McNabb's Remark

[The BIGSTUD]

Definitely. I'm also sick of hearing about McNabb "mental state" going into the season. It's way overblown. It's funny how people think somehow TO's antics are going to make McNabb throw interceptions in 2006. McNabb had a bad season last year because of his sports hernia. It had nothing to do with anything mentally. He made a costly mistake against the Cowboys. It happens. It had nothing to do with TO being in his head.

The people that scrutinize and hate on McNabb are idiots they are the same ass bags that wanted Ricky Williams and feel they need to pick apart McNabb to make up for their own stupidity. McNabb is hands down the best QB in Eagles history.

I couldn't agree more. I look forward to seeing him prove everyone wrong, again.

he wont prove anything unless he wins a superbowl

Haven't you heard? We aren't even picked to win the division this year, much less make the playoffs or the Superbowl.

The only reason people don't think the Eagles will win the division is simply because the 6-10 season is fresh in their heads. People look at this team and say they didn't make enough improvements to get to an 11-5/12-4 team. Well, as far as I'm concerned, this team wasn't  6-10 team last season. It was a fluke year, and they were a 12-4 team that played like a 6-10 team. Injuries, distractions, and players not playing to their capabilities all contributed.

We are every bit as good right now as this team was in 2004. The only position I can see that we aren't as strong right now is receiver. But as a group we are better. TO was a great player, but Pinkston and Mitchell weighed them down as a group. Brown, Pinkston, Gaffney and Avant doesn't have the go to threat we had with TO, but there is more talent spread around.

im just saying...he has nothing left to do but win a superbowl...if he doesnt do that hes just another qb and will never be anything more

theres nothing he can do other than win a sb that will prove anything to anyone

I agree to a point.  While a SB is the only thing that will get the folks off his back and he shakes that "choker" label for good... I think that something can be said for him returning to his pro-bowl form and taking the East back w/o TO... and proving that he's still one of the best in the league.

There sure are a whole lot more people out there that doubt him than there were before the 2005 season.

Just like Dan Marino or Jim Kelly.

It's unwarranted doubt. He was hampered by the sports hernia all season and made a bad play vs the Cowboys and now all of a sudden he's too fragile to win.

Last time I checked, even the almighty Tom Brady threw a crucial interception in the playoffs that cost his team the game. Brady is the better QB, but the point is it happens sometimes.

McNabb hasn't proven to be the clutch QB Brady is, but McNabb is far from a choker.

just for the record.....whats your definition of choker? tell me yours and i'll tell you mine

He's more than just another qb. Is Dan Marino "just another qb??" Is Payton Manning? There are a lot of Pro Bowl qb's who haven't won a Superbowl. They aren't "just another qb."

Peyton Manning.

Someone who plays at their worst when the game the biggest of games.

I disagree.  It's not the fact that the Eagles haven't made much improvements/changes to the team.  It's the fact that the rest of the division is catching up to them or maybe even caught up. 

A division title is not a gimmie in this division now.  Not with this team.  There's still a bunch of questions that need to be answered before anyone will know for sure.  This team's definately much better than 6-10 but with some of the improvements other teams in the division have made over the last few years, nothing is a given.  Except that the skins suck.

I don't even think that the McNabb haters will get off his back even if the Eagles do win a SB.  If McNabb wins a SB it'll be because of the defense or special teams or *cough* running game *cough*.

I have to give the Giants and the Skins more than one good year before I can consider this division greatly improved. If the Giants and Skins come out this year and play well again, then I'll consider it greatly improved, but not yet. Teams have had random great years after a series of bad years, then went back to being bad again. As far as I'm concerned the Giants and Skins were as much of a fluke last year as the Eagles were until proven otherwise.

Looking at the rest of the division on paper I'm far from impressed. Especially since this division has one of the worst groups of QBs excluding McNabb in the entire league.

Eli, Brunell, and Bledsoe all suck. Plus they all have sub-par offensive lines as well. I'm not saying these teams blow, but I'm saying to me it's not a given yet that this is going to be a tough division. They are better but the question is how much?
