Well, right, but how much of that is because the Philly defense manages to be great every year.

If McNabb had a below .500 win percentage, but was the exact same quarterback, would people still say he was good? I really don't think they would, though certainly, I could be wrong.

Winning cures everything. I mean last year during the first half of the season we had similar offensive issues, but no one was talking much about them b/c we were winning.

I just think it's time for us to turn the page on JC. He's never had great players around him and probably never will here. But McNabb has never had great wr's either. When I see Todd Collins come off the bench and outplay JC that was one thing. But when hear guys that watch the coaches tape all say the same things I've been wondering, I think it's JC that's the problem....doesn't get the ball out on time, sloppy footwork, inaccurate, ball security issues, locks in on one wr...... I like the guy and I hope it works out for him but I just think it's time to move on.
Well he's had Westbrook, who up until recently was a game-changing playmaker for the Eagles. I just don't think we've ever had a player like that in our team.

None of that matters, at least to me. The only thing that matters to me is having a winning team. McNabb is a winner. Campbell is a loser. If he was so great then he'd not have been trade bait.

No matter what, he's done just like this season. He's shell shocked. There are only two more important games for me. The rest is a throw away season. If anything, I'd rather have the #1 draft pick.

Well if that was all that mattered, you'd just root for Philly. Problem solved.

It's because other things -- like a sense of loyalty -- matter that we put up with an organization we know to be inferior. Of course, you also have to consider that one of the reasons we don't win as much as they do is because we are much slower to plug the non-quarterback holes in our roster.

You don't have to make the assumption that Campbell and McNabb are equal players to see the similarities. I'm certainly not making that assumption, but a lot of the Campbell criticisms apply to McNabb as well.
