't exactly hurry up if there aren't any plays coming into the helmet can ya, geniuses?

2. Stop harping on the final 5 minutes of the SB. The game was lost in the first half. And it was McNabb's fault then. He threw some dumbass INT's. The one to Bruschi was the killer. If they play turnover free they win. But the last 5 minutes was all on Big Red, boys and girls.

3. Sheldon was critical of McNabb, but let;s not make it seem like he hates the guy. Go read what he said in the article I posted. While critical he also supported him.

4. And Hugh also supported Donovan while being critical of him. It's like some of you only see the bad things they said. And what Hugh said is what I've been saying for a long time...Donovan is not a vocal leader. He leads by example on the field. He will not go all win-one-for-the-gipper on you. And he'll step up when need be, we just don;t hear about it all the time. Anyone heard about the incident with TO in NY before this week? Yeah, me either.

You're not going to play that game because you know you'd lose. Brady? Nope, has more offensive weapons, a great running game,  and a better line than McNabb. Manning? No way, he has all the talent in the world around him. So who?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Huh?

I said that SB loss was on Reid & McNabb. The defense shares in the blame too. But if McNabb doesn't turn it over in the first half, they win.

i can live with that

peace

Maybe not this BIG of a subject, but the breadth of the discussion notwithstanding, it's certainly been mentioned in the media and by fans plenty of times before.

Eh, just cut him and roll the dice with Scramblin' McMahon!

I don't wanna read this thread anymore, but I just can't help myself.  It's like watching a retard have an argument with a sneaker -- you know it's stupid, but you can't stop watching.

If only I had lock powers....
