As much of what you say is true,there something you have to think about.
Mcnabb has played NFL football now going on 12 years....12 years. Yes,the terminology isn't identical to what the eagles ran,but much of it is very simular if not some the same in some aspects.
Think about this for a second? Grossman probably knows this offense twice as better as mcnabb. (since coming over from kyle shanahan and the texans)
Who's looked better out there thus far?
Mcnabb has seen live action for over a decade. He knows the speed of the game and he knows how to play good football. He's not perfect,but the guy gets it done.
He can learn quite a bit,just from going through the motions...
Think I'm wrong? Don't believe me?
How much of a struggle did brett favre have last season in Minny?
See what I'm saying..
Are we going to be perfectly smooth..Probably not.
can you promise me that if mcNabb played the Jets and cardinals all game..4 qtrs,that we would be perfect?
No..ya can't.
Besides...I would rather have a 6-time pro bowler learning on the job as the season is underway...
Than a 6-time pro bowler in a cast or wrapped from his torn ACL on left knee or leg,learning the offense as the season goes on from the bench. (because we just had to have him in there for 2 meaningless pre season games)
