I was reading this article on ESPN about pressuring the quarterback and there was a quick remark about McNabb doing well against pressure.
"There are those rare quarterbacks, like Aaron Rodgers, Donovan McNabb and Ben Roethlisberger, who produce well when under that kind of pressure, but the average stats tell the value of the hurry."
Everyone has been talking about how poor the offensive line will be, but at least there are some remarks about how McNabb performs under pressure.

Well we will certainly know soon enough. It's been said before, but the truth is we are looking at another horrible O-line. I've seen nothing that says this line is much better than last year...

I agree fully but do you think they will be immediate contributers? I figured they would learn for part of the season behind a veteran....

I agree, but the depth at this time is still a major issue with the Oline. Williams is gonna be good and a great upgrade, Hicks is an upgrade, but not much IMO.

Recently I did an event with someone who has been with the Eagles for decades. We talked about the McNabb deal and we both agreed it was a win-win for both teams since McNabb is a massive upgrade from Campbell.
Where we disagreed was this person with the Eagles felt that McNabb has in the past, and would probably continue to always choke in the big games.

We'll see if the choke artist was Reid or McNabb this year.

That's a fair question, but I do think that they contribute immediately. I think they both start the first game of the season. Would it be better for Williams to learn behind a veteran? Yeah. Do we have enough veterans that can hold down the fort at LT until Williams is ready? Nope. We all had to watch the nonsense offensive line that was out there last season.
Also, do I like asking questions and then immediately answering them? You betcha. lol

Just remember, I did disagree with him on the later part of the statement.
I keep thinking of the Steelers and Bill Cowher. They stuck with him, and he eventually got them the prize.

Hicks is quite the veteran.
