Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?

As for your 2nd point I don't get it

Unless McNabb has financial issues (which im nearly certain he doesnt, as he was smart w his money) he ‘s right not have any interest in being a backup. Its kind of sad though, considering if his last 2 years were at least average he probably would of had a shot at the HOF.

In regards to my second point i think McNabb was smart to say what he said. McNabb has usually always said the right thing. Never really bad mouthed anyone but stayed confident in himself at the same time. In a way he reminds me a little of Teddy Bruschi, although Bruschi is a generally likable guy with a lot of personality, while McNabb often comes across bland and un-emotional. But they are both “stand up guys” and never seem to strongly take sides. Well as likable as Teddy is, he is pretty bad as an ESPN analyst, he never says something compelling. McNabb also rarely says anything compelling, but unfortunately he’s also not all that personable.

Furthermore a lot of people agree with what McNabb said. Sure McNabb said it primarly in defense of himself, but he also said it out of concern for Griffin. Wilbon and Kornhieser, both of whom I cant stand but can make compelling arguments and are successful despite any prior athleticism or good looks, have echoed similar concerns with RGIII in DC. I know you are a big KS fan, and one day I hope to be too, but the thing that concerns me the most about getting Griffin (or Luck) is that Kyle might in effect “ruin” him by being inflexible in what he wants Griffin to do. Obviously I hope im wrong and Kyle coaches to his players strengths. Or maybe it wont matter if Kyle is un-compromising or not, because Griffin is as much of a perfect fit to Kyle’s offense as Chris Simms is to Kyle’s friendship. Either way I think it’s a reasonable conern.

I also think that considering how partial philly fans are to everything, anything McNabb can say that’s derogatory in any sense about the Redskins the better it is for his post career enshrinement with the eagles. If we had a qb like McNabb I would hope to have a continued relationship with him in his post playing career. Fans can dictate that relationship to some extent.
