Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?

u should hear how people around here, his own fans... completely LIE to themselves and slam him as if he wasnt pretty good for them for 10 effin yeasrs.. smh most philly fans are a disgrace..

i never liked McNabb, never wanted him here, and as a die hard 21 year fan of the skins.... thats my fan given right... and hopefully thats not the 'petty grudge' u speak of.

I'd be lying if I didn't say that McNabb played well while he was in Philly.

HOWEVER, I really believe that he was basically a product of Andy Reid's QB friendly offense. Reid has made average guys look like super stars. Koy Detmer, A.J. Feely, Kevin Kolb all played very well in Reid's systems and looked like stars at times while filling in for the oft-injured McNabb.

Jeff Garcia was a star in his own right, as was Michael Vick.

But landing in Washington proved what McNabb was, IMO. An average QB who once his body gave out, could no longer be counted on to make plays and lead the offense. He had like one good game in Minnesota and even then he only threw for like one TD. McNabb was simply washed up when he arrived in washington, and totally shot when he was shipped to Minnesota. No other way to put it...

Well said...all around. McNabb was basically average, sometimes a little above and other times a little below, when many of us were hoping for something special.
