McNabb's Injury

[mussa]

Mussa, I dont know who the f your calling a douche, but by the time your supposed football IQ gets to my football IQ, you'll be the 40 yr old virgin, still sitting in your video game rocker chair, with PS2 headphones, sharing secret codes with your vidiot friends over in Europe nerd

your attempt at belittling me made you look dumb as usual.

Aww did I hurt your feelings calling you a douche? Painting a picture of me being a video game geek isn't giving you football "IQ" points bro.  Back on topic, are you argueing the fact that running the ball opens up opportunities, or are you just going to act like an asshat as usual. Stick to football, since thats your specialty, apparently.

"He accepts that injuries are part of the game. He is disappointed I know," Burkholder said. "The last thing I said to him last night when he was leaving was, 'we'll get you right,' and he said, 'we've got to get these guys right.'

Interesting.

Who is he referring to? The coaches? The other players? His testicles? TELL ME!!

Ha... I can't believe Burkholder let that one out of the bag.

Well, knowing the fans, they'll say that McNabb is pinning the lack of performance on the others & deflecting it from himself.

He is most likely saying that he doesn't want to see everyone give up & keep fighting.

Probably right. And the McNabb haters will overlook this as a sign that he is indeed a leader of the team. I took it as him saying "these iceholes suck, they need to get better".

I wish this team had some heart and took this as a challenge like they did in 2002. But the defense would be the ones who have to step it up like in '02 and I don't see this group of slackers doing that.

It sounded to me like McNabb was feeling sorry for himself.  Understandable considering he just ripped his knee to shreds.

Burkholder relaying comments like that to the media is more surprising, IMO.

I don't even know what you're trying to say there but it sounds completely ridiculous. So I'll just assume that it is.

What I am trying to say is that everyone likes to point out how McNabb is not a leader and doesn't care but this shows that is not the case.

[rjs246]

I don't see for one second how it shows that. It might be the most ambiguous quote I've ever seen. It could mean that or the complete opposite. You're grasping.

we finally agree on something

[The BIGSTUD]

You have no control over whether you yourself are a leader or not. That is decided by your teammates. If they follow McNabb through thick and thin then he is a leader. If they don't trust him to lead the team then he isn't a leader.

There are different ways to be portrayed as a leader and grabbing people by the facemask when they mess up has NOTHING to do with it. You are who you are and if people follow you then you are a leader, regardless of your demeanor.

[shorebird]

Leader or not, the Eagles need desperately to draft a quarterback in the draft. There is no guarantee that McNabb comes back from this. He probably won't be ready for the start of the season next year.

why is it that carson Palmer tore 3 ligaments in his knee and he came back on time, now Donovan might not be ready till november?
