Philly fans who still love McNabb

Dan Steinberg points out how many people went to the Redskins' most recent preseason game with McNabb jerseys on, and then *GASP!* he talks to them. You mean somebody asked Philly fans how they feel about McNabb instead of telling us we hate him?

Nice work on skipping the familiar narrative. This is weird, as we've known for a while now, and many of us have different opinions about seeing 5 in throw-up yellow and blood red. While you might expect varying opinions out of an entire NFL fanbase, I appreciate Dan bothering to ask.

And I keep seeing weird examples of Eagles-Redskins love down here, like Va. redskins plates in Eagles frames. 5, keep us conflicted even after he's gone.

“I’m a Philly fan, and I’m a McNabb guy. Most Philly guys didn’t like McNabb, but I just think he’s a classy guy and a good quarterback.”

“[Philly] hates him, because he didn’t win a Super Bowl,”

Of course, Eagles fan themselves to a good job spreading the myth that McNabb was not well received in Philadelphia…

Idiots.

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

I think the majority of the fans liked McNabb

Unfortunately, the minority that dislikes him are the idiots that call up sports radio stations.

I talk to A LOT of Philly fans … the pulse is generally the same we love McNabb and what he did here, do we wish he won the Super Bowl? of course but I don’t hate him for not. Was I ready to move on? Yes but not because I hate McNabb but because I was ready for something new.
