Progresso >> Chunky TAKE THAT MAMMA MCSTUPID!

[Event Horizon]

Phreak do you not think McNabb could benefit from being a little more open and fiery on the field?  I think that type of personality commands more respect than someone who gets a little mopey or is acting jovial during a tight game.  McNabb is a million times more talented than Garcia but I think Garcia has a better head for the game. I think McNabb could learn from the way Garcia ran the team.

That's a bunch of crap!

The only one needing learning about the running of an offense is Reid. The "fiery" persona of Garcia is really overblown. He was winning. Do you think anyone recalls that crap if he's losing? No. And why did he win? He won because the offense was better called and balanced. Reid couldn't figure that out on his own because at the same time he was learning to become an OC he had the luxury of McNabb pulling his nuts out of the fire time and again. That is what he knows and that's what he does. When McNabb went down he was out of his element. Send in the outcasts. Garcia and Mornigwhiggle was off the hizzle because B-West and the offensive line are the shizzle. McNabb is blamed for the incompetence of Reid while Garcia gets the kudos for the competence of a disgraced coach. Think about that. Morningwaggle, someone unable to show himself a good HC in Detriot, is better at the job of play calling than his boss. It's really a shame.

Fire in the belly is beside the point. The point should be fire the Belly.

Emotion plays a role in sports whether you want to believe it or not. You can't quantify it, so people love to argue against it, but anyone who has played any sort of sport knows that it plays a role.

McNabb and Reid have no emotions about losses. Or if they do, they are so internalized that they don't ever show. People are suspicious of that, and rightfully so. Saying Garcia is a better QB is idiocy. It's stupid beyond the point where it should even be discussed. But he is almost certainly more of a leader. Hell, I'm probably more of a leader. Emotion matters. The people that sit at the top of this team and should be the leaders don't have any of it.

man how do ppl  get inside sources like this? ecket has some and igy seemingly lives inside of mcnabbs mind to know every single emotion he has ever felt or does not feel.

i wish i was lucky like that.

Jon said (paraphrasing)"He's the starting QB at that time. What else are we going to say? You have to pledge your support for whoever is playing. That's the way it is. Donovan was out hurt so we had to get behind him (Garcia)"

ironic no?...that mcnabb is upset about the same exact thing that started the whole TO fiasco

[BigEd76]

Garcia coming up on Leno's show after the commercial break

[MDS]

Had it on mute while doing some econ homework. No idea he was on. Haha.

[BigEd76]

quick recap:

-- Eubanks played the Eagles fight song when Garcia came out
-- Garcia gave one of those stupid Boscovs T-shirts to Jon Cryer, who was the main guest
-- talked about the boos he got from Eagles fans in the Titans and Panthers games
-- looked at Cryer (a NYC native) and bragged about beating the Giants twice in 4 weeks
-- said he talks to his dad before every game
-- said he talks to Bill Walsh occasionally and he isnt doing well health-wise
-- when asked about his future, he hesitated to say anything....."I hope we can work something about. I enjoyed my time in Philadelphia."  (bolded for the people that want to pick that one apart)
-- Leno:  "Can you work out another..."accident"? *wink wink nudge* "
-- picked the Colts to win the Super Bowl

McNabb not being allowed to go to a road game because he was on IR is what started the TO fiasco?

[ice grillin you]

no mcnabb is upset with some of his teammates for being too pro garcia...did you even read runyans comments...can you read at all...are you retarded...or do you just read what you wanna hear

[PhillyGirl]

Mark Eckel's source?

Hugh Douglas

And a conversation with Kevin Johnson, who admittedly has not spoken to McNabb in months. He was speculating as to how McNabb was feeling.

Don't ask me how I know these things. But most of you know how.

[ice grillin you]

i dont know about all the not going to new orleans stuff or the issue with his mothers blog....but runyans comments clearly show that mcnabb was at least somewhat upset over the love garcia was getting...otherwise he would have no reason to try and defend his actions

[PhillyGirl]

He was on the show as he always is and was being bombarded with the stuff about McNabb. His response was in no way implying what you are saying at all. I watched it and he wasn't "defending" McNabb, he was just saying that McNabb was behind Garcia as the rest of the team was.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Maybe I didn't write it correctly, but Runyan was saying that to refute the PFT report that he all of a sudden hitched his support wagon to Garcia.

Barkann read the report and then stopped at the section where Florio said that two player on the veterans committee were supporting Garcia.

Runyan then said that what else were they going to say to the coach and the media? That they don't support the backup? He said you roll with and support the guy who they put in there. That's the way it is.

Where does TO get brought into this and how does it show that McNabb was hurt? My typing McNabb was hurt was Runyan saying in essence "Donovan is out injured and we have to support the backup QB."

And I am not shocked that Kevin Johnson is being used as a source by Eckel. Not shocked at all.
