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

I think most people have clearly stated that the problem was the content of his statement and the presentation of said statements that bothered them, not the timing (except maybe IGY).

Debating this now is ludicrous. We won't know if it has any effect on anyone until October at the earliest.

whats ludicrous is that by mcnabb doing it now means it is squashed....he opened up a whole new can of worms...this is absolutely 100% gonna be brought up in the mini and training camps

especially when TO gets to his new team and starts opening his shtein box

It was never squashed. Not if the lockerroom was divided at some point last season. McNabb and AR have ways of handling internal issues that are usually effective with reasonable people, not the"ultimate media drama whore" whose name I will not utter.

I hate that I feel this way, but I agree with IGY 100%.

Why are you all defending McNabb and saying he has a right to be "human"? Most humans don't lead an NFL team to a Super Bowl win, so Donovan can't afford to be like most humans. He's not just any human, and he's not just any pro athlete. He is the franchise player in a pressure-filled city. He has to suck up his feelings and play some damn ball.

EDIT: And to clarify, I wouldn't trade McNabb for 3 Culpeppers. McNabb is the only hope this team has for a Super Bowl in the next decade or so, and I just want him to turn the corner mentally to lead the team there.

That's exactly what he did this whole season until he couldn't go anymore and everyone's been calling him soft because of it.

No one is calling him soft because of what he does on the field, dude. I think he's soft in the sense that he is still hung up on shtein that happened years ago and talking to the media about every single thing moderately bad thing that has ever happened to him in every single interview is farging infuriating.

There is no problem in saying or thinking that McNabb takes comments too close to heart or that he doesnt. What's stupid as all hell are the people saying that McNabb should be traded or that he sucks because of the way he reacts to comments in the media. Stupid ass fans who cannot seperate the difference are the ones blowing the situation up as usual.

I'm not talking about one the field. Everybody in the national and local media was calling him soft because he didn't "fire back" at TO and add to the fire that was blazing all season.

As for him bringing up old shtein... he does so to prove a point in that "here's some more shtein I gotta deal with!" and he's farging right. All this man's done his whole career is win and has to deal with all kinds of stupid shtein from teammates, people who've got no farging reason to be talking about football and the POS's in his own damn city who can't seem to appreciate what they have.

You call him oversensitive... I call it fed up.

McNabb should not be traded, and McNabb does not suck.

Who is going that far with this, and may I please kick their testicles firmly up and out their mouth?

6 - hes a very good qb who i have big doubts about ever winning the big game

4 - good qb who will have good and bad games but isnt capable of winning it all

2 - time to look in another direction

0 - burn em

Feva · February 03, 2006, 10:41:51 AM

8

That's as long as AR provides him an adequate supporting cast.

MURP · February 03, 2006, 10:43:29 AM

8 cant gauruntee a SB because of 1 player. Takes a solid team.

SunMo · February 03, 2006, 10:44:21 AM

i'm 8

rjs246 · February 03, 2006, 10:44:45 AM

8.

I jsut want him to keep his farging mouth shut. farging athletes.

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 03, 2006, 10:45:13 AM

I'm going with 7. Firmly between 6-8. I have doubts, but not BIG doubts. I still believe in him.
