Rush Limbaugh was right! McNabb is overrated.



Now all the Eagles fans that loved McNabb and crucified Rush for his comments are in a feeding frenzy, falling all over themselves sayin McNabb was "never that good" and is a "choke artist".

Sorry you're wrong

Now all the Eagles fans that loved McNabb and crucified Rush for his comments are in a feeding frenzy, falling all over themselves sayin McNabb was "never that good" and is a "choke artist".

Any true fan of McNabb such as myself still believe in him. If you arent a fan, then dont speak for us. Some of us arent bandwagon jumpers. I've followed McNabb's carrer from college when he played here in Syracuse, I went to every game up at the Dome.



Rush is still a ******* for his racial comment. He should stick to popping pills and politics not sports. Thanks.

 

[Bill V]

Let me preface this by saying that this is coming from a person that most people who post on this board would classify as one of those out-in-left-field liberals...



On this subject, Rush was right. And he was unfairly crucified for a comment that was NOT racist.



For some reason, lots of people seemed to respond (and continue to do so) like Rush said that McNabb isn't any good, and it's because he's black. And if he had said that, I'd be calling for his head like everyone else. But that's not what he said. He said that McNabb isn't as good as some people make him out to be (which is true, when you consider that there are/were people out there who make/made McNabb out to be the second coming of Unitas, and although he's a good quarterback, he's not at THAT type of Hall of Fame level, at least at this point in his career), and he said that he thinks the reason some of those people think of him that way is because of their desire to see a black quarterback succeed. Which a) was stated as an opinion, which is what he was being paid to provide, and b) isn't really that controversial of an opinion--just as there are racist people out there who dislike McNabb and other black athletes, and want to see them fail just because they're not white, there are also racist people out there who love McNabb and want to see him and other black athletes succeed only for that very same reason.

My like of Mcnabb has nothing to do with color, it has to do with what he showed while he was at Syracuse in college. He was and so far is the best qb that this school has seen in the last 40 yrs. The qb option was his best move, he could thorw, scramble.....play action, he did it all. Maybe I am in denile, but this years downfall also has to do with the injuries he has. I think he is still a great qb, much better then 90% of the guys out there who are playing at full health.

 

[Bill V]

Fmarano--understood and agreed. But the fact that you are a fan of his for the "right" reasons doesn't in any way make anything Rush said incorrect. There are fans of McNabb's who are fans just because he's black--and both the media and marketing people feed off of that fact. You simply aren't among that particular group of fans.

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Fmarano you are no doubt a McNabb fan from his Orangemen days.



I am neither a fan nor a critic. I am simply reporting what is going on with many of the local, fickle Eagles fans. I live outside of Philly and the local news and radio programs are VERY harsh and critical of McNabb right now. One talk radio program dusted of the audio of Rush Limbaugh's comments and had a call-in to see how many people NOW agreed, and there were MANY.



Oh, and as for your comment about McNabb playing injured than better than 90% of the QBs healthy, I might agree with you, but McNabb is getting the reputation as the QB that can't handle the pressure. He chokes under pressure, and he is not at his best under pressure. Case in point, last years Super Bowl. He didn't bring his A game, not even in B game. He came sick, with a fever, and many think his illnesses at times of clutch are psycho-sematic (sp?). That's the rep he is getting here in Philly (and elsewhere), and as an impartial, it seems well deserved.



Don't shoot the messenger.

i still dont agree with what Rush said. Why should color play a role in succeeding at all? There was no reason to say what he said, yes he can have his opinion on weather or not he is a good qb, that goes on everyday, but to pull the race card and come out with " People just want to see a black qb be sucessful"......... that is not only a slap in the face to McNabb himself who has worked just as hard or harder as any WHITE qb, but to the fans who really want to see him be good so he can bring to the team all of his talent.



I mean this was all debated when Rush first said the comment so we can go back and forth until we are blue in the face.



**********************the following is my opinion*************************



In my opinion, McNabb is more sucessful and more of a role model then Rush anyday. They both have faced hard times and it seems though Rush gave in to drugs......looks like the "black" qb succeded.....

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Rush simply said that it is very possible if not probable that the media is looking at McNabb with rose-colored glasses because the media and the sport WANTS a successful black QB.



Could he be right? Sure, he might very well be right.



Is he a racist for saying that ones race can and often does influence the way they are perceived and judged by others? NO! For that he is a realist.



If anything, Rush accused the media of being racist. And for it, he himself got labeled a racist.



You can dismiss the basis of Rush's comments because you think that McNabb really is as great as the hype. Such a belief in McNabb's skills would make Rush's comments moot. But, regardless of what you think of McNabb, if you were to divorce yourself from the emotion of the controversy, could Rush be correct? Could the media and the sport be judging McNabb on a curve because they want a successful black QB? I think that's quite probable.



Lastly, McNabb's performance at times and of late have people questioning the validity of the the hype, and that is why Rush's comments are once again topical.

[Frank Marano]

However, his performance at times and of late says he doesn't match the hype, and that is why Rush's comments are once again topical.

ok Rush said this, what last year? And then the Eagles with the NFC and make it to the Superbowl......no they didnt win but they made it....





McNabb is hurt this year, a YEAR LATER, with THREE injuries......and people are bringing this back to the table saying he isnt up to the hype?????....pathetic.



Take any qb, except Mike Vick in the NFL today and give them the same three injuries McNabb has.....and I bet that qb is sitting on the sidelines.

 

[Thomas Rogers]

I thought we could have an unemotional discussion about this topic, Fmarano, but clearly you put the FAN in FANatic.



As I said....McNabb is the most critically discussed Eagle after Owens right now here in the Philly area. He is gaining a reputation as the guy that gets sick and chokes under pressure, and people are coming out of the woodwork, even old fans from Syracuse area to say "he has always been that guy that chokes under pressure".



As I said, don't shoot the messenger.



Most fans are fair-weather in nature.



It's good to see you are a die hard fan. But, it is also okay to be critical.



McNabb lost the game last night.



I don't see it any other way.

[Frank Marano]

i was critical, i said we, i mean he, lost the superbowl, LOL







Yeah i might get a little overboard about him but I feel that he is doing what can do for the team. He just can't do it all himself.....

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Seemed he tossed that interception last night all by himself.

 

[Frank Marano]

roy williams is a nightmare to the eagles.....lol
