Where will McNabb land?

As far as accuracy is concerned McNabb's career completion percentage is 59% Elway, 56%, Marino 59.4%. I'm not implying he's better than those 2 because he's not. However he's not as in-accurate as his detractors make him out to be.

19.9% of all of his attempts resulted in "Poor throws".

Most of the rest of them have about 13% of all of their attempts being poor throws.

Worst on the list, by a pretty wide margin. Only Orton comes close.

Perfect example was during the Minnesota game. Santana comes across the formation on a slant, it's gain, but McNabb just drills the ball as hard as he can into Moss' hands, and there's no way Moss can catch it. Ball bounces off Moss' hands and ends up being intercepted.

Everyone says it's a drop by Moss, but there was no way anyone could've caught that ball. A little touch would be nice. Armstrong said he already has cartilage damage from catching footballs thrown by McNabb.Say whatever you want about McNabb.
But the pass you describe here is a drop.
If it hits the WR in the hands, its a drop.

Completion %+:

Marino 110 (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MariDa00.htm)
Elway 101 (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/ElwaJo00.htm)
McNabb 97 (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McNaDo00.htm)

100 is average. This is adjusted for era.

The other thing is, you have the end of the careers of Elway and Marino (declining statistics) built in, and McNabb is theoretically still going to play a couple more years that drag down his career averages. At the end of his career, we could be talking about a guy who played his entire career in a west coast offense, and completed 5% fewer of his passes than the average quarterback. Not to draw conclusions about McNabb's career that can't be drawn from simple completion percentage, but that's pretty unimpressive.

Nothing's ever really been wrong with his throwing motion. It's always been his footwork that's really the problem; throwing off balance, throwing off his back foot, taking too big a step during his "wind up".

As for the video, he just doesn't look...I don't know if explosive is the right word, but I'm going to use it anyway. Like GTripp said, he just looks old. And I know they're working out in t-shirts and shorts and only going half speed, but I kinda noticed the same thing last season where he wasn't really coming out from under center with some oomph.

But I don't really know what I'm talking about, probably, so ignore me.

For the record, I think this game was the best game McNabb played last season (well, until the two dumbass decisions at the end). I'm disqualifying the Texans game because the Texans secondary was the only one that looked worse than ours last year.

It was also the best game Kyle called all season. Go figure that when the quarterback and the OC are in sync, good things happen. Well, except for the not winning part.

I thought Houston was one of the better called games by Kyle and the better games played by McNabb.

The Packers game stands out to me because our OL couldn't block anybody and McNabb was able to survive and produce.

Well like I said, the Texans game...it's kind of an abberation. Their secondary was pretty awful, and well...he practice against that defense every week for 2-3 years. So I thought the game was an amazing offensive showcase, but considering those factors, I couldn't give it that kind of appreciation.

I was pretty impressed with his performance in the Packers game as well, but he just moves too slowly now.
