Donovan McNabb Thinks The Bears Made A Mistake By Not Signing A Better QB, Like Him.

And Jason pointed out the reason – McNabb still believes he is as good as he was 1/2 a decade ago. If he mentally aged more gracefully and was able to adapt his game to his declining skills, then I think it could be different.

I’m not sure that he would have been, but it was obvious that Hanie wasn’t the solution. I would have rolled the dice with McNabb while the playoffs were still a possibiity for them.

i don’t know about that. i think he was good for one or two more wins than Hanie gave them, which off the top of my head i think that would’ve put them in decent playoff position.

He’s not going not land in any good situations anymore unless he signs on as a backup somewhere. I could see a good team wanting him as insurance and if their starter went down he could probably still have some success.

But no one is going to hand him the reigns of a playoff team at this point.

Going for a third time?

They wanted him benched by week 3 and have seen the same things that we saw for 10 years..Missing wide open WRs, throwing balls behind them, throwing it at their feet, the same lackadaisical attitude, etc…Please stop saying it was not having enough weapons. When you miss wide open WRs it’s not the weapons its YOU

Please stop making excuses of McNabb in Minnesota. He came into camp into really poor shape, supposedly had an issue about not working hard enough to learn the playbook, and got released because they didn’t even want him around with his shitty attitude & work ethic for the rest of the year.

i’m sure they asked him to be a guest, and prolly also asked him that question. what should have said? no comment? athletes have opinions too, whether we like it or not.

what’d he do so wrong? he i’m sure answered the question asked. it’s his opinion. what do you expect him to think? Nah, i’m washed up, they did the right thing letting some no name QB play over me.

and btw, i agree with him. i think they screwed up royally by not exhausting all possibilities, given the position that team was in at that point of the season. to hand the reigns over to Caleb Hanie? i said it then, and i’ll say it now. bad move on the bears part.

Oh wait….

But I will concede that I was wrong about McNabb. His conditioning was obviously sub-par; there’s no reason he should have struggled this much at this stage of his career.

saddens me. for you that is.

I’m not seeing it

It looked like kill to me. Which for some reason was incredibly funny.

It’s funny how we are ALL divided about McNabb. On one side, he is the all-time Eagles record holding QB, and on the other hand, a “pompous, passive aggressive, egotistical”, declining QB. Now, I feel the Bears were/are idiots. No way Atlanta makes playoffs AND the Bears D could’ve put more pressure on Eli…who knows the outcome? Sitting in a pocket with no Urlacher, Briggs, or Peppers putting pressure on you vs Atlanta D, I know Eli laughed his ass off. Now, I believe McNabb CAN be a game manager!! A 6X Pro Bowl Q with a career avg QB rating of 85 (using ‘07-11 stats) is 10X better than Caleb Hanie any day!!! The Chicago Bears were CHEAP BASTARDS and probably didn’t want the locker room/media sh#tstorm or QB controversy if McNabb did lead them deep into the playoffs. Is McNabb a starting caliber QB? Depends on your comparision especially with Brees, Manning, Rodgers, Stafford, Brady, Roethlisberger wreaking havoc on teams. Speaking of Brees…remember how Miami wouldn’t take him coming off major surgery on his throwing arm? Or the Colts not wanting Marshall Faulk after major knee surgery? Brees won a SB with the Saints, and Faulk with the Rams. If McNabb “showed” up in great T.O. (funny comparison as I write this)/Jerry Rice shape and was with the right organization, I believe he may have a resurgence. Oh AND one more for ALL McNabb haters….Kurt Warner was was cut by the Rams, then Giants, and had his final resurgence with the Cardinals. And don’t think for one second the Niners are that good, Kurt Warner OWNED their ass majorly. They still make playoffs, yes, but what seed? Say for example they had to play the Saints, a Dome team, in there “backyard”? Different outcome. I could go on smacking McNabb haters, BUT I do hold some residual animosity for our failed 2004 Super Bowl. Then I think about Belichick, “Spygate”, and the fact he threw 357 yds(3rd highest in SUPER BOWL HISTORY)!!! However, we will all remember the 3 INTS especially 2 in Patriots territory. We lost 24-21….love him or hate, BUT the “Mofo” is pretty damn good. Google him and then try to argue

AND rec’d 5X for McNabb, the Eagles ALL-TIME leader in career wins, pass attempts, pass completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. I still OWN my McNabb jersey, and is the main reason I haven’t changed my profile pic. And for whomever said he wasn’t a great leader, etc, they need to ask Vick who taugh him to actually study/learn his playbook. Vick is ON RECORD stating he didn’t take his ATL playing days seriously or bothered learning a playbook; he came to Philly, saw how much MCNABB studied, and then decided to change how he approached the game by actually learning the playbook.

^This guy is right 90% of the time especially about McNabb…imagine an old, Southern Black lady or grandmother saying this, “Child please”. Kevin Kolb is laughable; go over to the Cards blogs…they are still butt hurt over a 2nd AND DRC!!! ;) I get you hate McNabb, but even NOW, the guy is a better athlete than you EVER could be.. ROFLMAO!!! Remember.. “Child please”
