Can anyone explain to me how that is racist? Rush said he didn’t think McNabb was that good. At the time, the Philadelphia media to some extent agreed. The national media, meanwhile, was fawning over McNabb. Rush’s comment appears to be a swipe at the liberal national sports media.

And any objective analysis would tend to back up Limbaugh here. He never said McNabb wasn't a good quarterback, he just didn't deserve all of the fawning and accolades the media was giving him. In any case, Philly's success (or lack thereof) over that time period had a far more direct correlation with the health and production of Brian Westbrook than anything Donovan McNabb had done.

Kinda hard to separate Westbrook’s performance from McNabb’s. Westbrook is primarily a pass-catcher in Philly’s offense. Most of the rushing that he does is to keep the defense honest.

McNabb is good enough to have won a Superbowl when you look over the skills of the recent QB’s who have done so. The problem with Philly is that they can’t run the ball consistently against a playoff calibre opponent. It’s Andy Reid’s offensive philosophy that’s mostly at fault. Drives me nuts to see the Eagles still throwing the ball with 5 minutes to go with a 10 pt lead because they can’t convert a 3rd & 2 on the ground.
