Is anyone else just absolutely disgusted with DM5's play?

I'm pretty sure a couple of Philly fans have seen comments similar to the ones in the opening post around our fanbase and can't help but laugh. In fact I saw a lot of Philly fans predicting that we would eventually feel this way. I just personally thought it wouldn't be this soon.

The question we need to answer now is weather DM5 is a Kurt Warner or a Daunte Culpepper/Matt Hasselbeck. Obviously I'd hate to let Donovan go to another team and pull a B Lloyd on us especially since McNabb doesn't even come close to the amount of a luggage that a guy like Lloyd came with. However it would suck to hold onto him only to find out that he's done.

Nice question, Dirt. Warner came back w/the Cards & played at a pro bowl level after he looked totally done w/the g-men. I think McNabb has it in him. I know he's looked bad at times, but he's also shown more leadership & playmaking ability than JC.

Has anyone considered that McNabb has been mentally exhausted by this season too? The whole team looked bad sunday, the collective psyche of the team seems tired. I'm not making excuses, but there were/are a lot of transitions being undertaken this year. I think McNabb & Shan/Allen deserve another year before we start to reconsider what they've started.

McNabb was won us a couple more games that JC wouldnt have, so I see that as an upgrade. Sure hes on the downside of his career, but he is our best option at this point. I think you look elsewhere on this team to point fingers at this time. Our roster is generally lacking in talent. Shanny brought in 24 new guys and gutted alot of salary and age, look for this trend to continue in the offseason.

We have a 1st and a 2nd in the draft, we have a larger market of free agents...this team was not a playoff team coming into this year. McNabb, the entire offense and defense are under new schemes, coaching staffs, etc. Lets give it a little time

If it's getting harder for us fans to watch the Skins, imagine how hard it is to go out and play for them. McNabb is playing on the Skins. What do you want him to do to stand out? The Oline sucks so he's feeling unbelievable pressure. When he does have a little time in the backfield, his receivers are not open. The play calling is conservative at best. No RB to dump it off to. No play action, no screens, nothing to help him out.

Can't judge DM this season.

It was my belief at the time McNabb was traded for, he was overvalued. Many of the mistakes we see him make are not the direct result of the ineffectiveness of the O/L, mistakes you wouldn't expect to see repeated from a 12yr. veteran being adorned with celebrity status.

Brian Baldinger once characterized McNabb as being a flawed quarterback, based on his play at times it's hard to argue his assessment.

As usual the QB is to blame. :doh:

I'm more disappointed with the team overall than just individual players.

Neither do the Colts but their offense still functions.

Not really a completely fair comparison since the Colts have had that same system since Manning came into the league. And even then they've certainly had their share of struggles this year.

The Redskins overvalued him. Thats not on DM. He has always been inconsistent. When he's hot he's the best in the NFL, when he's off, he's off. That's what you get with DM.

No one player alone is ever totally responsible for either the success or failure of a team. All too often in the game of football the coach or the QB get to share in the majority of credit or blame, for failure or success depending on the circumstance.

In the Redskins case when it comes to blame, there's more than enough gathered already and it can be spread out throughout the team. McNabb himself has admitted on more than one occasion that he hasn't played well this season. When the team can't depend on it's leader to perform well on game day, that lack of confidence can have a trickle down effect.....

That pretty much sums up my point too.

I'm not disgusted. He is what he is. He'll make some great throws and he'll make some terrible throws. He's consistenly inconsistent. I'm a little disappointed with the turnovers cause before he got here it seems like he was good at taking care of the ball. I think he can still play, he just needs better players around him.
