ASHBURN, Va. -- Donovan McNabb must have wondered if he was back in Philadelphia.
On the first day of Washington Commanders training camp, a heckler stood near the front of the crowd and criticized every bad pass, every bobbled ball and pined out loud for the return of departed quarterback Jason Campbell.
"Must have been a great catch," the fan yelled after McNabb completed one pass, "because it couldn't have been a good throw."
As the days went by, other fans might have felt that the heckler was on to something. McNabb seemed to have more passes intercepted than he should. He was throwing behind receivers, and earlier this week, he unleashed a wounded duck that was easily picked off by Carlos Rogers downfield.
McNabb's performance could be simply a matter of him adjusting to new surroundings and a new offense. Or maybe fans are catching a glimpse of why the Eagles were willing to trade the quarterback after 11 seasons.
Naturally, McNabb and the Commanders chalk it up to the adjustment factor after just two weeks of training camp. All sides acknowledge, however, that there have been some growing pains.
