The Eagles fans watch him every week and they don't feel this way about him. Donovan is a good quarterback who has been dinged up for the last three years. He and the offense he plays in lean heavily on the screen pass which pads his stats and doesn't require him to do much. He used to make a lot of plays with legs, now he sometimes makes plays with his arm. He's not now what he once was, and what he once was was not what some people think it was. I don't understand why Redskins fans have such an emotional attachment to a Philadelphia Eagle.

I don't have an emotional attachment. I can just respect a good football player, regardless of what team he plays for. To say screen passes pads his stats is ridicules. Every team in the NFL throws screen passes. Philly throws it downfiled as much as anyone. His play speaks for itself.
