I certainly think McNabb's better than many Philly fans want to give him credit for being, but I certainly wouldn't suggest that they've been any luckier at the Quarterback position than we have. They just simply know how to have a consistently successful passing game even with a Quarterback who makes a bunch of mistakes.
There's nothing Philly has done with their passing productivity that we should be jealous of or that we couldn't have replicated with the QBs we've had the last five or six years and a similar philosophy/attention to detail. It's the system they have in place that makes it obvious to point out that Kolb will likely be more successful than McNabb...the Steve Young to McNabb's Montana, if you will.
I mean, on one hand you can laugh at the Philly fans who don't understand that not every quarterback in the league can go in and provide what McNabb has for a decade, but speaking from a Redskins fans prospective doesn't exactly lend itself to credibility here. There's a sizable minority of Redskins fans that would be completely dumbstruck by the results of any objective analysis of Jason Campbell's career. Only three quarterbacks drafted since 2005 have accrued more passing DYAR than Campbell: Rodgers, Ryan, and Cutler, and none of those guys are more than a half season or so ahead of him at this point.
McNabb's been very good for a long time, but if he's not the future there, now is as good a time as any to make the switch.
