Do me a favor, and go back and read this entire thread. All you have done is backtracked and made excuses.
You say show me, I do and you say, well but...
Things are what they are, I could go back and say well you can only count 2nd down plays, ran to the left side, in the third quarter, of the last five games, at home against non-division opponents.
That's the kind of crap you keep doing, and it makes you look stupid.
It is simple, McNabb is a good QB, but by whatever you want to measure him by, stats, winning the big games, or how funny his commercials are he is not a top 5
QB.
That has nothing to do with his race, me being a Cowboys fan, it is a fact, and I've proved it over and over again throughout this thread and I'm done.
If you want something different, stop posting stuff on a Cowboys forum.
Look, the only excuse that I am making is INJURIES, and I consider that a viable excuse. I will exclude 16 games from McNabb's 5 year career because he didn't start or play, but I will leave in the six games from last season in which he was injured.
Let me repeat what is important (in that order):
1. Points Scored
2. Interceptions
3. Completion Percentage
4. Wins (NEW)
5. Time of Possession
1. This is the most important stat for a quarterback. Over his career, McNabb averaged 26 touchdowns a year, and David Akers has averaged 28 FGs a year. I don't know where to find points scored for games before 2001, so all my stats will be from 2001-2003.
2001: 21.4375
2002: 25.2 (4th In NFL)
2003: 23.4, 27.9 (11th in NFL, 2nd in NFL {after week 6})
2. 3rd all time in interception percentage, 4th all time TD:INT ratio. Best in the NFL at not throwing interceptions.
3. This is the one that he isn't good at, I know and you know that it is a weakness. He has proven that he can be a 64% passer, it doesn't matter that 41% went to the HBs, because a lot of the time our HBs were either spread wide or covered tightly. We will have to wait and see on this one because he has recievers.
4. He is great at this. 12-4, 7-3, 11-5, 11-5. He lead the Eagles to the best record in the NFL the last 4 seasons, and 4 consecutive playoff births, with at least one win in each. 5 playoff wins and only 27.
5. This is a tricky one. Last year our offense was 17th in the NFL in TOP, but we were 4th to last in plays run and dead last in 3rd down attempts. Because you don't seem to get what I am saying most of the time, I will help you out with this. Our defense let the oposing teams hold on to the ball for long, but our offense was great at holding on to the ball when they got it. That is the only thing that has to do with quarterbacks, not the defense. In 2002, he was 1st in the NFL in Time of Possession.
There are others, but none that you can messure by stats. Everything else has to do with watching the game. McNabb is the BEST quarterback in the NFL at the other stuff, the things you can't get from stats.
How did he lose any of these besides completion percentage?
