From Limbaugh to Blitzers, Eagles' Quarterback, Donovan Mc Nabb, Has Persevered. Donovan McNabb and his Philadelphia Eagles teammates would prefer not to be remembered as a team that played in three straight NFC championship games and lost every one of them, including two at home.

"...Rush Limbaugh saying he was overrated because he was a black quarterback."
Rush didn't say he was overrated because McNabb was black, he was saying McNabb was overrated because he wasn't as good a quarterback as the media would have you believe. So, the media overrated McNabb because McNabb was a black quarterback. There's a difference.
By the way, would somebody please blitz the FOX announcer's booth and blindside Chris Collinsworth. What an idiot...
Colts win this weekend. Defeat the Fleagles in SB: 38-13. Book it!
FYI -- QB rating is a useless stat that totally ignores various other aspects of the game that affect a QB's numbers (strength of running game, QB rushing yards, individual game strategies, strength of defense, a team's red zone strategies, etc, etc).
Most stats are when they don't give the answer one wants.

Except that I'm not a McNabb fan. (I think he's in the top third of QBs but certainly not an MVP or a pro-bowler).
QB ratings were devised a few decades ago. No one started using them until recently. There is a reason for that.
