McNabb: "I think I've played great"

"I think I've played great," McNabb said. "I don't look at the stats aspect of it, but if you do, then it is better than it has been in years. Offensively, we've been able to do some good things, and some things, obviously, we would love to change. I don't regret any of the things that I've done this year. I'd love to do better in this game coming up ... Certain things are just an inch away, not getting a first down here, or whatever it may be. Obviously, if we were able to get that done, we wouldn't be sitting in this spot right now."
That's the quote which is the talk of Eagles nation this week. It snuck in on Wednesday after I left on my holiday travels and it appears I'm not the only fan to miss it.
The quote is what it is. Has Donovan McNabb played great? No, that's just a fact. He hasn't been bad, certainly not as bad some people have made him out to be, but there's no doubt that we've seen McNabb play better than he has this season.
But like I said... the quote is what it is. It's not his honest assessment of his play this year. It's his defense mechanism kicking in. He sees his position being encroached on, he hears the criticism, and he knows his safety net(contract) is gone. McNabb is signed through 2013, but after this year there is just a little over a million
worth of prorated money left on the deal. That means if the Eagles were to cut or trade McNabb this offseason it would cost the team about $1.2 million against the cap. In NFL dollars, that's nothing. After 2006, McNabb has no prorated money at all and his contract escalates to 10 mil, 12, 14, & 16 in 1013. However, since he reached certain incentives over the past few years, the lats three years of his contract are voidable. Even so, with no prorated money the Eagles could cut him at any time and take no cap hit whatsoever.
It's no surprise that McNabb also indicated he wants a new contract.
"Everybody wants a new deal," McNabb said Wednesday. "But, that's not why we're playing this game. We're playing this game to win and things happen. I've been answering this question the last couple of years, so I guess to eliminate that part of it, hopefully (a new contract) will happen, but we'll see."
The guy has a young QB behind him and no financial motivation for the team to keep him around. Clearly, what he would be looking for in a new deal would be more guaranteed money that would firm up his job as starting QB for the next several years.
Right now, McNabb is still pretty much saying the right things. He's indicated his interest in a new deal, but he hasn't drawn a line in the sand. He hasn't said "if you don't give me a new deal then someone else will." He still says he expects to return... but it will be interesting to see where this goes in the offseason.

as much as I love this man
30 is a big age for RBs, generally you see a decline. I REALLY hope I’m wrong and he continues to play well for us until he’s in his 40s but realistically it’s a young mans position.
And Yes there are exceptions off the top of my head Thomas Jones and LT maybe a few others, Warrick Dunn is like 33-34 and he has had an okay year.

We hated Donovan before he even played. We let super stars walk because they’re either a)too old or b) want too much $$

I love how everyone pops off comments like this… it’s not as if they haven’t tried… they were tied to roy williams and fitzgerald in the offseason… shit, they offered Randy Moss more money than what he signed for with NE… are they supposed to hold guns to peoples’ heads to make them sign contracts?
But T.O. and his sideline histrionics wear on a quarterback. He's like the hot stripper you tried to clean up and convert into a real girlfriend. It's a lot of fun until the moment she has her second drink while out to eat with your parents. You unravel quicker than she does.

Good point Foos
Plus, would we really have wanted to give up a 1st, 3rd and 6th to get Roy Williams’ stellar 34 rec, 426 yards and 2TDs? I think he’s way overrated.
I just wish there were a marquee WR who is a free-agent this offseason. I guess there’s TJ Who’syourmomma…we’ll see…

The draft picks
While I agree that the production has not been there, there was a mindset for the draft picks. First, they didn’t have a 6th because of the Jones pickup from Tennessee. When he got suspended, they got that pick back, so in essense they gave up a pick that they already were without, if you know what I mean. And they already had a higher 3rd from a Cleveland trade during this year’s draft. My guess is that they got the extra picks in lieu of saying they would give up a 1st rounder for a receiver – a position they have wanted to improve on over the past 2 years.
I believe they could have used those picks to move up and draft a receiver in the first, but Roy E already has film tape in the NFL, unlike any WR from the draft.. That’s not to say that it’s the right move – again, his production has been well below what it should be – but comparing that to what they would have to give up to get a WR in the draft, it may end up being a wash.

