The former Eagle,Redskin, and Vikings Qb put up huge numbers in his thirteen year career. Throwing for 37,276 yds and 234 tds, while rushing for 3459 yds
and 29 tds! These numbers may be huge but they do not tell the whole story of the flawed McNabb who failed to live up to his full potential. Lack of work ethic plagued McNabb throughout his career and eventually
coupled with his physical decline led to
him being traded to the Redskins. Part
of the case against McNabb going to
The Hall of Fame has been well illustrated by his quick dismissal from
the Redskins and Vikings. McNabb has been working hard at further tarnishing his legacy in recent days. He has come off as a petty guy with an axe to grind in his scathing remarks bashing both Shannahans and the Redskins organization. From the perspective of this Redskin fan McNabb has been a
big disappointment.The Redskins gave up a high second round draft pick in 2010 and a fourth round pick in 2011.
McNabb was given a chance to excell
but refused to put in the time and effort. He also felt he was too good to be taught anything and refused to wear a wrist band with the plays listed.At one point in the season McNabb even tried to paint Shannahan as a rascist.
As a fan it is very frustrating to see
a player with McNabb's potential get paid a huge contract only to have him fail and then blame everyone but himself. In the 2010 regular season as Qb for the Redskins McNabb's completion percentage was a paltry
58 percent.Throwing more interceptions 15 than touchdowns 14 McNabb was ironically pacing to break the Redskin record for passing yds in a sesaon when he was benched. The Redskins were vindicated however in their decision to bench McNabb when the Vikings similarly benched him in 2011 as well. After six games the Vikings led by McNabb were 1-5 and ready to let Christian Ponder get some experience
as their future Qb. The more that McNabb snipes at the Redskins the worse he looks and the closer his record will be scrutinized.
