Good take on Mcnabb's whining:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/donovan-mcnabb-says-most-criticized-quarterback-nfl-history-202352653.html

The Donovan McNabb pity party continued on Friday when the former Philadelphia Eagles star said he was the most unfairly criticized quarterback in the history of the NFL.

Making himself out to be a football version of St. Paul, martyr McNabb made the comments during a 13-minute segment on ESPN's "First Take." While debating whether Tim Tebow should be on Twitter, Skip Bayless made the assertion that the New York Jets backup was the "the most unfairly, over-criticized quarterback in the history of this league."

"Negative — I am," McNabb interrupted. "I am. Nobody's been criticized as much as I have."

You want some cheese to go with that persecution complex? When was McNabb ever criticized by the mainstream press? He was rightly praised for being a top-tier NFL quarterback during his prime and was vehemently defended against any suggestion he wasn't. The racial aspects of Rush Limbaugh's comments aside, most analysts also disagreed with his football take (that the defense carried Philadelphia). McNabb began his career 56-23, won a playoff game in five of his first six seasons and advanced to four straight NFC championship games. Even when he lost his first three, criticism was rarely lobbed his way. It was similar to how Peyton Manning rarely got called on his middling playoff record.

[NCAA tourney video: Which team will win the national championship?]

Then McNabb made the Super Bowl and frittered away much of the fourth quarter by huddling when his team was trying to make up a 10-point deficit. He reportedly vomited in the huddle during one of the drives. There were rumblings of McNabb's late-game problems, but hardly a national uproar.

If Philadelphia fans were tough on him, that puts him in a special club reserved for every recent Philly athlete not named Chase Utley.

The media sided with McNabb in his beef with Terrell Owens the next year. When McNabb went a pedestrian 26-22-1 over the next four seasons, few mentioned his decline. Andy Reid later traded McNabb to the Washington taterskins and the focus was mainly on how Donovan could help his new team, not that the trade signaled how little faith Andy Reid had in his former quarterback. Trading McNabb to a division rival was one of the sharpest rejections of a major quarterback that the league has ever seen. It wasn't viewed that way at the time.

If you had to pick one extreme or the other, the media treated McNabb with kid gloves. Imagine if Jay Cutler threw up in a Super Bowl huddle or if Michael Vick lost three NFC championship games in a row.

Consider this: Over the past two days, McNabb has blamed his failures on coaching, brought down a player who hasn't been drafted yet and whined about how the media didn't treat him right. He's shown that he can be self-serving and phony. Yet he made it through 13 NFL seasons without the press calling him on it.

The last paragraph might be the most accurate thing ever written.

Can we have an "Ex-Eagles in the NFL Except for Donovan McNabb" thread? Actually, this thread should be Donovan-free anyway because he's not really in the NFL anymore.

Seriously, I thought we were done paying attention to this funhole's whining when he left town. I can understand getting jollies from watching him implode on the taterskins and Vikings, but to sit there and read and/or care about his bitching at this late date takes more masochism than should be present even in the average Eagle fan.

He's right.

So what you're saying is, you want to talk some more about Donovan McNabb in this thread?   Ok. 

Remember when he didn't know the overtime rules?  Incredible.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

TO was right.

Holy farging LOL.

[rjs246]

Uh seriously. You all need to farging get over it. He's a bitch. He's also gone now and has been for a minute. He's a douche. He was good but not good enough. He was soft. farging shut up and focus on complaining about the current eagles qb. Jesus Christ with you people. 

[Diomedes]

Good but not good enough seems to be the appraisal of the current quarterback as well.

Homers think he'll prove us wrong.  Haters hope he'll prove us right. 

Only the hippos can say from which clan you hail.

[rjs246]

How about I know what he is and hope he can catch lightning in a bottle for a championship. And how about whether he does or doesn't I'll be there to mock us all for caring. We all need to get a farging life.

[Diomedes]

How about you get a farging life.

[rjs246]

Working on it.
