When you look at the two men, Mike's had "interpersonal issues" with far more players and coaches than McNabb ever did. Mike doesn't seem to get along with a lot of people, going through D coordinators in Denver like crazy and having past players dislike him strongly.
That said, it's not really clear what McNabb has in mind to say to RG3?? If it's about protecting himself from being a runner, I think RG2's comments got the point across. If it's about RG3 focusing on leadership over stardom, McNabb might be able to lend some wisdom. It's a valid concern. RG3 needs to spend as much time with his teammates as possible, hard to do that when you're jet-setting to celeb events everywhere.

Plenty of McNabb's teammates liked TO better as a teammate.
McNabb never dealt with his team and fans as well as RG3 already has. His comments about Griffin sound bitter and kinda... clueless? He also demonstrated how to be a bad passive-aggressive team mate while he was here. And McNabb trashed Shanahan about RG3 before RG3 arrived here.
It's too bad McNabb never had someone like RG3 to talk to, when McNabb was a rookie.
But to suggest McNabb has anything constructive to tell RG3, while he's criticizing RG3 now for things like Griffin's classy handling of the fans' wedding gifts, is a joke.
