I have also felt for a while, admittedly without much hard evidence, that Reid is big time over-rated. His offense is one dimensional and he seems completely out of touch in terms of leading his team. I think every time I watch them I realize how much they wasted McNabb's prime and how they should have won at least one SB by now. I blame Reid for it all. Seriously can anyone say that they haven't screwed McNabb's prime years up? They gave him no weapons and then they proceeded to ask him to throw the ball 65% of the time without those weapons. They finally get someone who can play, Westbrook, by accident almost but he is hurt all the time. Why is this not a story? Where are all the journalists killing this organization?

I would agree with your statements. McNabb is a very good QB when healthy and when he has weapons. Right now he has neither. I think perhaps the organization feels like they don't need to spend alot of $ on wr's. I know they have tried the draft and failed w/ Freddie Mitchell and Reggie Brown. They tried the FA route w/ TO and they got burned. So now they bring in 2nd tier guys like Stallworth and Curtis. Guys like that are serviceable but not true #1 NFL wr's.

Blame Reid and Banner for never giving McNabb a WR of note, T.O. aside. Look at McNabb's stats when he had a true #1 receiver in T.O.'s first season - they're off the charts. This regime also drafted Todd Pinkston and Billy McMullen. At some point, Reid and Banner should have helped McNabb by signing a top free agent WR not named T.O.

I had high hopes for McMullen...he was the man in college...I still remember him pulling down a game winner on the last play of the game to beat Clemson some years back

Or you could say that he is not a very good QB when he has no weapons and no offensive line. He was basically playing QB without wideouts or a LT.

THAT is what McNabb looks like with no weapons. Not this excuse crap we make for him week in and week out.

This game should show us all exactly how much help he DOES get on a regular basis. Probably more than any other QB in the league.

And they were all injured, thus...that.
