Viking release McNabb

I guess he wants a new tailor to fire.

I wonder why he lost his mojo so suddenly. I know he is a choke artist in the playoffs, but still he was a pretty decent QB til his last season with the Eagles.

Maybe NcNabb's skill set really deteriorated quickly from what it was just a few years ago, but maybe his skill set really isn't much changed and there was a special synergy between he and Reid. Both guys have suffered since the divorce so to speak.

FYI I like both of them quite a lot.

You like them both, meaning what?

He might not have played well in Washington but was it the system or him,point being how com Campbell others liked but here with the Skins, fans say he sucked?

With McNabb, I think it was just that he wasn't here long enough to gain any "longtime supporters." But you'll find plenty of people who believe they were similar and that the Redskins managed to screw up both situations with two different front offices.

The difference is that McNabb's value to the franchise was the highest on the day he was acquired, and just tanked from there at every opportunity. The selection of Jason Campbell in the first round in 2005 was pretty much universally viewed as an overdraft, but Campbell looked viable as a NFL starter until the day he was traded.

One thing is for sure. It's been 2 years since DM5 left and Philly has yet to win a playoff game. So instead of them making it over the hump they have taken several steps in the opposite direction lol. I hope the curse continues indefinitely

What I wonder now is will dm5 swallow his pride and make himself available as a backup, where he could almost certainly play another few years (brunell is 41, and garcia just worked out for the texans at 41), or will mcnabb just retire.

I personally think he will retire, but if don loves the game and wants to help out still, im sure someone will sign him as a primary backup. Who knows, he may get the chance to start again one day, you never really know in the nfl...

The only reason to bring him (and AH for that matter) is to have them sit in a corner with dunce caps on.

I liked NC_Skins idea. Yes I'm still bitter over losing that 2nd round pick.

I'd also like to note that 3 years ago you couldn't have bet me that in the future Kyle Orton would be picked up off waivers but Donovan McNabb wouldn't.

MTK · 12-02-2011, 08:39 AM

He should just retire already.

McNabb's skill deteriorated so fast because of his lazy work habits and poor study habits. When he was younger he could get away with those flaws but not once he got older. I think his bad work and study habits are the reason MN got rid of him as they didnt want DM's bad habits rubbing off on their young QBs.
