McNabb is expendable at this point. He has pretty much taken the Eagles as far as they are ever going to go. He choked in the big game a few years ago and with his injuries it has been all downhill from there. All he has to do is get that knee whacked really good and it could be all over for him. Option Qb's will never win a SB in my opinion, and McNabb IS overrated to boot.
I'd be thrilled if Jason Campbell played this year like Donovan McNabb did last year before he got hurt.
McNabb is still an elite QB, the main knock on him is injuries, which is a legitimate knock. But that only serves to strengthen the reasoning that Kolb was drafted primarily as an insurance policy, not as the team's future.

this is about the most ridiculous statement i have ever seen on this board. how would you feel if in the last 5 seasons the skins had made the nfc championship game 3 times and the super bowl once? had a qback that lead the league in passers rating 4 times? explain to me how mcnabb is over rated?

Who would you rather have huh? Tom Brady or Donovan McNabb. MCNabb is overrated period and will not ever wear a SB ring on his finger. The guy totally choked in the big dance. A totally developed young vet JC will have a better chance of winning the SB than MCNAbb ever will. Why? Because he is more of a pure passer than Donovan and seems to have more poise to boot. That being said I do like Donovan. I witnessed him in person totally destroy the Univ of Michigan football team in the Big House his senior year at Syracuse and loved him ever since, but I do think he has reached the zenith of his career already. Like I said in my previous post, one good hit below the waist the right way and his career might be toast. Just wait til we unleash both Sean and/or Landry on his ass. IF they whack him on the knee if imght be lights out on his career. His reputation was made by his mobility, but with him knowing one good hit will end everything, those days could be over.

I would feel like thay had wasted a lot of opportunities. I think that McNabb was overrated but now most people see him for what he is: A\a good athlete with play-making ability whose passing accuracy and decision making run hot and cold.

Decision-making runs cold???
The guy has NEVER thrown more than 13 INTs in a season. His career TD to INT ratio is more than 2 to 1. Last year in 10 games, he had only 6 INTs. His QB rating was 95. Even in 2005, when the Eagles were horrible, he had 9 INTs in nine games before shutting it down with the hernia.
Granted, he has days where everything he throws is low. But decision-making? He's one of the best ball-control QBs in the entire NFL.

McNabb never seems to get the credit he deserves for some reason.

You could argue that McNabb is the 3rd best QB (when healthy) in the NFL behind Brady and Manning.

I'd have no problem with that, when healthy he's top 5 at the very least.

Decent points except for the first line. I think we'd all rather have Brady. But I don't see how that makes McNabb overrated.
