i dont set the value of having a vet backup who knows the new system in terms of starts or stats but the intangibles and tutoring that they can bring.

what i found interesting is during shannys press conf he said with the time they had left and no timeouts that they would have to make double calls. so mcnabb would get 2 calls called in, he would call them both in the huddle, then as he was lining up he would then get 2 more double calls for the 3rd and 4th plays in his headset while he is linging up and reading the D for the 1st call.

with all that going on, it would help if mcnabb was fully versed with the terminology and had the character traits that would allow him to mentally be able to handle all those different play calls at once.

that and both mike and kyle have said receivers are open (in response to joey galloway questions), meaning to me amongst other clues and hints, that mcnabb is not seeing the field or play calls as they have those plays envisioned.

I understand what you're saying and don't doubt that it's true. While my question was not directed towards you personally, it basically called for a yes or no response.
