The second benching of McNabb I figured the coach was protecting McNabb from meaningless games. Then all the dirt came out about McNabb not studying or knowing the full playbook. Stats a side you can't tell me Grossman didn't look better simply cause he knew the playbook better.

He should have stood up for his QB and mentioned that the rest of the team is also not playing well. The offensive line, RB's injured all the time, receivers that dropped many passes, a defense that was ranked last most of the season.
Yes, McNabb played poorly. I will admit that.
But if you are going to invest a 2nd and a 5th on a player and abandon him in less thatn one season when things get bad that is weak.
Mcnabb is not Jeff George.
McNabb paid out of his own pocket to fly his receivers on their off time to work extra time to get to know each other. McNabb has done everything you expect of a team leader to do and more....and his coach shit on him.
