I read today(i'm sorry i can't properly reference, like you i read too much 'skins literature), that he hasnt' played 16 complete games but once in the last 6 years. That's where my 16% came in. I think it's entirely likely he'll miss a game or two. He tends to play hurt, so it's not a big deal.

Other than his two injury plagued seasons in 2005 & 2006 he's been pretty durable. He's played in at least 14 games in 7 of his 11 seasons.

McNabb has long been a great player under pressure from the defense, but his style of absorbing their blows instead of moving around the pocket to find a comfortable throwing area means there's going to be a cumulative effect on his body over time.

Missing 4 games in 3 years shouldn't be flaunted around as a positive. We see guys effortlessly string five full seasons together at the QB position. Kurt Warner lost just one game to injury in the last three seasons, and that was with a concussion. Romo has missed just three games in four years as Cowboys starter. Eli Manning has never missed a start.
