Donovan McNabb

[phillymic2000]

never once said i was right about anything...i predicted the eagles to destroy that sorry ass team

and one of the main reasons the arizona offense is better is because they have a two time mvp and sb winner at qb

Agreed, it also helps that they have 2 fargin 2 True #1 wr's and we have none

[ice grillin you]

if yesterday doesnt show andy that a #1 wr is important then nothing will

[General_Failure]

if yesterday doesnt show andy that a #1 wr is important then nothing will

But McNabb sucks regardless, right?

[MDS]

never will

pats won 3 bowls w/out moss
tampa and carolina beat the eagles we/out a #1

obviously those teams > the eagles but andy dont see it that way

[General_Failure]

never will

pats won 3 bowls w/out moss
tampa and carolina beat the eagles we/out a #1

Teams that have not considered running the ball to be a gimmick. Weird.

doesnt suck...just not very good

i mean hes lost to the likes of jake delhomme and brad johnson for god sakes

if yesterday doesnt show andy that a #1 wr is important then nothing will

which is exactly why they signed Danny Amendola

[QB Eagles]

The Bucs and Panthers weren't better than the Eagles, the Eagles just laid down and let those worse teams rape them. Same goes for the Cards.

The Pats beat the Eagles with one of the best quarterbacks and one of the best head coaches of all time. McNabb and Reid aren't fit to wash their jocks. Of course, the Pats didn't play at their highest level in that game, and the Eagles would have won if McNabb and Reid could ever execute a successful two minute drill in a big game.

Sure, I've said all along that both the defense and Donovan are to blame. But to act like he played a great game is just silly.

Pretty sure I never said that...

I've been thinking about this since the game, and I can't decide whether McNabb is just bad or poorly coached? 

Very much a hot/cold QB, when he's hot he can shred any Defense in the league, when he's cold the worms start ducking.  Can't doubt his physical skills, so it's either mental (which means only McNabb can change things) or poor coaching. 

Off the top of my head, I can't recall who the Eagle's QB coaches have been during Reid's career.  Nothing against Pat Shurmur personally, but he's a college center who's previous coaching experience has been O-Line and Special Teams.  Of course, Reid considers himself to be a QB 'developer', though he only spent two years coaching a mid-career Brett Favre. 

It makes me think of the difference in Cunningham's play under Doug Scovill or at Minnesota, vs. his other coaches.

MCNABB'S ARIZONA YARD WAS VANDALIZED LAST WEEK
Posted by Mike Florio on January 19, 2009, 10:39 p.m.

Somehow overlooked in the days leading up to Sunday's NFC Championship game between the Eagles and the Cardinals was the fact that a group of juveniles vandalized the Arizona property owned by Philly quarterback Donovan McNabb.

The disclosure comes from Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports.

"Go Cards" and related messages were burned into the lawn.   

Per Silver, McNabb took a photo of the damaged lawn and used it as motivation for Sunday's game.

One of the culprits was identified because they left a box at the scene that contained a mailing label with his name and address.

Is that why we haven't seen CT, because he burned McNabb's lawn and was dumb enough to leave his name and address behind?

...or possibly the presence of Cris Carter and Randy Moss.

Which worked out nicely for him....

That's a whole other bucket of worms that will never change with Andy in charge.  Heck, I'd take Barnett and Williams over anyone on the team now, except for Jackson and Curtis, but that would be a close call.

although I came out and was originally pissed at the defense (and rightfully so) the more I keep tinkering with this shtein the more Im starting to get even more pissed at McNabb. Any outsider looking in and eagles fans can just scratch their heads again and say, "yep..thats Mcnabb...another poor attempt when the game matters the most."

I look Look at Warner's short passes all game that went for huge gains...and I am so farging jealous. McNabb still throws that ball 100 mph, the nose of the ball down, behind the WR and at his knees. Forget the bombs he can throw. He has been screwing up that simple pass for 10 years...inexcusable. McNabb simply doesn't/and will never have that in his game...certainly not on a consistent basis and it will forever hurt the Eagles.

I need to get over this shtein
