McNabb a (benched) Redskin

Re: McNabb a Redskin

He's third in the NFC East behind Manning and Romo. In the NFL, hmmm, he might be Number 11 now.

If you even have a porkpie hat, I'll eat my fedora.

Elway likewise "couldn't win the big one." Until he did.

 

Re: McNabb a Redskin

What part of McNabb was not a better quarterback than Elway do you not understand? You can take away the Super Bowls and Elway still grades higher in all all areas.

 

Re: McNabb a Redskin

I'm not saying McNabb and Elway are comparable as players, jackass.

I'm saying that at the same age, Elway was being tarred with the same brush: can't win the big one.

Still, McNabb can look forward to one thing: everybody thought John Elway couldn’t win the big one, either, until Mike Shanahan became his coach. And Shanahan will try to provide McNabb with something he rarely enjoyed in Philadelphia, a commitment to a powerful ground game.

 

Re: McNabb a Redskin

McNabb never carried a mediocre team to the Super Bowl. Elway did that three times before he got talent around him and then he won twice.

If you did a list of the best quarterbacks of the Super Bowl Era, Elway makes just about everybody's top five. I'm not sure McNabb would be in the top 20 and maybe not top 30.

 

Re: McNabb a Redskin

It's a terrible comparison that we're going to hear way too much about over the next season.

Writer: "Mike, can you compare Donovan at 34 to Elway at 34?"

Shanahan: "You're on crack right? On Elway's worst day he was better than McNabb."

 

Re: McNabb a Redskin

Canton truly is the Hall of Fame, it is also the Hall of the Very Good. It is not the Hall of the Very Best unlike Cooperstown.

It's getting to be the same circular reasoning among many that if you don't concede that McNabb is among the very best of the NFL QBs, you must be on the side that says McNabb is an over-rated choking dog.
McNabb is who we think he is, a very good quarterback, but not never in the top 5. He played on many very good teams, hence the the NFC CHampionship games he's played, but never a great team.

Jack ass is two words, per Drip's style.

 

Re: McNabb a Redskin

I'd have to look it up, but I don't think any team has made the playoffs as many times as the Eagles did with McNabb there.

I definitely dispute that he was never on a "great" team. That 2004 team was pretty dominant. How many times did they enter the playoffs as the top seed? I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure it was three or four times.

 

Re: McNabb a Redskin

Can you EVER make a reply without an insult?
John Elway collegiately was better that McNabb collegiately. As a pro, he was better. His leadership alone was clearly better than McNabb's. McNabb is going to Canton and rightfully so, but he wasn't a better QB in my opinion.

What does pride of pleasantville think?

 

Re: McNabb a Redskin

When you can post a reply that has something to do with what's actually being discussed, rather than responding to some voice in your head, I'll stop calling you a jackass.

I'm not saying McNabb's as good a quarterback as Elway.

I'm saying that the knock on Elway was that he "couldn't win the big one" either. Until he did win the big one.
