My point with Mcnabb had more to do with team success. He was the face of the eagles during the most successful period for the team during the modern era. Statisically, the two are impossible to compare although obviously Reggie White will certainly be more memorable 50 years from now.

No it isnt close to the same. It is really quite simple. White was far superior at his position than McNabb was at his using virtually any measuring tool.

And if McNabb had more to do with his teams success than he also on the other hand takes more of the blame for for its failures of which there have been many. The Eagles success of the last 10 years has not exactly been a legandary run and what are you comparing it to? The past Eagles teams? Well what does the lack of success of the Eagles in the 60's and 70's or 80's have to do with McNabb? If they had won the Super Bowl 3 times in the early 70's does that make Mcnabb less successful? Is Rothelisberger less of a success as a QB because the Steelers were more dominant in the 70's? One thing has nothing to do with another. Perhaps if mcNabb's teams had won a couple Super bowls you could try to make a case. But to me who really doesnt care either way about the Eagles the Donovan mcNabb era will be remembered for missed opportunity than any huge era of success.
