***MERGED McNabb thread w/vomit vid***

I Would Take Mcnabb In A Heartbeat ... Then Again With Bledsoe Being The Quarterback Id Take Romo In A Heartbeat Too ...

 

[Rack]

I would keep Bledsoe. He has one important thing that McNabb doesnt and thats Leadership. Imagine last year if McNabb was the QB and Key went after him like he did Drew.. That would have festered all year leading to who knows what... a downward spiral into oblivion most likely.

That's actually a pretty good point.

I didn't say he wasn't a good QB. My thing is people make excuses for him all the time it get sickening. Heard a caller on the wip saying that the organization is arrogant and needs to be humble until they win something. He said Dallas has a reason to be because we have won superbowls. How long can people hang on to 4 straight NFC appearances. He is a good QB but he seems to choke in BIG games.

Fair enough.

True, he does have the leadership quality over McNabb, but I think McNabb's athletic ability more than makes up for that.

 

[tyke1doe]

I'm curious how Drew Bledsoe is a better leader than Donovan McNabb?

Are posters basing the difference because McNabb couldn't handle TO?

Good points all around, but does anyone here want to pay for an overrated QB, like Bledsoe, that merits twice the paycheck? I think I'll pass. I'll take a cheaper Bledslow. Three INT's in one game isn't limited to the "statuesque." I'm no Romosexual, but I'd rather see him behind center than McNabb.

McNabb blamed his entire season on one person. I've never seen anything of that caliber from Bledsoe. Please, by all means, do make the case otherwise.

When did McNabb blame his entire season on one person?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he playing with a pull groin for much of last year before Bradie's block ended his season?

TO was a distraction, no one with any sense can deny that.

But how is it that McNabb is now blaming the collapse of the season on TO when McNabb and the Eagles went to three NFC Championship games without TO?

 

[JMead]

I think McNabb said something like... One player cant make a team but One player can ruin a team. Well in my view if McNabb was a leader he wouldnt have said that and it wouldnt have ruined the team. McNabb is a kid stuck in a mans body.

McNabb never came out and said as much...but when the media did, he never said anything to deny it.

Much like tonights game, which was Mcnabbs fault, the blame will be placed elsewhere...and he will let it be as such. He's not a leader. He's not a pro bowler. He is, however, overrated. Plausible deniablity is his forte.

Good question. However, anyone who understands the word "team" knows that chemistry is vital to the overall success of a unit. Could it be that the Eagles unified without TO is still a good team? Could it be that the Eagles unified without TO can still make it to the Super Bowl? If so, who led the Eagles to these levels of success? Of course Donovan is a leader. Of course he is a player. Could you imagine if Drew was asked to do the things that McNabb is asked to do on a weekly basis? Could you imagine Drew passing 75% of the time for us? Could you imagine if Drew was as successful as McNabb with the same offensive weapons and took his teams to the same amount of NFC championships? People still bring up the one Super Bowl he brought the Patriots to as a sign that he is a leader and worthy of starting for our team. Could you imagine if he added 3 more NFC championships to his resume? Anyone asking for Romo would be laughed off the board.

The Eagles were successful without TO in the past and are still successful without him to this point. No question about it. Infact, they were more successful than we were with Drew and we didn't have the distraction that McNabb and the Eagles had to deal with. We have the potential of witnessing the Volcano named Mount TO first hand so we should at least wait before we start saying who is a better leader than who because I'm not sure if Drew can handle a full scale TO erruption.

One last note. Last I checked, leaders lead by example. At least in Drew's case. He is not outspoken on the sidelines. He is not a Rah Rah guy. So I would imagine his leadership role is most by his example on the field. Hmmm..... I don't know about that. With the way he is playing this year. By the way he has folded in the past. The Patriots were willing to lose that leadership for the potential playmaking ability of a young 6th rounder. The Bills took there chances with a youngster knowing the possibility of burning in lottery hell was more than likely. They thought that leadership ability was not worth the weight of everything else the great Drew Bledsoe brought to the table. Last year. Key was our leader on the field. He was our identity on offense. People may see what they want but when it get's hot in the heat tank, Drew shrinks like a cold ding dong. Anyone who can acknowledge this fact and still call Drew a leader is obvioulsy the president of his fan club.

Why didn't Westbrook get any love? He, IMO, certainly deseves it more.

Because then we'd hear all the same tired complaints on here about Westbrook being overrated and his success only being due to having McNabb as his QB.

You'd rather have Romo than McNabb? That says it all for the credibility of this thread.

He did say something in a PC about how one person couldn't make a team, but one person could maybe break a team.

 

[dbair1967]

this is how I sum up McNabb

1) good player
2) extremely coddled by the national media
3) plays for Philly
4) because of #3, seeing him look like garbage like in yesterdays game is very pleasing to us all

the man in black did a great cover of "rusty cage" on his final album,"Legend". Johnny Cash was amazing.

Well, I agree that he did a cover of 'Rusty Cage'. Great? Wow...I thought it was just awful. I wouldn't want to hear Soungarden cover 'Ring of Fire', either. Those two songs are uniquely suited to those that created them, IMO.

Yeah.

This morning on ESPN radio they talked about yesterday's game. They didn't even mention the two interceptions that were returned for TDs. Strange, but true.

Not from me. Westbrook is a beast. His only problem is staying healthy. He's not a workhorse, nor will he ever be one. Not even close. But for what he does, he is extremely good at it.

I wasn't aware this thread needed your approval. But thanks for sharing. Your insight is truly unparalleled.
