    Yes thats right, McNabb is a top 5 QB and ill prove it now.

    I was reading the paper this morning, and i came across this intresting stat about mcnabb that ill link you to.
    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>.... The Eagles need him to avoid another early-season slump and play like the quarterback who completed 64 percent of his passes and had a 97.3 quarterback rating in the final 10 regular-season games last year.</div>
    that was part of this article if u want to see it...http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/sports/9235084.htm?1c

    so that got me thinking...

    That proves to me and should to you, that when Donavon McNabb is healthy he is a top 5 QB. Look, 2 years ago, Donavon McNabb was destroying teams, he was every sports station, magazine, expert, fans mid season MVP, but then he got hurt and didnt play the rest of the season. He was dominant, posting a 87 QB rating, 17 TDs while just 6 INTs in 10 games, thats pretty good.

    The year before that he had another great season, 25 TDs over 12 INTs in 16 healthy games, 57% which isnt great, but still good and led the eagles to their fist of many NFC CG.

    The year Before that, he was MVP runner up to all-world Marshall Faulk, his numbers werent amazing, but still good 21 TDs over 13 INTs, in his first year starting, and also led the 5-11 eagles to 11-5.

    Last year playing the first part of the season(5gameS) with sprains and breaks in 2 fingers he sucked, he got off to a horrible start, and the WRs didnt help either, they didnt have a TD untill week 8. He finished off the season hot, on a 9 game win streak and had 14 TDs in 10 games and 5INTs in those games. 3 out of those 10 games his Rating was under 80, they were 79.8, 72, and 69.4, but he also had 5 games were his rating was over 100, Wash. Dallas, NO Atlanta nad NY. He also passed for over 300 yards twice.

    So tell me why hes not good. Hes dominant when healthy, he wins games and tell me why hes going to be bad with a great WR? a great WR that hes friends with?

    I can't disagree at all. I love watching McNabb play and I really don't understand why so many people (not necessarily here) seem to want to knock him.

    Because he's not an accurate passer and he's hyped up as a great QB. How can you be a great QB when you're not accurate throwing the football? This year will be the tell tale. With TO on board, if he can't make it work, he never will.

    SF, hes had drops, the WRs hes had sucks. Charles JOhnson, TOrrance Small, their both out of the league, Todd Pinkston is on his way if he does bad this year and james thrash? their all averge and worse, TO will make that go up.

    if hes overratd as a passer, explain the TD-INT ratio?

    i am agreeing(obviously). when he is healthy he can be a force. when he isnt healthy he can still be better than the average QB.

    Healthy= top 5
    not healthy= top 10

    he was working w/ no really good Qbs and now hes got TO. of course he can sorta teach the younger less good Qbs.

    Kearse/Trotter- they will help the defense and this will definitely the year for the eagles. THEY WILL BE THE FORCE THEY WERE 2 YEARS AGO.

    I'll admit it if I'm wrong, but his mechanics have never impressed me.

    Are you stu stu stu stupid? haha just kidding but seriously do you watch them? last year they threw to Pinky for their first play just about every game at least 30 yards deep, and he caught all but one of them? Pinky for all of his failures(NFCCG) is a better deep ball WR than a short catcher, hes made a big long play just about every game his last 2 years, thats all hes good for. and he doesnt drop the ball that much(except the NFCCG) he just cant get off the line alot or gets off late and its to late. i think you better watch a game more closely because hes alot better long then short, and he always leads the Eagles in YPC, and trust me he doesnt get them running after he catches it.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>He does not throw down the field well at all.</div>
    SF, i think Mcnabb is a better and more acurate long ball thorwer and short, i mean he threw the deep ball at syracuse alot and was good at it, hes better at that IMHO.

    Mcnabb makes more plays with his feet than he ever has with his arm. I mean count the times he SHOULD have been sacked, then got away and completed a pass or picked up positive yardage. Health and sorry recievers have been his worst enemy the past few years. Better get it done this year because the heats going way up in the East real quick. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!?

    This argument is just like you saying you have the best rush defense because they were number 1 for the first 5 weeks. McNabb is not top five so just get over it. As for the "dropped passes" excuse thats a joke, I was there in philly week two last year and McNabb couldn't find the side of a barn with his throws. He has no deep ball and I saw you compare him and culpepper in another post which was laughable as well since McNabb could only dream of having the arm culpepper does.

    McNabbs arm may not be the best in the league, but he's still a great leader for this team, and when healthy he is unstoppable. I don't compare my quaterbacks by how they throw the ball, it's how they lead their team. Shit, Brooks can throw the ball, but he can also lose a game with his stupid ass fumbles.

    Pats, what cant you see, HE WAS INJURED THAT GAME, a broken finger and a sprained finger. look at warner and how that effected him....everyone else agrees hes a great QB i dont see why you and bears and beef dont see that.

    tell me why he isnt that good? seriously tell me


    hes comparable to cullpepper because hes built like a LB, runs like a FB. i know what your saying tho, that analogy was a bit outrageous considering McNabb doesnt turn the ball over as much, and has more agility and can move better, and has done more without randy moss.
