Donovan McNabb

[ice grillin you]

And someday soon we'll talk about the McNabb era with wistful recriminations just as we do with Cunningham...

isn't that a fact

no chance...mcnabb is a better qb obviously but randall was much more fun to watch and more importantly to listen to...or not listen to...mcnabbs douchebag personality will never allow him to be beloved like randall unless of course he wns a superbowl and even then im not sure

same goes for andy and buddy

I think I'm not getting into more of this story. I don't think anything of it, just like I don't think anything of the 20 other stories about McNabb over the years. As for lying and all of that, I don't point fingers. I don't know how the story originated and I honestly don't give a rat's ass. I care about free agency and the draft. I see Donovan every day and he is in great spirits. I don't get the sense at all that he wants to leave the Eagles. So that's all I'm going to say.

Bye-bye Donovan.

wow andy said that!!!

I dunno - after the Dallas-Randall-I had-a-baby-Rodney-Peete-can't-be-beat-injury-playoff-game Mr. Ultimate Weapon was none too loved. I also recall Buddy's early game exit up the ramp in his final game was none too keenly received either- time wounds all heels I guess and in McNabbs case we'll all cry in our beer about 4&26 and the time he juked that Foreskin out of his jock early on, etc. 'Course ralphing in the SB has little equal in my book except maybe Randall's punt on 3rd which was low moment for the Eagles as well...

But point taken -Yet I do think recriminations are more about what didn't happen vs what did happen, so yes while the recollections will be necessarily different, they'll be more about woulda shoulda hence the wistful part...

the hate for mcnabb will disapate but he will never be loved as much as either of those two without a title or without a complete personality makeover whether it be while he plays or even after he retires...if he says all the right things when he leaves the game about the city the fans ect he can self makeover himself but that doesnt seem like something donovan would ever do...in fact i can see him winning a superbowl and having an i told you so attitude rather than what the phillies and charlie manuel did and manuel got murdered far worse than mcnabb ever has

[Rome]

I don't think even a single title would make most Eagles fans love him.  Thank him?  Sure.  Appreciate him for winning?  Well, no shtein.  But love him?  No farging way.  He's a phony and Philly people can smell a phony a mile away.

^^^^^
so true

[The BIGSTUD]

Most Eagles fans do love him. He was voted the best QB in Eagles history on PE.com. Where better to get a consensus of the fan base than PE.com?

[QB Eagles]

Being the best Eagles QB in history is not the same as being loved.

[The BIGSTUD]

I was being facetious. But in all seriousness, even with all the dislike for McNabb, the far majority of the fan base still loves him. Pretty much every fan survey indicates so.

i cant 100% tell if cole was being serious and is an idiot or was trying to be funny and failed horribly...i think its the latter

[Rome]

I was about to go all "stalker" on Cole, but I have to admit, that was pretty funny.

HA! Cunningham was not appreciated at the time just like McNabb. It's Philly sports and the QB position is the most scrutinized. Buddy slapped together an offensive line and Randal ran for his life back there.

Just wait till McNabb is gone and we're left with... Kolb... or some other shlub some other coach has drafted. Once this era of football is over the Eagles are going to stink for a while. We're talking Rich Kotite stink!

Actually maybe no. I see McNabb long gone before Reid, from the Eagles not Earth, and if Reid maintains his philosophy in combo with Banner they will always field a decent enough team that can always make a push for the playoffs.

[Phanatic]

As for McNabb being real and somehow Cunningham had this great personality? Please. Remember when he found Jesus and everything was peace and love with Deon laying hands on injured players during Eagle Dallas games? shtein man. Put down the crack pipe.

Reid has lost his mind and his teams will continue to take on strange strategy quirks like the ones we're seeing now. Its going to be a long slow road to hell.

when mcnabb leaves if the team makes the right moves they will be good again...if they dont make the right moves then they wont be good...and its very hard to be bad in the nfl for "a while"...yes you have your detroits but anyone can win 10 11 12 games these days and they mostly all do...this isnt the nfl of 20 years ago
