That being said, I think the Eagles pretty much fleeced the Redskins on this one.

He may have all the the passing records (as he should.. he's been here forever) but to say he's better than Norm Van Bocklin is silly. Even picking between Ron Jaworski and McNabb is a wash.
Oh poor Donovan has been treated so badly
He only got to collect over $100 MILLION dollars in Philly. And we all loved him the first 5-6 years when he would actually run the ball which made him a much more dangerous QB.
When he started getting hurt and stopped being a mobile QB.. his stock went WAY down. he's a bottom third of the league QB when it comes to accuracy.. it was his legs that made him very good his first 5-6 years.
Now he's even older, always prone to Injury, and kills more worms than RAID does. That and his former TEAMMATES dont see him as a leader! That is huge! I always had that feeling but didnt confirm it until I read all the quotes from the Eagles players on Monday. I write a post about this fact and I'm treating McNabb poorly? Because I posted the truth?
Besides getting boo'd when he was drafted (which was totally uncalled for and ridiculous), McNabb has been treated fairly. You dont go to play football in Philly and think everything will always be peachy. He's a man, he can handle the criticism, unlike you. Pansies dont play football.
We want CHAMPIONSHIPS, 2nd place is the first loser. If Kolb loses 4 NFC Championship games for us he'll get just the same critism. Our defense was GREAT when we were winning so much in the first half of the decade. And its just fact that McNabb doesnt come up big in the clutch. If he had.. or even just won us ONE superbowl, he would be more celebrated in Philly than Chase Utley and Charley Manuel.
No offense, but real Philly fans (myself included) dont give a crap about your feelings, McNabbs feelings, or the Washington Nationals fans feelings. That is the way it should be.
