McNabb is steady but not great. The standard for a good NFL quarterback is 60% completion rate and he's just below that. His qb rating is also not too good and drops as the pressure increases. Also notice that while he's over 2/1 in td/int ratio during the regular season, he falls to 1/1 when the biggest money is on the line.
He will tell you ALL that matters is his winning %. He's had a step above dog $hit as receivers for practically his whole career, up until now. This year forward will cement/determine whether his tenure here will be deemed a success, and I feel that it will,(unbiasedly of course ) and that his best days are AHEAD of him. D-Jack will bring out the best of 5 and vice versa. If only he had the threat of a REAL run game (like Eli) to open up the field via play action. Opposing teams know damn well that he is tucking that ball into his chest instead of handing it off, which is HUGE for pass rushing specialists. Andy also needs to rip those Shotgun formation run plays and those A-gap run plays out of the menu. They are about as stale as my in-laws easter candy.
