Philly QB's in my lifetime... we'll McNabb's been there 10 years, and I'm only 25. lets see... Doug Peterson (yeah I'll take McNabb over that). Jay and Koy Detmer? (I'll stick with DM) jay feely and Jeff Garcia (both times they were in for multiple games when DM was hurt the offense played much better as a unit - and for some reason Fat ass reids playcalling was better during those periods - for what reason I have no idea).
Randall (  ).. I'll take him over McNabb. We may not have won the superbowls, who knows, but it is impossible to hate Cunningham!
cant think of the other Philly QB's of my lifetime at the moment. |
Randall was actually a pretty good QB but if you are going to stick the "choke" label on Mcnabb, what would that make cunningham????????
Jaworski played during your lifetime. Compare his numbers to Mcnabb's. Mcnabb was better all of the way around.
Perhaps Mcnabb needs to move on and maybe he will get some much deserved credit. I can say the same for Andy Reid who is about as fine of a coach as there is in the league.
What is the definition of a choke? To me, its when you have a situation where you should easily win and you fail to get it done. How many of those situations was Philly in during that run of four straight NFC championships? On the road as dogs against St Louis, the greatest show on turf? No, they should have lost that game. At home against Carolina? Maybe they should have won that but remember Mcnabb played that one with broken ribs. Interestingly enough, earlier in that playoffs he made one of the most clutch throws in NFL playoff history by converting on 4th and 26 against the packers. At home against Tampa Bay? That Tampa Bay team rolled through everyone to a superbowl. They could play that game ten times and the results would have been the same. The other one they won. Are you saying they "choked" in the superbowl as SEVEN POINT UNDERDOGS????????
They never "choked" they simply got beat by better teams. They should be applauded for getting there four straight with inferior talent at skill positions as opposed to being labelled as chokers.
Same thing with the Buffalo Bills of the early 90's.
