McNabb needs to get into a system (or team) that can truly develop his arm. I don't think Philly is it. He has so much more to learn about being a great passer, and I don't think Andy Reid is the guy to teach him. BTW, who is the QB coach in Philly? If he truly has potential, then that potential needs to be developed. But if Philly keeps relying on his scrambling skills, they will never make it to the SB.

Andy Reid was a pretty good QB Coach himself, so I'm not sure that's it. I think in general the Eagles offense is too conservative. Whether that's by design, due to poor receivers, or as a result of McNabb, is anyone's guess.

"He [McNabb] has so much more to learn about being a great passer, and I don't think Andy Reid is the guy to teach him....If he truly has potential, then that potential needs to be developed. But if Philly keeps relying on his scrambling skills, they will never make it to the SB."

Excellent points, but apparently the Eagles hierarchy felt McNabb's style could get them over the hump. Now?? They may have to wise up and have someone bone McNabb up on pure QBing skills...

McNair has been able to re-adapt his style (which strongly resembled McNabb's) to more of a pure "passer/field general first." It's led to his success.

I disagree...If Philly had recievers that could HOLD on to the ball, McNabb would be putting up some impressive numbers..Philly is willing to pass...McNabb just needs some quality recievers....
