Did Jerry Jones take a shot at McNabb?

SolidSnake84 · 08-13-2010, 12:29 PM

I dont understand some of the hate on McNabb, even by philly fans.

It's true, i didnt like him at times with the eagles because of his attitude and the fact that he always seemed so insecure. And hey, i mocked him for his injury problems. I was one of the diehards who wanted Garcia to start in 2007 had he stayed. And I'm convinced that they let Garcia walk because McNabb was too insecure and complained to Reid, mostly because the fans loved Garcia and the fans wanted him to stay there.

But he gave their franchise respectability, and like others have said, he was damn good when he was good. Kolb could prove to be an upgrade in time, I dont know. I just dont know why the fans hate on McNabb so much when all he basically did was win for Philly, except for the times when he was missing part of the season due to various injuries.

EH, I am a big gamble kind of guy so I would rather see us hit it big than keep it close. We have been keeping it close for years without rewards. You may see it as a shot at McNabb but I see it as a compliment to a man who is not afraid to risk it to go for the juggular.

I dunno.

I can't understand when some justified criticism is expressed at a Skin or the Skins and people go off on the messenger.

JJ is an Asshole, but here he is quite right. When DM is good he is very good, and when he is not on, he's not.

When Riggo said DM will never win a Super Bowl, he is almost certainly right.

If you look at his age and where the skins are now, it is likely he won't win one with us or any other team.

DM is good for 3-4 wins over the previous QB. From 4-12 we are likely to do not much more than 8-8. 9-7 if we are really lucky.

Next year? Maybe 11-5 IF we have a good year this year.

I have had season tix for over 10 years and would love to go to my FIRST home playoff game at Fedex field, but you have to be realistic

J-Dawg.

What I took from it was when the Eagles had McNabb at QB they were kill or be killed kind of games. That McNabb had the capability (when on the Eagles) to throw the knock out punch.

Kolb, on the other hand, doesn't have that ability (not yet at least). Instead he's a steady QB who will keep his team in every game and, to continue the boxing analogy, can win/lose games by decision.

:smashfreaOK, lets pretend Jerry Jones is a gentleman now and puts sportsmanship ahead of competition.
