Donovan McNabb

[Sgt PSN]

I actually was, but not enough to claim drunk posting.  I don't know why, I just have this feeling that voters are going to feel sorry for the guy.

So he's going to be booed into the Hall of Fame?

Hahaha....I never even thought of that.  Could you imagine a guy (any guy) getting booed as his name is announced?  Like if Bonds or Clemens get in the BBHOF, it's pretty much a given that a significant amount of people in the crowd would boo, right?

Poor Donovan McNabb. One of the greatest athletes in Philadelphia history, he'll be forever tainted in the City of Brotherly Love by his failure to win a Super Bowl.

Not winning the SB isn't the reason he'll be forever tainted in Philly. It's because he still acts like a whiney bitch. Lots of Philly fans still love Jaws and it's rare to find those with disdain.

Agreed although if he wins the big one he can act like a whiney bitch all he wants because no one would boo him.

[Eagaholic]

Igs would

[Sgt PSN]

I think the corniness he displayed over his final 2 seasons would have trumped a SB.  They would have been 5 years removed from the SB by the time McNabb danced his way through the tunnel in Dallas and threw out his "we showed our youth today" comment.  SB or not, I think he probably gets blasted either way. 

[Zanshin]

I don't know...a SB win would buy A LOT of good will. That said, his self-important, whiny personality really started to overshadow his football accomplishments. The more he talks, the harder he is to like.

[Sgt PSN]

It's hard to say, but I think that if everything remains the same after the SB (had they won it....and who knows if that would have been the case?) that by then end of 2009 most fans wouldn't care about a 5yr old SB trophy and would be back on his ass again.  I mean, the guy was just absolutely awful (personality wise) during his last 2 years in Philly and his play in the back-to-back games in Dallas at the end of 2009 were basically the 2 worst games of his career and he pretty much shrugged it off and threw the blame on everyone but himself.  You just can't do that, especially when those losses come against Dallas. 

[ice grillin you]

hes despicable and has been that way since spring of 2004
a superbowl would have brought out a ferocious "i told you so" personality on top of the im a HOF qb that no one appreciates that currently exists

[Sgt PSN]

I didn't even take into account how much the douche factor would escalate had they won that SB.  Excellent point though. 

[ice grillin you]

yeah he 100% would have been a sore winner

[General_Failure]

Had he ever won a superbowl, McNabb would have skipped around the field, riding the trophy like a hobby horse while smacking his own ass.

[Zanshin]

False. He clearly would have done that while poorly moonwalking.

[MDS]

what happens if he won one early in his career...back when they had their best teams like 01 or 02

before all the nfccg failures that helped turn him into a bitter, corny douche that resented everyone?

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Especially with a nice pair of chaps.

Then he could take the congratulatory phone call from the President just like he did on the Giants sideline.

If he didn't lose the SB, even if he was just able to get a tie, I think he would have been loved in philly.
