Slow down Sally. 
Feeley came in for an injured McNabb back in 2002, did an adequate job, and won 4 of 5 games to allow us to slip into the playoffs. However, I'm pretty sure that his next playoff win, will be his first.
Garcia came in for an injured McNabb back in '06. EVERYONE wrote the season off after that. I believe we went on a 5 game win streak with him under center. We made the playoffs and won the first game against the G Men, a game in which he threw for a whopping 150 something yards. Next up was NO and we lost by 3.
It's not like either guy 'took care of business', as Booth says, and took us to the NFCCG.
and lets not forget that Andy pretty much dialed the playbook down and changed our pass-first philosophy to help these two guys. They practically took out half of the playbook and instituted a run game, something that Don would have greatly benefited from. |
Well Don's never took care of business either.. We still dont have any rings.
I do agree that Reid deserves half the blame too because of his lack of wanting to run the ball..
We can get into this like Dala and I did last year... but until we win the Superbowl every year is a dissapointment for me. That is just how I view success.
And the Eagles were every bit as good and maybe even more efficient when Garcia and Feeley were under center, but I'll give you that had something to do with the run... but it also had to do with the effectiveness of the QB's. They are both more accurate passers than McNabb... tho McNabb has a stronger arm and more game changing ability.
I dont hate McNabb.. I just am not going to give him the credit everyone thinks he deserves until he gets a ring... that is ALL that matters in this game.
If he wins a ring... I may even get tattoo of his face on my arm or something (JK) cause he'll be my hero forever.
Eagles are a MUCH better team when they run the ball 60% of the game. maybe this year Reid will understand finally.
