Re: McNabb, case study-coaching or talent at qb?
You know, people bring up the receivers we had last year a lot...
I was recounting last year how McNabb struggled finishing games. One of the most maligned guys on the team last season was Joey Galloway. But when I thought about it, there were so many times when McNabb sold Galloway out.
Week 2, Joey is wide open, McNabb overthrows him in the end zone, no touchdown on what would've iced the game for the team. Week 4, Galloway's wide open again, streaking towards the end zone, but McNabb throws an bizrre interception right to an Eagles player. Like, right to him. Galloway runs wide open on the right, and McNabb throws left right to an Eagle.
Versus Indy, Galloway has a step on his man, McNabb doesn't put it far enough out in front of Joey, picked off. Titans game, Joey comes open for the first down in the red zone, McNabb comes back to him so late that Galloway is literally waving his arms around screaming "I'M OPEN", only by time McNabb gets the message, the DB catch on, picked off.
Galloway could've easily had three touchdowns, all of them game sealing, but McNabb completely sold him out, and the blame falls on Joey.
And let's not forget the deep passes to Armstrong that should've been touchdowns, and you could throw Fred Davis in there too, since Davis had to come back to some of those.
Hindsight really is 20/20...
