McNabb is a good QB and a decent guy. He hasn't blamed his receivers or bad mouthed his teammates. His injury is legitmate and he tried to play through it. Manning is a great QB and New England had him and the Colts offense scouted perfectly. You can say the same thing about what Carolina did to the Eagles. McNabb is not a political figure and didn't ask to be part of a controversy. I defend Rush to no end, and I've cut back a lot of my watching ESPN since they pushed him off, but there's no point in running down McNabb. Exactly right. McNabb has handled this situation admirable from the start, and has not sought to capitalize on it or play the victim. However, there is a cadre of uneducated folks on this site who insist on badmouthing McNabb for something he had no part in.
The same folks who are quick to point out that Rush was talking about the media - not McNabb - for some reason insist on running down McNabb for the controversy instead of blaming the media for keeping the issue alive. Some irony...
