McNabb leaving the Eagles?

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

You guys are nuts. Mcnabb's 30 years old and Garcia's 37. No way they get rid of Donovan.

I agree.  That's why I said in my prior post that there is no suitable replacement in sight.  That included Garcia.

a younger qb may benifit from having garcia around on the sidlines or maybe as a starter for next year but i dont think garcia could be a starter much longer than that

Ya, the age factor would make a difference for sure. On the other hand, someone who hasn't played much lately like Garcia, who is clearly still athletic, probably has a few years left. IMO he's proven that he's the better QB and revealed that Rush Limbaugh was right about McNabb-better to trade McNabb, get some good pics and draft a QB but i don't know if they're open-minded enough to do it.

There's always a shortage of decent QBs, plenty of teams would want him the same way Garcia can easily find work elsewhere. Based on what Garcia did it's obvious that McNabb's not as good as advertised, i don't think they make the playoffs with McNabb.

Exactly; even Bledsoe.

Not at all.  Certainly not according to the numbers.  He has been one of the most successful QBs in the NFL since 2000.

Bum's fixation with numbers has already been demolished, as witnessed by his obsession with the numbers re: Colt's run defense. Completely utterly off; anyone with common sense would've learned from that. Numbers and QBing can be very misleading. McNabb's a solid QB but Limbaugh was absolutely right. It was finally revealed when a better QB like Garcia took over.

Pumpster's refusal to look at the numbers is revealing.  Limbaugh said McNabb was overrated, because the media wanted to see a black QB succeed.  Let's look at the facts:

1.  McNabb led his team to the playoffs, with lousy WRs, in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 (when he had T.O.), which included four appearances in the NFC Championship game and a Super Bowl appearance. 

2.  He has thrown for 22,080 yards and 152 TDs v. 72 INTs, ran for 2,726 yards and 24 TDs. 

3.  He has been named to the Pro Bowl 5 times. 

4.  Before T.O., he had one of the worst sets of skill position players in the NFL.

I think this explains why you don't want to look at the numbers.   

What facts do you have to support the contention that he is overrated?

McNabb's a solid QB

He has a career QB rating of 85.2 which is good but not great.  "Solid" is an accurate description IMO.  The problem is, even solid QBs are very valuable in this league.

Dude you could not have been *more* wrong on the Colt's run defense. Get a clue that you're on the wrong path.
