The forgotten greatness of Donovan Mcnabb

[Originalman]

Nah you can't blame Beli. He switches his gameplan up based on his personnel. I don't think you can compare anyone to Andy is this regard. Not only was he determined to throw the ball all over the field with Donovan and subpar receiver but he would also turn into Mr. Conservative and run a super balanced offense whenever Donovan was hurt.

Yep and also from 2001 to 2004 or 2005 the Pats always were a power running team with offensive balance.

Andy was throwing the ball 60% before the rule changes where now you can't punish WRs and can even touch them.

The 2004 - 2005 season the eagles were the first team ever to throw the ball 64% of the time and go to the superbowl.

The year 2006 when McNabb blew his knee out the eagles played 10 games and had thrown the ball 70% of the time. That was with trash like Reggie brown as the number 1 WR.

McNabb was doing everything and i knew he would get hurt because he was basically being ran into the ground.

Little did I know he would run to the sideline vs the Titan and blow out his knee.

Also I think this was the season that his brother supposedly made a comment saying that the Eagles were setting him up to fail.

Remember the next year McNabb had a sideline conversation with Pam Oliver (supposedly McNabb thought it was between a brotha and sista just keeping it real with a black professional and off the record) that he believed that the Eagles were trying to trade him.

After the conversation Pam ran with the story and McNabb came to deny it.

What I meant by the bolded is that managed to win those early championships with the likes of David Patten and Givens as Brady's wide receivers. So, these "offensive genius" head coaches figured that they too could do the same with "system wide receivers". So far, it hasn't worked for Andy and Chip (it worked for us in 2009, though ).

You are correct in the statement that switches up his gameplan based on his personnel, unlike the others, which is why he has managed to sustain success.

The comparisons are that each of the "offensive genius" head coaches go about acquiring offensive "talent" in a similar way to , focusing more so on plug-and-play players to fit the system rather than true, legit talent.

Those WR are sorely underrated though. Sure they weren't Moss or TO but you never saw a big drop or Brady getting beat up because he couldn't find the open man. Also Beli is a great judge of talent. There is a difference between lowkey guys that no one really knows and guys who just plain suck. Philly usually had the later. Beli still went out and got Moss, took a flyer on Chad, and found Gronk and Hernandez. You see they just brought Bennet in despite already having a prime Gronk. He's not gonna bend over for talent but he's not just gonna pass on it for no reason either. Andy is just a fat idiot.

Took his team to the NFCCG 3-4 times in a row with trash receivers. Got TO and went to the Super Bowl. I remember that Pats TD where the corner had his thumb up his ass and let the WR leak out to the corner. They should never have scored. Then McNabb throwing up on the field; hope breh wasn't hitting the bottle back then

Yea, outside of TO for one year, McNabb didn't have a receiver as good as Troy Brown or Deon Branch or even David Givens and David Patten.

McNabb did have Westbrook tho, who was better than all those guys. But, I swear, every year around playoff time Westbrook would be either out or significantly hampered by injury. And all these Cac00ns would be like "what's wrong with McNabb....why can't he win when it matters?"

His best weapon is gone, you jackasses

I swear after McNabb went to his 4th NFC championship people assumed he was a lock for the HOF(Not 1st ballot, but still)

Its wild how much those non Eagles years messed up his HOF chances imo.

Lowkey...the Russell Wilson Bronco's year has now had people shifting from Russ being a 1st ballot HOF to just an eventual HOF. Its crazy..

I think McNabb is one of the most underrated QBs of all time. He made the receivers around him better. It just sucks he couldn't win a SB but I still think he is a borderline HOF player.
