My sentiments exactly. On talk radio, they complain all day about McNabb in interviews and how he's disingenuous with the media, his casual/joking nature on the sidelines even when losing, and how he always seems to shift blame from himself.
Talk about losing sight of what's important. They don't talk about how Desean scored 8 TDs of 50 yards or more last year, McNabb's deep ball might have just a little to do with that. (And you can't tell me Desean's skill set is any different than Santana Moss's, by the way.) They don't talk about the numbers McNabb put up despite having a miserable WR corps for most of his career (yes they're buoyed by screens, but also buoyed by his accuracy down the field). They don't talk about how he did all this despite other teams knowing he'd be dropping back to pass 70% of the time. And they don't talk about how his tendency to miss low is actually an asset when it comes to avoiding INTs. I'd much rather have a guy missing low than sailing them high, worms can't make interceptions.
