2011 Ex-Eagles In The NFL

If you have to stretch that much to figure out which thread fits and it doesn't deserve a new thread, there is a little-used third option.

Suicide?

Suicide?

That would be a fool-proof way to ensure the third option was chosen!

It's unknown whether former Vikings quarterback Donovan McNabb is attempting to sell any of his teammates on the notion that he should be the starting quarterback, in the hopes that perhaps enough players will clamor for McNabb that he'll be reinstalled at the top of the depth chart.  But it is known that McNabb is willing to publicly declare that he should be the starter.

Because he already has.

NFL Network special correspondent Andrea Kremer asks McNabb in an interview that will air Sunday morning whether he should still be the starter in Minnesota.  "Absolutely," McNabb says.  "Absolutely."

He thinks he isn't the starter because the quarterback gets both the credit for a team's success and the blame for its failures.  "Well, I mean, everyone focuses on my position," McNabb told Kremer.  "We should be sitting here, I'll be honest, at about what, 4-3, 5-2, or whatever?  We had games that we should have won, but we just didn't. Now is it the quarterback position?"

What he's overlooking is the fact that he wasn't benched due to his play or because he's the scapegoat for a 1-5 start punctuated by a blowout loss at Soldier Field that ran the team's road record against the Bears to 1-10 since 2001.  Chrisian Ponder is playing and McNabb isn't because the Vikings realize that the playoffs are a pipe dream, and because the Vikings need to know what Ponder can do.  Especially if that 1-5 (now 1-6) becomes 1-10 and worse, giving the Vikings a crack at Andrew Luck.

McNabb also flatly denied a report, originating last weekend on the same network, that he was benched because he showed up late for meetings and practices.

"Never," McNabb said.  "But from just people from the outside listening, they'll say, 'Oh, you know, sources said that he's not putting in that time to be a top tier quarterback.'  Well, just come to Minnesota.  Pack up your big jacket and your headwear, and come watch me."

They can watch him practice.  For the foreseeable fut

lololol

here we go again. drama from donovan, playing the victim, blaming other people, making excuses. man it never ends with him.

Ponder was on Mike and Mike the other day and said McNabb has told him he's there for him for any questions he has, said McNabb's been staying late after practice to help him with film, etc.

On his treatment in Washington: "Disrespectful and disgraceful...You go to practice, you have a conversation with somebody in the morning, all of the sudden later that afternoon you basically hear the whole conversation that was played out behind closed doors, that's handled unprofessionally."

playing the victim, check

On his benching in Minnesota, where he should "absolutely" still be the starter: "Everyone focuses on my position. I'm the one who either gets the most credit or the most blame. We should be sitting here, I'll be honest, at about 4-3 or 5-2. We had games that we should have won, but we just didn't...A decision was made from Leslie and we talked about a lot of things that were going on - and a lot of things we keep in house. But he also referred to a lot that is not just me at the position. You know there are a lot of problems on this team."

"it's not my fault," check

On questions about his work ethic: "It's total BS. Even last year, I was one of the first ones in the building and the last to leave. It's the same here. I'm upstairs after watching film and going through meetings, and I'm eating dinner with coaches. I'm going back and watching more film. For something like tht to come out is ridiculous. But people from the outside listening, they'll say, 'Oh, sources said that he's not putting in the time to be a top tier QB.' Well, just come to Minnesota, pack up your big jacket and headware, and just watch me."

lying and making a corny joke, check

seriously where is J. where are all the mcnabb homers. come on and defend your boy. come on.

[Sgt PSN]

He's gone and the Eagles are better for it.  Let.  It.  Go. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

There is no point in discussing McNabb with people like you, Havas or Cataldi. Pathological haters.

[MDS]

youre right, this is no point in discussing it.

nothing needs to be said anymore. his grave of being a douchey loser has been long since dug.

BUT I CANT STOP

[PhillyPhreak54]

I know you cant - you need some couch time with an sports psychologist, pal.

Meanwhile Lito is a Raider and will wear #21

This is pretty lame. I mean, you know they have a 1st round QB right? You know that your time is short anyway. When you lose 5 straight games, what do you think is going to happen?

[QB Eagles]

Even if someone isn't a 5 hater, it's easy to agree that 1) he's mostly washed-up, and 2) he's been acting bitchy for a while now.

No one can seriously read those articles and agree with what McNabb's saying, right? All the victimhood?
