Can We All Finally Agree Donovan Needs To Burn In Hell (even you phreak)

[Munson]

Reese I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.


But the idiot is still correct. Yes, Donovan McNabb should have won the Super Bowl with Todd Pinkston and James Thrash. Kevin Kolb might have!



FTR, the pass-run number for that game: 49 passes, 21 rushes. They were running at a 3.8 YPC clip, and the only touchdown of the game was a Duce Staley rush, I believe.


Yet they threw the ball 70% of the time. With a QB not known for his accuracy. With perennial #3 James Thrash and 1 trick pony Todd Pinkston at WR.
You were right IGY, that is totally on the leader. Andy Reid.


Wasn't that the year that Levon Kirkland and Blaine Bishop were covering Joe Jerivicious?

[PhillyGirl]

Anyone who thinks the eagles would have even MADE the playoffs without McNabb those years is out of their everloving mind.

HE was the reason they were as good as they were. Had he been given a shred of a WR (from his GM) and an ounce of playcalling BASICS (from his HC)...he'd have his Super Bowl.

[Seabiscuit36]

He threw up on the field..in the biggest game of his life...and proceeded to throw a INT to end the game.  There is no doubt he's the reason why there are where they are as a franchise over the past 10 years, but he isnt a big game player, and has proven that multiple times.  Sure his coach sucks in those same situations, but he's never good enough to rise above that.  Time for a new start

i keep forgetting the legends tom brady played with, the hall of famers on the bucs, even the amazing wrs elway had in 97 and 98.

brad johnson
jake delhomme

they beat 5 in his house in the nfc title games. hellllo.

[QB Eagles]

HE was the reason they were as good as they were.

Agreed. Too bad that is no longer true, though. Time to move on.

[ice grillin you]

how is it possible to give mcnabb all the credit for getting to championship games but not the reason they didnt win

either hes a great qb and he wins a ring or hes a good qb who chokes

i mean why isnt the only reason they made the playoffs all those years andy reid?

[Munson]

Why is Mcnabb the only, or even the biggest, reason why they lost?


Answer: He isn't.

[ice grillin you]

lol...hes the quarterback

hank fraley isnt to blame thats for sure

[Munson]

Andy Reid and lack of surrounding offensive talent certainly are.

[ice grillin you]

so who gets the credit for making six title games

[Munson]

You do realize that guys can both get credit for doing good things and be blamed for the terrible things they do, right?


70% pass in the NFC championship game. With Duce and Westbrook on your roster. Running at a 3.8 YPC clip. Against one of the toughest defenses around. That must be McNabbs fault.

[ice grillin you]

1-6 in championship games

even jim kelly was 5-5 in those games

[MDS]

i keep forgetting how little the saints ran last year and how little the patriots ran in 07. yet the reason the eagles lost 4 nfc title games and and superbowl is because andy made donovan throw all the time to crappy receivers.

oh i see.

[ice grillin you]

donovans coach asks him to complete to many passes

how dare a qb actually make completions

[MDS]

well its not his fault. he played amazing to get them there and then andy calling 1000 passing plays and his receivers being james trash and todd pinkston, what could he do?

the fact is 5 could only get them so far before the shortcomings of those around him came out. and in some sort of cruel coincidence, it was always in the nfc championship game.
