McNabb's passer rating

[bobbyinlondon]

Who would have thought, with the relative inexperience of the recievers, that McNabb's passer rating would be in the 100s through 6 weeks of the season? Presently, he leads the league with a 104.8 rating--now if he could only run when he gets in trouble, throw the ball away, or throw early when he has a reciever wide open (as Smith was on first drive on Sunday).

it would be even higher if the WR's would strop dropping the damn ball.

I would trade 20 QB rating points for a farging running game.

Looks like we caught that dropped pass virus from Seattle.

McNabb still falls into that mental trap in thinking that if he runs the ball people will say that he can't throw with accuracy and efficiency. He obviously proved that, and I think the onus on many is on the WR's, especially this season, for dropping the balls that hit them in the chest.

If McNabb just busts a decent run -- for 8-12 yards, the Defense has to play looser and respect his scrambling abilities. He did that earlier in the year, but now it seems like he went back into his shell that "if I scramble people will think I'm not a QB who can win a game with his arm" -- that's bunk. And I still think that's a mental obstacle he has to overcome -- even in the prime of his career.

I can remember a few times when he had the ability to run in the Saints game but decided to try and buy more time in the pocket. If he get's injured running -- fine. He probably has the same probability getting severely injured scrambling around in the backfield trying to buy time and getting blindsided by someone who missed a blocking assignment. At least when he's running in the open field has has the ability to slide. . .

McNabb breaking a run energizes everyone, builds momentum, and keeps the chains moving. It still doesn't make sense why he doesn't use that ability more often.

I think what it comes down to (in his mind.....and no I'm not a mind reader, I'm just speculating) is that he wants to give the recievers every possible opportunity to get open and make plays.  I think his scrambling is simply going to be limited to, for the most part, games where no one seems to be stepping up downfield.  IE: Green Bay game. 

The recievers weren't getting open and the running game was crap in the redzone.  So McNabb decided to do all the work in the 2nd half and things finally opened up.  And I think that's what we're going to see from McNabb from here on out. 

[Wingspan]

let's not forget how mentally fragile he is.

[General_Failure]

And slow.

[rjs246]

And fat. Don't forget fat.

But seriously, I still don't trust him to win a big game. Bash away, douches.

Bashes.  Asterik, asterik.

I'm glad you said it.

You'd better start, he could be the  best chance you'll ever have in your lifetime.

Really though, can you take anything away from this man?? After TO and all the other puke and shtein??? Who made who better?? farg that punk bitch.

What other qb has gone through half what Dmac has and come back like he has so far?? He's the man, plain and simple. If nothing else, he should have the respect of every decent football fan out there.

Listen to this man.

You are completely missing the point. Every big game opportunity that he has been in has resulted in failure. Have they all ben his fault? No. Has he elevated himself above the other mitigating circumstances? No.

I'm not attacking him. Or saying that he hasn't overcome a lot. Arguing that would be idiotic. McNabb and Westbrook are two of my favorite players and they certainly have my respect (assuming otherwise is assinine). But they are flawed and everyone with a brain can see it.

I'm simply saying that until he wins on the biggest level I will not trust him to put this team on his back, against good competition, on the biggest stage and carry this team to a championship. I will always have doubts.

But seriously. He's fat. And this team needs to learn to run the ball rather than just put every farging game on the shoulders of one player.

If that were true they wouldnt have ever gotten to the NFC Championship game multiple times, nor the superbowl.
