I don't really know but do you think the Pats would have lost that game had the qbs been switched? Or is Brady somehow able to produce a running game all by himself? Do you believe that McNabb had as good protection as did Brady? As good a game plan? Or that Bellichek would not have developed McNabb into a better qb than he already is?
McNabb was not at his best Sunday but there have only been 5 qbs who have passed for more yardage than he in a SB and this was with NO running game which allowed the Pats to just pin their ears back and concentrate on him. Brady had no such problems to face and the Eagles had to worry about much more that just Brady.
I will say that I saw McNabb take apart the Bears in a playoff game when they had been 13-3 with the most brilliant performance I have ever seen. Brady would not have been able to do that because he is not a runner. Why the Eagles did not use that ability in this game will always be a mystery to me.

Yes.
A very high proportion of high-yardage passing efforts have been in losing causes. It's not because the QBs are having a good game, it's BECAUSE the running attack is abandoned that they get the big yards.
