Talk about incompletes!!! You can't be serious. The issue is the politically correct sports media. He doesn't hate McNabb.

Running quarterbacks can get you into the playoffs but they cannot produce when the championship is on the line.
Put a running QB's receivers' heads on swivels where they are looking more for where the defensive hitters are and they don't have time to follow the QB. He can put it in their hands but they don't see it coming until it's too late to catch it. Even if they do catch it, they are fully exposed to a blast from a full tilt defensive back.
Unfortunately, for Philadelphia, they will not win until McNabb is no longer McNimble enough to run and has to concentrate on being an NFL-style quarterback instead of a college make-something-happen QB.
McNabb did not suffer cracked ribs. He suffered "bruised cartlidge" according to the team doctor as reported on the radio news Monday morning.
As someone already posted, he could have easily gotten a novacaine shot and continued to play relatively pain-free, but he just couldn't rise to the occasion, just as he has failed to do many times before.
As much as I like McNabb as a nice, police, accomplished person and player, he totally flopped on Sunday and by doing so again, proved Limbaugh correct.
Anyone who continues to slam Limbaugh for what he said that fateful day on ESPN is simply trying to hide their own similar feelings about McNabb.
In other words, many people have subconsciously questioned why the media continues to paint McNabb as a brilliant player. They are just afraid to admit it for fear of being called a racist, as was Limbaugh.
Neither forgetting nor ignoring. Just telling it "the way it is" like howard Cosell used to.
It was a sad and sorry display by the media's "chosen one", Donovan McNabb.
The Eagles won this year in spite of McNabb, not because of him. They lost the NFC Championship game because of his lack of effort and his willingness to take himself out of a pressure situetion and turn over the chance to go to the Super Bowl to a journeyman QB. Can one imagine a Favre, Montana, Staubach (any of the great ones) going out without a fight?
If McQuit is as great as they say, would not a 50% McNabb be more effective than a 100% Detmer?
Our 5 minit team kicked Eagles lame butt and are going to the Super Bowl...Bwahahahahahahahhaha...

maybe picking a nit here, but didn't danny white do this in the early 80s with Dallas? and who was QB for Oakland when they did it?
Third quarter. And he had 3 INTs by then. Can't blame the receivers for those. And why has McNabb benefited from the "injured" excuse all season, while a REAL QB, Steve McNair, has played through far nastier injuries for the last two seasons? Rush is right...I heard the FOX P.C. crowd blaming EVERYONE but McNabb for the pathetic Philly performance. 4 INTs, an almost uncountable number of over and underthrown passes...McNabb was simply dreadful.
I would put McNabb in the top ten to twelve QBs in the NFL. His problem is that he was a #1 draft choice and was then way, way over-hyped (and overpaid), and so Philly is stuck with him for better or worse. He's strong, he has a lot of heart, and he can be a good scrambling/running quarteback if he ever resolves to play the game the way McNair plays it.
He is simply only an average passer, maybe a little better. But Elway or Marino he ain't.
I'll never forget being at a Titans game against the Cheifs where McNair took a helmet right to the sternum - broke it clean. He finished the game and won it in overtime.
Talk about incompletes!!! You can't be serious. The issue is the politically correct sports media. He doesn't hate McNabb.
then you would agree with me that the specific protection of QBs creates more problems than it solves. but how can they argue he wasn't defenseless, yet call him DOWN last week on an important third-and 10 when he never even left his feet AND threw the ball in the ara of a receiver?
Bad rules get worse when applied inconsistently. God forbid Nate Wayne jumped on Brett Favre like that.
Because Steve McNair is a white quarterback obviously.
