Dude, I am not even a Philly fan(I am a Dolpins fan), I live in the philly area and am stuck watching bad Eagles games. Mismanaged games, poor performances by that team and coach. Yeah he may have been the best QB in their history but that isnt saying much.
McNabb throws into the dirt when the WR is OPEN. He misses high as much as he misses wide, and when he is pressured or feels pressure he throws it to the WR feet. It it wasnt for passes to Westbrook he would have a completion ratio of under 40% Seriously take a step back and take a critical eye at your QB.
Now, can some of that blame be passed onto the WR for running an incorrect route? Sure I guess it can. But when he had T.O. all they did was play pitch and catch deep and over the middle. Oh did I forget the zero yard hitch? I remember Freddie Mitchell alligator arming a ball thrown his away shying away from the hit. That is on the WR. I remember McNabb throwing, on many occassions, into the dirt. THAT, is on McNabb there is no reason for missing an open WR.
Philly had a great run they hosted the Divisional Championship 4 years in a row. I remember McNabb closing out the VET with an INT to Ronde who promptly took it back 90 some odd yards for a TD to put the nail in the coffin on a championship game. McNabb has cost the Eagles as many games as any of their backups since he was there.
Andy Reid needs to learn that running the ball on 3rd and 1 is a good percentage play. I mean they draft Shawn Andrews (a great run blocker) and dont even run behind him on 3rd and 1? What is he thinking? Andy Reid has a huge EGO problem, that owner needs to step up and take away GM responsibilities from Reid so he can concentrate on coaching alone. Then maybe he will be the coach that the Eagles wanted him to be.
