What a bitter little twerp.
Pretty ironic that he uses the word ego.

He was. Instead of playing quarterback he should've been serving Campbell's in the team dining room.

Minnesota is spelled wrong.

Shanahan should have put Mcnabb at guard.

@ChrisLewis5 Don't forget, Reid traded McNabb to a division rival. No way he'd have done that if he didn't think something was wrong.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

Minnesota really helped Shanny's image, as did NE by taking Fat Al. In both cases, Shanahan showed that he still has good judgement in evaluating personel for his teams. He might fail (as all do) w/draft picks & FAs, but once they're playing for him, he certainly knows when someone needs to go.

This exactly. the AH problem MS inherited, DM was a mistake he made and instead of keeping him in he got rid of his mistake.

DM went from super star to zero in a matter of seconds. Quite sad actually, quite sad.

Only thing sadder would be a person who keeps a log of misspelling s on a football blog, now that is rock bottom sad.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

Hope this puts a end to all that bullshit talk about McNabb being a "class act".

He's not. Never has been. Which is why the locker room was always split over him.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

seriously, F mcnabb. What a passive aggressive snake in the grass shithead.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

I think McCrap has a little misdirected hostilities. Needs to talk about how the Eagles tossed him to a divisional rival and how they were comfortable with doing that.

I am going to need to retire some words pretty soon, my list is growing.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

Personally I look at McNabb's comments the same way I look at Mara's in that I encourage them to keep them coming. Neither has yet to say anything reasonable to prove their point and in the end they end up looking foolish.

Of course if I was advising McNabb and/or Mara I would be telling them to keep their mouth shut but as a Skins fan I welcome more and more of these sound bytes.

Of course he'd say this

mcnabb sucks. of course he was misused in Minnesota. his skill level had been reduced to that of a radio show host. something he might have been good at.

This just made me think about something...

Did the eagles trade him to us because they knew it would hurt us. ie They knew McNabb was done, or old dog new trick, or big ego or something else?

Or

Did the eagles take a gamble because our offer was so much higher than every other interested team. ie Shanahan/Allen missed what everyone else saw?

Andy Reid had to have seen that McNabb wasn't what he used to be. How bad he knew he was is up to debate, but there is no way he would trade McNabb to the skins when equal offers were given if he thought that McNabb would be able to do serious damage. Since 2005 (the year eli Manning became a starter), McNabb's average TD/year was a little over 19 for the 5 remaining years he was an eagle. McNabb in that time period McNabb's highest TD mark was 23. In those 5 years Eli only had one year lower than that in 2008 when he had 21. You have to remember, for a long time people said Manning was terrible. He didn't even make this pre-seasons top 10 QBs on almost any show I watched. It's even worse once you take into account that the Eagles were a pass first team.

McNabb also was getting up there in years, and had many injuries over his career.

Age/injuries/lack of performance in a pass friendly offense.....don't know why he was still highly regarded. Coaches get too wrapped up in wins when it comes to QBs.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

Certainly lost some respect from me with those remarks.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

I value Jerry Rices' opinion much more over a bitter QB.........

Yeah i rememeber the big issue most of us had was the fact the McNabb hadnt made it a full season but X amount of times in the the last X years, and his age. I dont think anyone could have predicted it would have worked out as bad as it did.... except maybe the eagles.

I wonder how much we bid over other teams. If it was a little bit, it could suggest the eagles knew mcnabb would cause big problems for us. If it was a lot it could suggest Shanahan and Allen got it wrong, and everyone else got it right.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

1.) McNabb was never very good. Reid deserves credit for being successful with him.

2.) Just because McNabb can't fit into a different scheme, neither can RG3? That's a dis towards RG3, not Shanahan.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

How was he misused the first time? It's not Shanaclan's fault the guy was a self important inflexable system quarterback. His one intangable was evasiveness. When he lost that, AND he was put in a different system with other players trying to learn their jobs in the new system, what did anyone expect?

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

Donovan McNabb is a great Quarterback. Great great Quarterback...

Donovan McNabb feels that Robert Griffin III will come up short in Mike Shanahan's offense, similar to McNabb's passes.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

God damn, this is sort of funny, most of the guys in here loved getting McNabb, now they hate him. Yeah, not saying Donovan was any good, but when we got him a good 80-85% of the guys in here liked the move without asking the same question. Why did Philly jettison his ass to a divisional rival? Or they just were so elated we got a Pro Bowl QB that they just swept it under the rug. McNabb might have touched on a good topic for discussion though. Will the Shannys try to tinker with their system to help RG III flourish or just see if he can make it in their system doing it their way? I think they need to adjust it for him. The franchise paid a steep price in terms of draft picks for this to become another failed project.

[B]Did the eagles take a gamble because our offer was so much higher than every other interested team. ie Shanahan/Allen missed what everyone else saw?[/B][/quote]It was that one. And I think that's a really good way of stating it. The Eagles took a big risk putting McNabb in the division, and giving him to a coach with the reputation of Mike Shanahan.

Philadelphia had serious offers on the table from Washington and Oakland, but McNabb didn't want to go to Oakland because (at the time) they were a circus.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

I agree with McNabb 110%, even though what he said was in poor taste. They expected him to make the playoffs with one of the weakest offensive rosters in Redskins history. But this horse is dead, McNabb needs to go away now.

Re: Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?
 

How many playoff games have the Eagles won since McNabb was jettisoned from Philly?
