McNabb

PheloniusRM · 10-30-2005

I can't stand it anymore. Mc Nabb is hurting the eagles and I cant understand why the coach keeps starting him. He had a serious injury. If they would have gotten him immediate attention and went with the backup qb he would be healed by now and the back up probably would have gotten the team to the same record by this time. Now the eagles have a marginal record and Mc Nabb is still hurt and not gaining any ground on his injury. He cant even throw the ball straight on a 10 yard slant. WTF is the coach thinking. I am so fed up cause the eagles are doomed if Mc Nabb stays in with his hernia.

Was listening to Aikman describe the risk inherent in operating on McNabb's injury. Apparently there's no guarentee he'll ever play again if he goes under the knife.

But I agree, McNabb looked awful for most of today's game.

I agree they should of been resting him, From what I've read its pretty painful injury and allowing to heal properly would of been in there best interest. Philly is sad to watch this year.

Best case would be he would be out 6 weeks after the procedure. That's BEST case. It could be the season. I think their view was if he went for surgery, it was like throwing in the towel for the season.

IMO they should have sent him to surgery. They aren't going to see the superbowl with him playing the way he is, so why bother?

Am I the only person that thinks McNabb isn't to blame here? I am willing to bet he isn't the one calling 50 pass plays a game. With a running back like Westbrook they, they shouldn't be passing the ball so often. Yes McNabb is hurt, but telling him to pass 50 times a game is more the coach's fault than Donovan's. Any QB that is asked to throw the ball 50 times a game, several games in a row is going to make mistakes. Donovan didn't give up 42 points yesterday, his defense did. One possession for the Eagles only lasted 12 seconds, 3 and out with 3 pass plays, shouldn't the offensive coordinator be somewhat to blame here? How about Andy Reid?

It's not like these coaches don't know he is hurt pretty seriously. They continue to call all these pass plays, which is the worst thing they can do with a hurt QB. Would you rather a hurt McNabb throw it 50 times a game or a backup with marginal experience? I would be willing to bet any backup in the league would do worse than McNabb throwing 50 times a game. 90% of the QB's in the league, while healthy would have done worse than McNabb thusfar throwing 50+ passes a game with only one real NFL starter at receiver.

Your QB is hurt, run the ball more with Westbrook, it's as simple as that. Should McNabb have sat out for the surgery? If they KNEW he'd back after 6 weeks, I say yes. Look at Matt Burk for the Vikings though, he's had 3 sports hernia related surgeries in the past year. He's sitting out this whole season after missing much of last season because of basically the same problem as McNabb. You gotta give McNabb some credit for his courage, and you can't blame all the Eagles problems on him. Many teams that make the Super Bowl and lose(or even win in some cases) aren't a shell of the same team the next year. Look at the Raiders from a couple years ago, the Carolina Panthers, even the Buccaneers after winning a couple years ago. The only team in recent memory to have any consistency after making the Super Bowl recently is obvously the Patriots, and other than the high of Tedy Bruschi coming back this week, they don't look like the same team of the last few years either. It's hard to maintain competitive edge in the NFL anymore.

is there a way to see my Vcash without having to post?

Doesn't seem like a good year for QBs. Culpepper is out, McNabb is hurt, and Manning sucks ass.

Fandros · 11-01-2005

Manning is leading his team quite well tho. Perhaps he's not having huge numbers, but he's running his offense and not making mistakes. That in itself is a great QB. Giving up his own personal numbers to assure the win.

Colts are in it to win it this year....dammit....

Oh I don't doubt he's leading his team well but his fantasy numbers are shit this year