I don't care...
…how optimistic the organization internally feels about Kolb, there is no possible way they could feel comfortable turning over the reins to him in ‘09. Like Whodie said earlier, that’s 3-13 right there. I know he’s had limited PT and we can’t draw inferences from such a small sample size, but good God he’s looked bad.
I think Donovan gets a new deal because there are no other options.

I agree
I think it’s safe to say that almost every franchise starting QB had better starts to there career. I think Aaron Rodgers had a tough start but don’t quote me on that. It’s to early to judge but by the same logic it’s to early to designate him the guy.

There isn't many QBs
way way way too early. Let’s see him start a few games before we can even begin to talk about his talent. We seen him in preseason he definitely has an arm, and accuracy. Let’s give him a chance to work with the offense and put it together.

You guys are probably right he won’t be as good as donovon would be if he played for us in 2009, but with a GOOD strong, young defense we certainly won’t be bottom feeders. Let’s give the kid a chance before we throw him to the wolves also. I doubt there is another city that kicks their players to the curb before they get a fair chance than Philadelphia.

I never said to give up on the kid. I have said before that there is nothing wrong with a QB in waiting sitting behind a guy for 3-4 years. I am saying that giving up on Donovan is dumb and getting rid of him just because he has trade value is what the old Phillies would have done, and I don’t want a franchise like that again.

I don’t want Donovan gone just yet. However, based on his inconsistent play this year and him wanting another contract the FO might see it differently. Would you give him away if someone gave us a 1st? I think I would

I just think we have to have some confidence in Kolb if he is our starter next year. Matt Cassell’s preseason wasnt great but hes doing some pretty good things for a guy who hasnt started since high school. I know he has Moss and Welker but it takes more than great receivers to be a good QB in this league or else Ryan Fitzpatrick would be winning too. If the coaches are confident in their choice of Kolb over Feeley, they must see something that us fans dont see. I say we give him a year or so to get his feet wet with the starters and then we make form our opinions after that.

I love Donovan and ive been one of his biggest backers this year and any other year. but I really am growing tired of this stuff from him. after every loss he seems to say we should have won. he takes this “woe is me” attitude and acts as if he is the victim in everything. after the monday night game against Cleveland he felt the need to reiterate atleast 6 times “i dont agree with the benching”. I know the MNF crew were baiting him into saying that but there are a thousand better ways to answer that question. it was as if he felt bad for himself because it happened when truth is if he had just thrown the ball to the right team he would have stayed in
this “i think ive played great” thing makes it seem like hes shifting the blame from himself and distancing himself from the team. kinda like how after the superbowl all #81 could talk about was how great and heroic he played with that injury despite the fact that we lost by 3 points and he didnt get in the endzone. even if it is true to a certain degree that McNabb hsa not recieved the necessary support, he is the quarterback. part of being the quarterback is shouldering the blame for both good and bad times. McNabb is the leader of the team whether he likes it or not and his attitude towards the media trickles down throughout the rest of the team. when he says things along the lines of “ive played great i dont know why were not winning” (i know those werent the exact words) the rest of the team thinks the same way.
I love donovan and i want nothing more then to see him win a title here. He is an NFL warrior and he deserves it, but im starting to question whether or not he has the intangibles to lead this team. I dont want to see this team cut an established franchise quarterback to hand the reigns over to an unproven 2nd round draft pick out of a small school running a gimmicky offense. but if a great offer comes to the table, one that would improve this team greatly, i may not be against parting ways.

you're right about who would want him.
if you are a contender then you already have a QB, unless you are MINN.
The Roy deal with Dallas is different, 1) Roy is much younger 2) Dallas had extra picks in the middle rounds. I would trade first and third rounders for Roy anyday. A fifth round pick won’t make the Cowboys next year. Don’t let Roys #‘s fool you. It’s Romo’s fault.
What other team besides MINN would be bidding for McNabb? He only has MAYBE 2 years left.

