Donovan
McNabb is a beloved guy and all that, but why should his hold on his job be inviolable? The
Washington Redskins don't have a quarterback controversy, but what they do have is a star who is playing poorly, and ailing. McNabb has been great at the 50-yard downfield throw, yet he has failed to deliver basic consistency and momentum. It's like watching a guy try to pay all the bills with a trip to Vegas. Maybe the benching and a bye week will heal him, and sharpen him up.
