Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?

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.
