Donovan's play continues to be uneven, inconsistent and challenged by coaches who need to see him perform at a high level, both in practice and in games.
Unfortunately for the Redskins, they may be expecting to get something from McNabb he's never been able to deliver "consistency". He has quickly been adorned the leader of this team, but I question his leadership here just as it was questioned by the team he departed. The Eagles didn't find his playing around with his "air guitar" gesture exiting the tunnel in Dallas last year to begin one of the most important games of their season a symbol of leadership. There's a time to play and a time to be serious.
One of the most important qualities considered in describing a leader is, one who can inspire confidence. Some players try to do it through talking, others choose to let their playing do the talking. Inconsistent play, not being what would be considered a vocal leader, then being benched at the most important time in a football game does not inspire confidence from your teammates regardless of what they may say. We need to see better play from the position for the confidence to be there.
This little archive has a way of summing-up McNabb's tenure thus far with the Redskins.
