Re: Donovan McNabb: The New Face of The Redskins

McNabb will always be tied to Philly. But a Super Bowl win as a Redskin would definitely make his time here very notable.

Re: Donovan McNabb: The New Face of The Redskins

[quote=SmootSmack;684088]Interesting. So Reggie White who spent more years in Philly than the Packers is a Packer...yet you wouldn't consider McNabb a Redskin?[/quote]

White hated the Eagles front office, so much so that he was one of the players that sued the NFL for free agency. With the kind of animosity between White and the Eagles I'm inclined to say he is a Packer.

5 years with the Skins and a SB could give McNabb some Skins creds but until then we should tame our excitement about him.

[quote=saden1;684098]With the way Jackson was gushing over the Saints win and the fact that he watched the SB from Saints owner Tom Benson's box it's a no brainer who is his team. [B]Football HoF is not like baseball[/B], I'll admit that but lets not act like players and fans don't assign teams to themselves/them.[/quote]

That is all you had to say.

Re: Donovan McNabb: The New Face of The Redskins

For the Redskins fans that don't live in the Philly metro area. I've be a 'skins fan since Sonny was the QB. Living in the Philly area, I have been forced to watch the Eagles games because it's the only game in town. I have watched every game McNabb has played and he is not the "Superstar" the rest of the country thinks he is. They only show you his good plays, which is about two out of 10 passes. His other passes are either over the WR's head or bouncing at their feet or very short passes the WRs turn into big gains. His five yard dump offs to Westbrook that turn into 50 yard TDs make him look great in the media. He is one of the biggest hot dogs in the league and believes people when they tell him he's great. He was the self appointed "captain" of the ship in Philly. Yeah, I also had to watch the post game show where he pleasured himself. He sucked when he was in his prime and now he is an over the hill QB who is comparing himself to John Elway and Brett Favre!!! Do you believe this guy? Do you know why the Eagles gave him to the 'skins, a division rival? Because they are not afraid of him, they know he sucks and is washed up! Ole' Danny means well, but he is becoming another Al Davis by taking washed up players. It all started with Bruce Smith and it continues to this day! Look at how many bums he has brought in! At least he is willing to spend his money improving team. Not like that fag Jeffery Laurie in Philly who is afraid to open his purse. That's why the Eagles lost a lot of good players over the years. Just a warning, the 'skins made a bad move taking McChoke as we call him around here! Wait and see! You'll be sooorrrrryyyy!

He might have been a hated rival in the very recent past, but he's already on his way to becoming the face of the franchise.
Comn' Matty go for it!

That you, Jimmy Claussen? Bitter over dropping in the draft and losing a good gig to McNabb?

Re: Donovan McNabb: The New Face of The Redskins

I'm a lifelong diehard Redskins fan, who grew up and has mostly lived in the Greater Philly area and I love it here. I also have watched a ton of McNabbs games and I have been an apologist for him, against eagle fans for 11 years.

I can not wait to see D Mac win games and hopefully a superbowl as a Washington Redskin. I'm sure the excuses are already flowing.

LOL! I was trying to think what bitter player may have come on here and wrote this. that was perfect especially since he used the Panthers logo.

Re: Donovan McNabb: The New Face of The Redskins

We're lucky to get DM; I don't know what the Iggles were thinking. And we could've had much more if Coach Gibbs and Vinny from Notre Dame hadn't thrown away so many of our draft choices away. What a waste! Plus I still can't get over the fact that we sent Champ Bailey PLUS a #2 draft choice for a big mouth running back. Champ is a future hall of famer. Oh well, over the last couple of months I've learned that CP is smarter than Haynesburger. CP knew he better come to the non-mandatory OTA's. Haynesburger still hasn't learned that he's not the coach.

Re: Donovan McNabb: The New Face of The Redskins

Nice post 44ever.

My favorite line in that rambling post you referred to was "I have watched every game McNabb has played and he is not the "Superstar" the rest of the country thinks he is. They only show you his good plays, which is about two out of 10 passes."

As if all those national Philly games we've all seen were somehow edited down for all us outside of Philly so all we saw was a McNabb highlight reel

Re: Donovan McNabb: The New Face of The Redskins

nice stats, though prepare for someone to mention that the dated ones are from 5 years ago and older.. also having watched him a bit, though not as much as others, just because I love divisional football.. he's not perfect, does make some of the mistakes we've hated others for (balls at the feet, etc) he's a very smart QB and has lead a team for years, through thick and thin

something tells me that his only good games weren't just the ones that I watched
