ha..youre a trip man

this might hold water 20 years ago before the internet. but these days anyone with a computer has the ability to get a feel for what's going on anywhere, anytime.

sorry igs, but not only are you no more in tune with philly than anyone else around here but your opinion is about as off the mark as you can get. mcnabb's never been fully embraced by the city since early in his career (and i'm excluding the draft because those knuckleheads don't count). there's been a solid anti-mcnabb camp almost as long as mcnabb's been an eagle. 99-01 he might have gotten a free pass based on the fact that he was still so young and the eagles improved tremendously in a short period of time. but i remember all the "trade mcnabb" talk after losing to the bucs and panthers in the nfccg. maybe the the super bowl loss along with garcia's success really catapulted it into the lime light, but it was there long before 2007.

there arent words to describe how wrong that post is

again unless youre in the city on a regular basis and getting the vibe you really dont know whats going on

lol @ thinking a computer gives you that..typical y2k thinking

you gotta be on the ground son...i cant tell you whats going on in afghanistan or seattle...or wherever the hell you people live simply because i have a computer

And again, you don't live in Philly. So maybe, just this once, you can stop being stupid.

ice grillin you · February 13, 2010, 01:53:07 AM

and again im in philly more in a month than you are in a year

Munson · February 13, 2010, 02:02:25 AM

God you need to die on the next train ride up to Philly to get in touch with everyone's thoughts on McNabb and exactly what year they decided they hated him.

MDS · February 13, 2010, 02:08:45 AM

its true to an extent

you can get the vibe of a town through intaking talk radio, newspapers, boards and talkin shop with guys at a bar. even a glance from someone in passing can add to it.

but in or out of philly with the internet you can pretty much get whats going on. its just that you miss actual interactions with actual people. which does count for a lot.

as for the mcnabb thing, the camp really picked up steam after the super bowl loss and was in full tilt after garcia. he got free passes up until then cause the hate was all focused on andy and the crappy wide outs.

Munson · February 13, 2010, 02:12:16 AM

Oh no doubt that it definitely didn't pick up until after Garcia. But it was definitely there, and noticeably so, as far back as 2003.

Andy Reid got more of the blame, and rightfully so. His 65% pass calling still deserves it.

Rome · February 13, 2010, 08:35:57 AM

I hate all of you.

ice grillin you · February 13, 2010, 11:15:14 AM

i cant believe people dont remember all the years of the people saying the eagles have no wr's....andys horrible clock management and being pass happy...ricky manning dominating pinky...blaine bishop and levon kirkland vs joe jurevicious...sheldon brown being hurt vs the rams

now im not saying some or all of those things arent valid...but the point is that for the first 7-8 years of his career mcnabb got off virtually untouched by the fans and media

Drunkmasterflex · February 13, 2010, 11:41:44 AM

While that is true, there was also an underlying anti-McNabb sentiment for almost as long as he has been here. The SB loss and Garcia just put it in the forefront.

ice grillin you · February 13, 2010, 11:56:03 AM

very few players have 100% support...but mcnabb was treated better and given more passes than almost any non championship winning big time athlete in philly sports history...shtein you have people like mike schmidt who won a title and were villified

MDS · February 13, 2010, 12:36:17 PM

and people still give him a pass

3 more years. right, phreak?

lol. it ain't just the computer dook, although that does make it pretty simple to gather info. here's a question for you......why do you think most people on this board are eagles fans? because with a few exceptions, we're all from in/around philly. which means that there's a good farging possibility that a lot of us still have friends and family back there. walking up and down broad street for an hour does not put you in tune with the collective thoughts of several million people. and if it does then you've got some super human osmosis ability.

lol @ you for thinking that you are the only real source for getting the "philly vibe" around here. christ dude, you've just taken your ignorance and arrogance to unprecedented levels.
