I just saw where former Philly receiver Freddie "FredEx" Mitchell weighed in on the McNabb situation, saying that he agreed with Shanahan's decision.
Mitchell, another former eagles player who criticized McNabb's work ethic and practice habits while in Philadelphia, said that The eagles could have won the superbowl if McNabb wasn't so slow and lethargic directing the 2 minute offense in that game.
Here is a quote from the article:
“I respect both Coach Reid and Coach Shanahan - they have two total different coaching theories. I can only wonder what would have happened in the Super Bowl if Reid stepped up and said, ‘You know what? You're playing like [expletive], you're benched.' I don't know many coaches that have the balls to do that,” Mitchell said. “He was playing like [expletive] and he should have been benched. … And don't say he doesn't have a record of this; he did the same thing in every single championship game.”