say the Cowboys make the playoffs and then exit as there norm in the first round
the will get the last pick of the playoff teams assuming all AFC teams win and have better records. Let’s assume the first round pick they give up is 22 and 3rd round is 86 and 6th round is 182. According to the draft trade chart thats 958.6 points the Lions gave up Roy (1st round 7th pick) and a 7th rounder (assume it’s number 1 in the round) 1514.2 points according to the chart. Seems like the cowboys made out on the deal.
That said he hasn’t really lived up to his 7th overall pick status IMO (and I know he played with the Lions but all they do is throw so his numbers if anything are inflated. He’s not even in the top 40 WR this year 2007 he was 34 2006 he was tied for 3rd and 2004 and 2005 he was out of the top 30 but he was young. So 1 year he has been a top 10 WR that’s not exactly what I want out of a first round top 10 pick. Not to mention after his 2006 season he has declined.

Mcnabb a warrior? As Ari Gold would say "Are you kidding me?"
Mcnabb in not a warrior. Flat out no way you call this kid a warrior. That is thee highest complement you can give to a player. He isn’t deserving. Brett Farve comes to mind, not Donovan Mcnabb.
I agree with everything else you said though. I am really tired of his attitude and defense mechinisms and all that crap. I don’t really see a point for him to leave right now, but I am looking toward a better day without all of his bitching and smiling everytime something goes wrong. I have been backing him since day one but this year I am starting to fall of the wagon.
Note to Donovan. When you smile after you mess up it looks really stupid. Also, if trying to play all laid back hasn’t produced a ring in 10 years, maybe its time to start adjusting your behavior. Just a suggestion.
The Bears do need a QB though.

Every hear of epinephrine?
When you are in a fight or a highly stressful state your body produces epinephrine, this hormone is can make people numb, battle through gun shot wounds etc etc. I thought this was commonly known. He broke his fibula, not his tibula, fellas.
He isn’t a fighter and even Bernard Hopkins has attacked him many times because he knows what it is to be a real fighter.

tibula
that’s pretty hard to break….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibula
perhaps his tibia?
also, epinephrine is a short term molecule. it acts in a short term response to stress. so maybe initially adrenaline was what was allowing him to continue, but the farther removed from the incident, epinephrine levels decreased, and it was his choice to continue playing. plus, by your logic, shouldn’t all of these players who break bones during games be able to return based on the effects of epinephrine?

