What makes McNabb so overrated is that his "versatility" is actually a weakness in the NFL. If you had told me last week that McNabb would run for more than 100 yards against Green Bay, I would have told you that the Eagles would lose the game. NFL teams don't run wishbone or other option-type offenses, so whenever a quarterback runs for that many yards it's the result of a miserable passing game. In the case of Philadelphia, their biggest problem is that they may very well have the worst receiving corps in the NFL.

Ironically, McNabb's style of play is very similar to that of a former Philadelphia quarterback named Randall Cunningham -- who also never won a championship ring, either.

McNabb has a lot more playoff wins than Cunningham did ( a BIG ZERO)

But I loved watching Randall play . He was exciting with that long stride and great arm

Randall never even won a playoff game, I don't think.

If Cunningham were on the Eagles of today in his prime, McNabb would be holding a clipboard.
