It was not a talentless team that McNabb somehow made amazing. A very strong O-line (save this year minus Shawn Andrews) and arguably the best RB in the league along with LT (westbrook of course). Wide Recievers was pretty much our only weak spot.
I always used to back McNabb and say we need to give him more TO's and he'll be amazing - but since the superbowl my opinion of McNabb keeps getting lower and lower.
Have you ever watched him play an entire season? I watch probably 15 Eagles regular season games per year. Not just the random times they play MNF like you probably do. Half of the year McNabb's passes hit the ground 5 ft infront of the WR or the ball soars 10 feet about the WR's head. Cant blame that on lack of talent at the WR position.
Maybe had McNabb had the talent at WR from the start, things could have been different for his mentality and confidence... but McNabb's head is done for in Philly and its time for both parties to move on.

The one year Mcnabb had a full season with a real WR he throws for 31 td's 8 picks almost 4k yards and goes to the superbowl.
