Don McNabb: Making NFC championship not easy

[mastermind]

He doesn't have bad media relations here in Philly where he played most of his career. Guys like Ray Didinger and Sal Pal loved McNabb when he was here.

imo, he does

and not in the sense that he is seen as a pariah, but because he never won. He is looked at like a loser.

IMO, he should be a first ballot HOFer, but I feel they will hold the lack of titles against him.

For the life of me, i've never understood this weird hate Mcnabb gets.

he was not a starter anymore. stop it.

i'm sure an az fan would disagree

Luckily for him he plays in a town that's never won a Super Bowl, so no one can hold that against him. Bottom line, he's the best quarterback we've ever had, and he has plenty of good moments that outshine the bad. He won't get Dawkins-type support when the time comes to put him in Canton, but he'll get support nonetheless. Especially among the casual Eagles fans in the city, McNabb is beloved, and longtime Eagles beat writers like Ray Didinger and guys on the Inquirer beat always praised more than beat him down.

People try to treat our fanbase as a monolithic, pithy bunch, but there's a lot more reasonable fans here than the national media likes to portray. We're just quieter than the loud and crazy ones (that populate every major sports town).

I hope he gets in, but I really dont think he will be voted in by the media.
