We booed then, We boo now.


Its time to cut Donovan Mcnabb some slack people. Here is why:

1: Remember booing him in the 1999 draft because we wanted Ricky Willams? That would of been great to have our franchise player hitting the bong in the middle of the huddle.

2: In his first full season as an Eagle in 2000 Donovan Mcnabb finished second in the Associated Press MVP voting (24-11) to St. Louis RB Marshall Faulk. Ohh yeah Marshall just had his number retired and is a future hall of famer.

3: You know what I can sit here and write this all out and say what a great QB he is but that is just my opinion. However Stats don't lie so here you go:

Rushing Totals

  • 447 attempts 2726 yards 6.1 average 24 TDS Regular Season, 63 attempts 362 yards 5.8 average, 3 TDS Playoffs
  • WOW HE MIGHT EVEN HAVE RUSHED MORE THAN RICKY "BONG RIP" WILLIAMS*
  • (*now taking resumes for stat intern)
Before McNabb came to Philly we were nothing, no chance for playoffs, the idea of making it to the BIG GAME was unheard of. Ok so he has been hurt, but you try coming back after major knee surgery. So before you start hating on number 5, think about all those great times we had watching him take us to the playoffs every year. So next year will be judgment day in my opinion and I think he will be fully healthy and with a little help with a true number 1 wide reciever and a tight end there is no doubt that we will be back on top of the NFC east.
