Donovan's play continues to be uneven, inconsistent and challenged by coaches who need to see him perform at a high level, both in practice and in games.
Unfortunately for the Redskins, they may be expecting to get something from McNabb he's never been able to deliver "consistency". He has quickly been adorned the leader of this team, but I question his leadership here just as it was questioned by the team he departed. The Eagles didn't find his playing around with his "air guitar" gesture exiting the tunnel in Dallas last year to begin one of the most important games of their season a symbol of leadership. There's a time to play and a time to be serious.
One of the most important qualities considered in describing a leader is, one who can inspire confidence. Some players try to do it through talking, others choose to let their playing do the talking. Inconsistent play, not being what would be considered a vocal leader, then being benched at the most important time in a football game does not inspire confidence from your teammates regardless of what they may say. We need to see better play from the position for the confidence to be there.
This little archive has a way of summing-up McNabb's tenure thus far with the Redskins.

Just as long as we chuck it deep everything is fine with you?
Silly things like i don't know converting 3rd downs or RZ production are less important then total passing yards?
Are you Rex Grossman?
BTW-I'm not disgusted w/ McNabb's play but how can you honestly claim this years passing offense is better then last years?
i dont see how you can say our passing attack is worse than last year. im not saying as long as we chuck it deep we are fine. but over the past 10 years we have had been trying to find a deep passing attack to stretch the field and stop teams from stacking the box.
we finally have that. im enjoying that small aspect of improvement i have seen from our team. me being happy about that small part doesnt mean i dont think we have alot of other areas to improve upon. its a silver lining type thought. not everything is broken with the new coaches, scheme and qb.

I forgot our crappy running game. CP is toast, and I don't just mean for 2010. Torain is not rugid enough, and that leaves us with Williams and this other guy. Not too good. We leave the 2010 season with more roster problems than we entered into it with.
What does "rugid" mean?

You guys see that stat about McNabb being the first Skins QB since Joey T in 84 to throw a TD in 12 consecutive games? That was both impressive and sad at the same time

i believe by rugid he means able to stay healthy and on the feild which atv has not been able to do.
back to dmac i was looking up vicks stats and noticed that dmac is number 5 in the league in yards who knew? if we could just score a damn td when we get in the red zone. i wonder how many points we have left on the board this year.

That is impressive and all, but I'm happier that his streak of 10+ games with at least one interception is over. He certainly gave the Bucs a couple opportunities today though. And today marks the first time he's had a a td-interception ratio of at least +2. And he's already notched a new career high for picks in a season with 15, his previous high was 13 his second season in the league. That's kind of concerning, esp. considering some of the picks he straight telegraphed to opposing players.

doesn't mean anything cause he's really not playing well and grossman was getting reps this week. not a good sign for dm.
i remember back in 81 when gibbs first got here. the offense was first in passing and total yards and the team was 0-5. stats can be very decieving.

Grossman won't come in again IMO, why would he?

I don't believe Grossman was getting any more reps than he usually does
