McNabb's Injury

Drunkmasterflex · November 19, 2006, 08:06:51 PM

He is definately injury prone. They really need to address the QB situation in the offseason, I am not sure what they should do whether they need to draft a young guy or get a veteran.

I'll settle this argument real quick. Show me another QB in this league who's been injured as much as McNabb has. For as many rules as they put in to protect the QB you have to be 'injury prone' to miss that much time. He's as injury prone as there is. Case closed.

Rex Grossman has been injured more than McNabb in half the time. Leftwich has missed 11 games in the last 3 years. Pennington had missed 22 games in the 3 years before this one.

Point taken though.

if your gonna sit here and even argue that McNabb isnt injury prone shows your lack of knowledge of football. The broken ankle I understand, but plenty of QB's take big hits and dont break a rib or get a hernia or whatever else has happened to McNabb.

...but when your run to the outside and tear an ACL without getting hit...ummm...yeah your pretty injury prone. This thread is a waste of 6 pages to argue.

You can't say that he's missed a lot of time with minor injuries. He's managed to tear himself up pretty well each time.

He's definitely seems to be injured a lot in the last few seasons. Call it injury prone, call it luck, I don't care. Bottom line is that the Eagles are less than mediocre without him.

Exactly. All everyone is doing here is just trying to label a player. It doesnt matter. The only argument you can do is "if he's injury prone, they need to have an insurance policy." Unless the Eagles are going to sign a starting caliber QB or draft a 1st - 2nd round QB, it's useless to talk about, because we all know that won't happen.

almost every team is less than mediocre without thier star QB

newsflash: mcnabb was pretty pedestrian anyway...did you see him play the last month including todays game before he got hurt

they werent going anywhere with him and they arent going anywhere without him

Get Doug Pederson!

reese125 · November 19, 2006, 08:29:19 PM

aside from the disgusting defense....yeah, he had the best QB rating in the league last month...your point?

ice grillin you · November 19, 2006, 08:48:45 PM

This team is simply not the same without Ike Reese.

its not the same without ray rhodes defenders

andy lived off that shtein for three years...last couple years hes actually had to put forth an effort to build his own team....we are now seeing the results

This injury will be a true test what kind of coach Andy Reid is. I already made up my mind about him. I just hope the organization doesn't blame this injury on the downfall of the Eagles this season and last. Will Reid continue to throw the ball 75% plus the rest of the year despite having 2 backups who are not even half the player McNabb is? Will they adjust and try a different approach, like maybe trying to outwit your opponents. This is a great opportunity for the running backs and o-line to show what they have, that is if they adjust to the players they have now at QB. Any idiot would take their chances on Westbrook, Buck, Mahe, Moats and the o-line than Garcia or Feeley and the o-line and 75% pass playcalling. We'll all see. Well really, I could care less, because I don't think Reid has a clue, not a god damn clue.

Munson · November 19, 2006, 09:19:12 PM

I have enough faith to think that Reid will run the ball, and it will turn into a 3-headed monster type thing. I also know that this team isn't nearly good enough to win with Westbrook alone on offense. Feeley might be able to get the ball to the other playmakers like Stallworth, but it won't be enough. The defense isn't good enough to keep the offense in games to let a back-up QB "manage" the games.

What? Look at the defense that took them to the Super Bowl it was mostly AR players.
