Bold Guarantee: Donovan McNabb is Going to Leave Philly After this Year

20
Vote

by SSreporters

You heard me right guys. I think Donovan McNabb is finally headed out of Philadelphia. Which team (Bears) he'll land, is totally different. The guy is an Eagles legend, he took his team to the Super Bowl. But the collapse started once he forgot to play the final 5:30 of Super Bowl 39. The following year, they were soaring to new heights, and bombed because he got injured. They miss the playoffs, so no biggie. But the Eagles signed Jeff Garcia, and whenever a B grade QB comes in, that makes McNabb nervous. So in 2006, they struggle with him, he gets injured again, and he's gone for the year again. Jeff Garcia turned it around and they were close to making the NFC Championship game. Garcia is released, but in the NFL draft, they get Kevin Kolb. It's a weird pick, but maybe that's saying something.


Kevin Kolb is an unknown, but with McNabb often injured, and inconsistent, this to me raised some questions for the new year. When I predicted the Eagles would make the playoffs, I said that they would only if McNabb is healthy. Well, it's this year, and he's healthy. But, he has slowed down, he's not as quick and willing to run because of pressure. Now the Eagles are 0-2, and their season may very well rely on beating the 2-0 Detroit Lions at Lincoln Financial Field. It's only 3 games into the year, but McNabb has struggled, and has produced one touchdown in 2 games. If things don't turn around soon, he's done. Because east coast sports fans are brutal, and they'll be hounding him constantly.


In conclusion, it's kind of like a sandwich for McNabb. The fans hated the choice of him over Ricky Williams, then they loved it after a short period. Now, he's close to being hated again. He hasn't won a game in his last 4 or 5 starts if I'm correct. Watch out McNabb, you're 32, and your Eagle career is coming to a close (waits for commenters to disagree).

"he fans hated the choice of him over Ricky Williams" - That's not true...if you read "The Philadelphia Fan Book" you'll learn that Cataldi and gang really wasn't representative of philly fans as a whole...

But as the QB of the eagles, you only need to do one thing to be liked...

What you'e failed to mention is that starting next year, McNabb no longer receives any guaranteed money...we'll probably know for sure by March 1 (or so)...

I hate how everyone in Philly always gets all over McNabb. He is one of the best QBs in the league (when healthy) and he is a great team and off the field guy. He has given so much to the city to simple get nothing but scrutiny and no support in return. When (unfortunatly no longer if) he goes to another team (like the Bears or Minnesota) that have pieces (like a defense) in place, McNabb will be a hero. And Philly fans (who now call for Donavan to leave) will get angry and ask "Why'd we ever get rid of that guy."

this is exactly what I am talking about...

McNabb is under alot of pressure from the fans. He is unappreciated now, but wait until he leaves and everyone wants him back.

Personally, I attribute the bad offense on bad preperation and bad play call (even though no one has really executed on offense).

I had read about this in ESPN the Magazine that McNabb will most likely be gone at the end of the year, and Chicago being the proverbial frontrunner since Grossman's contract is up. He's 32, has had his share of injuries and is headed toward the downside of his career. There is nothing wrong with retooling. It is when a team hangs on to players too long, when things go sour.

This Fanatic doesn't represent Philly by the way.

I'm a stern critic of McNabb. I love what he brought to this team (when he didn't choke or was healthy). I like McNabb and his class act self. He's a great guy and helped put Philly back in the talk of great teams. But enough is enough. He's 31, he's injury prone. He has to be done this year, it's time to think our future. McNabb did his job, and now he;s out of time with him aging. Is kolb the answer? I don't know. Can Kolb do what mcNabb couldn't? I hope so.

McNabb should never be spoken as a bad QB. What he brought to this team and what he has done, has earned him my never ending respect for him.

You know what makes me angry about the Bears quarterbacking situation... Kyle Orton is their third stringer. What did he go like 10-1 as a starter? I know he did not play all that well but at least he managed games. I think he should at least be a backup some where not buried on a depth chart behind Rex Grossman and Brian Griesse of all people.

But no one in Philly (to the best of my knowledge) says McNabb is overpaid...he has the richest contract among QBs (assuming Vick's contract is now gone) and it doesn't really bother me...he's earned his pay every year, that's for damn sure...

Well...i was doing some thinking about this...and McNabb is sorta right about being more scrutinized...

But the point was really proven to me by what peter king found (not by what he said, because he's a moron)

"Black quarterbacks have to deal with different things than white quarterbacks. If you don't think that's true, then you are naïve. I bet Fran Tarkenton, Steve Young, Jake Plummer and Doug Flutie have never been told by a member of a racial consciousness organization that they don't play the quarterback position white enough." - McNabb

Look, its not the fans, its his own people, like that Philly NAACP pres who ripped McNabb for not running...

Its not the scrutiny of being a QB (even in Philly) that's brutal...its the scrutiny of needing to be a black QB (not surviving as one)...people look up to McNabb and that's hard...
