No, that's called "McNabbing".
I don't understand that, because McNabb has, or at least had, a strong arm. His accuracy and decisions were just terrible. Maybe it's age catching up to him.
I need Advocate to corroborate, but his strong arm and accuracy issues were exactly what led to his uncanny ability to consistently somehow underthrow receivers doing out-routes and hit wide-open receivers. At least, that's what I remember of him during his (thankfully) short stint in Washington.
McRib > McNabb
Repeating what I've said before, a number of times, for many years now: I never liked McNabb. Not accurate enough for my tastes, and even beyond that, he was never the leader (or even a leader) in the locker room nor was he close to the most important component of his teams. The real backbone was Jim Johnson and his defense, and even then the Eagles' lauded run of success came in a historically weak NFC. Even then they only reached the Super Bowl the one time they did because they played the Michael Vick & Jim Mora-led Atlanta Falcons outdoors at the Linc in the NFC Championship Game.Quote:

Amen. Rush Limbaugh absolutely nailed McNabb with his analysis that he was only propped up because he was black. Vick then took his place, and now, finally, Cam Newton looks like he might actually deserve the hype, so we can stop lying about McNabb and Vick.
I'm not going to shit up the baseball thread by continuing that conversation there, but yes, I consider winning a championship in a decade to mean it's a worthy decade. Unless you mean to tell me that finishing first is also against your goals in sports. And there was nothing flukey about it. 1994 was the last year of no salary cap. Had there continued to be no salary cap the Cowboys and 49ers would have continued to buy free agents and win championships just like the Yankees and Red Sox.Quote:

I like Jason Garrett a little more today. This is a Jimmy Johnson move, and I respect it. You're a scrub, and you fumble two games in a row, including arguably costing the team the Patriots game? Good bye.