Like OMG I messed up...
Tibia, I have missed the last 2 semesters in school because I am poor so I am rusty.
OMG, such a huge mistake, ( I guess you Penn Grads would have your fathers pay for you huh?)
Yes, you are right about that. I never broke my leg but that is not the whole point of what I said (You guys sure love to nit pick don’t you).
I never called him a pussy for throwing up. I called him out of shape for that. He doesn’t need to be huge to play QB… They used to talk about Dante Culpepper being good at 275, look at him now. LOL
Mcnabb isn’t a warrior as far as I am concerned. There are many different ways to define a warrior and this is most likely the problem we are having.
I am not going to look up ten billion stats, I used to do that with Andrew B when I had the time and all but I don’t really care at this point.
Calling someone a warrior is thee best thing you can call them nothing is higher. In my mind, only 5 to 10% of all athletes, and actual Marines and soliders can hold this term. There are even different reasons for even calling them a warrior. You could do it because they are a extreme competitor or they can play(and win) while hurt or they overcame soo much to even get on the field etc etc. The list can go on forever. I could tell you about Marine stories that I actually saw with my own eyes, and could reference old ass stats and folklore. The reasons Mcnabb isn’t a warrior is as follows:
A) Modern day medical technology is amazing. There is Coritzol, EPI pens(Used for fast injections of epinephrine at any moment), and pills out the wazu.This makes a huge difference in everything compared to the old days.
B) Jerry Rice somehow can blow his knee out(ACL and MCL) on opening day and play again on Monday night in week 14, I think. Then he busted his patellal in the same knee I might add and he returned by the next season. With no hiccups. Maybe becuase his is a living lengend and a warrior????(He might be able to do this because he isn’t 250plus in the offseason?)
C) Mcnabb has shown he can come back late in the 4th, but he hasn’t done it in forever. The last ones I can think of are Tampa and New Orleans in 06. He continually has missed tons and tons off oppurtunities to show himself as a warrior of a field general and failed. He could have done what every other great QB game manager had to do in thier own career. Meaning before coaches could call TO’s, QB’s would take charge of that and thier 4 and 2 min offenses. Mcnabb hasn’t. Why? I know he can run fast as shit and bench 415 and all. But suspiciously around the end of games he just doesn’t run as fast as other QB’s(Tom Brady-Peyton Manning). Why?(Maybe he isn’t and hasn’t been in good enough shape). I know he didn’t go to Michigan and isn’t a coach on the field like Manning but many QB’s can run a 4th QB offense, he doesn’t (I think he ran the hurry up with on the field audibles great in 06 by the way). He ran in his first couple of years but he doesn’t now. He could have saved his buddies ass(Reid) but he just hasn’t got it.
D) I’ve have literally have worn out the words fire, grit and fighter, heart and other words like that. Mcnabb hasn’t shown them. I’m not talking about the 4th quater walking. 2004 is really the only season I can remember this team having a semblence of a killer instinct (Micheal Jordan referred to it as having the mentality of a shark in his book Driven from With in). Meaning when the F^&* has Dmoney shown the killer instinct? When we have a lead most of the time we let the other teams come back or what I like to call falling a sleep at the wheel. I don’t know how many times we have won by 21plus(and I don’t care) but Mcnabb shouldn’t let off the gas like he continually has. He doesn’t kick a team when they are down, he should. Manning and the Colts and New England has.
A lot of the things I said can and should have been fixed and “Coached up” and haven’t. That is Andy Reid’s fault. But together they rise, together they die.
And a lot of the success that the Eagles had in the first few years had to be contributed to the weak NFC East as well.

That was really the whole point of what I said, right? Ohh I must have forgotten the breadth of your knowledge base.

So I guess everyone that is in the NFL is warrior huh? Just like Steve Sabel and the NFL propaganda machine spit out of the idiot box huh? You must really be a tool if you think a fat ass, cry baby like Mcnabb is warrior. He is very talented and a top 5 Qb, but no warrior title for him.
BDawk even said that he is no different than everyone else, the only thing that makes him special is that he can run faster and jump higher than the average cat.
Wasn’t the Arizona game in like 2003 or something? Too bad he didn’t throw 4 TD’s vs the Panthers in the NFC championship game. Where was Mcnabb’s warrior sprirt then?

Loans are useful
and expensive. If you don’t have a family to stay with school can get really pricey. That is why I am waiting for the new GI Bill in August. It pays for everything. The old one didn’t.
So when I graduate I don’t have to wait 10 years to buy a house or go on a vacation. Some people think that they can deal with 60-80K in student loans. I cannot.

some people get jobs and pay for there schooling, living expenses and everything in between like I did it’s really not that difficult if it’s something you want to do. Others just bitch and moan about how tough life is.

As a Cowboys fan, I wouldn't mind him gone
It’s tough to find a franchise quarterback so you have to cherish him while he’s there. Be thankful your team is always competitive and don’t get tunnel vision about whether the guy riding pine is a step up. I think there are some quarterbacks worth taking a look at in this draft but there’s no way any of them should be starting in 09 for the Eagles. Stick with McNabb, let a new guy learn behind him (heck maybe Kolb could still be the guy), but don’t take a franchise guy for granted while he’s here.
Take it from a guy who had to watch Chad Hutchinson, Quincy Carter, Ryan Leaf, Clint Stoerner, Vinny Testeverde, Anthony Wright, Drew Henson, Drew Bledsoe and Randall Cunningham play for the Cowboys in a six year span.
