2698434, He is, but time has not been kind to his legacy
Posted by Beamer6178, Mon Jun-10-19 12:59 AM
Especially since the Eagles have finally won one.

When you think about top QBs and the talent they have around them, McNabb has definitely had one of the weaker casts. TO's first year proved that with help, Dono could ball out number wise, 31 TD and 8 INT or something.

Looking at all those "chokes," can't help but see who his receivers were and recognize were they better, perhaps the team isn't even in "choke" position.

Funny thing about the SB, Spygate notwithstanding, Pats won by running a balanced offense, Eagles were doing Andy Ball and we KNOW how effective that has been. Don't take my word for it, go back and check NE's run/pass selection and Philly's.

Dono is not perfect and yes, were he greater, perhaps he could have eked out more playoff wins. But I'm having a hard time coming up with a Super Bowl winning QB who did more with less, in terms of defense and solid, reliable receivers. The Pats guys may not have been Megatron esque, but they ran good routes and could catch.
