He starts off by saying, "I don't think he's been that good from the get-go."
What a moron.
There's a difference between saying "he's not good" and saying, in reference to people making him out to be a great QB that's now struggling, that you didn't think he was "that good" from the start.
For example, by week 12 of last year people could be talking about how Clinton Portis seemed to be running out of gas and wasn't seeming like a pro bowl back like he did at the start of the year. I could've easily made a class to say that frankly he wasn't "that good" to begin with (in reference to how good people were making him out to be a top 5 back), but that it was mostly good line play at the beginning of the year that was doing it for him.
That's not me saying Clinton Portis is a BAD back, just that the down turn in the 2nd half of the year wasn't surprising to me because he wasn't as good as people were making him out to be in the first place.
Just for fun too...McNabb's standings in 2003.
17th in TD's
16th in QB rating
14th in Yards
19th in completion percentage
I don't need to read anyone's opinion. I've watched pretty much every freakin' game he's played. :doh
You don't make Pro Bowls for being ****ty. A consensus voted him in... and I can assure it was not cuz he's black.
The biggest problem with McNabb is that he's injury prone. If there's one critique of him, that has got to be it.
You're basing this off the Pro Bowl Really?
Let me show you some fun fun fun pro bowl statistics.
First, go look at the amount of times Mike Vick got voted to the Pro Bowl and how many QB's had better TD, Yards, completion percentage, and every other important QB stat. It was popularity, plain and simple.
Second, again the pro bowl is as much about popularity as it is actual talent. Lets examine two players. Both play MLB. Going back to 2000
One has 911 tackles, 20.5 sacks, 48 pass defenses, 21 ints, 2 defensive TDs, and 11 force fumbles. He's been on one super bowl winning team.
The other has 1102, 25 sacks, 37 pass defenses, 14 ints, 3 defensive TD's, and 10 force fumbles. He's been on one super bowl winning team.
So one has more ints, Forced fumbles and pass defenses. The other has more tackles, more sacks, and more defensive TD's. What's the difference?
One is a 10 time pro bowler...Ray Lewis
One has never been to the pro bowl....London Fletcher
Being a good player helps with the Pro Bowl, but being in the Pro Bowl doesn't necessarily mean you're one of the tip top players of that position
Three, in regards to probowl voting, go look at what happened last year with the 8-8 redskins prior to the coachs/players vote. 25 redskins were sitting among the top 5 vote getters at their avrious positions, and the 8-8 skins would've had 17 bro bowlers.
Yes, McNabb is a good QB. He's not a top 3 to 5 QB in the league, especially when you consider his injury prone nature.
