McNabb

Looks like I have been right all along above Donovan. He was a great player when he was young because he is was an incredible athlete when he was young. However, he has never been an accurate passer. Yes, he can throw the ball downfield but still he normally overthrows the ball. He was terrible as a west coast offense quarterback because he just cannot accurately throw short balls. The west coast offense only works if the wide receivers can catch and run with the ball. People always said that he never had good receivers to work with in Philly but the great thing about the west coast offense is that you do not need good receivers. All you have to do is put the ball on the money because the passes are short enough that the pressure cannot get to the QB and the defense cannot play that close to the line on the WR without risking giving up the deep ball on a double move. The only reason we had success with Donovan was because our defense was incredible and he was athletic enough to make some superhuman plays every game and put enough points on the board to get wins. I always thought we had more success when our backups were playing; Feeley, Detmer and Garcia. Reid was simply too stubborn to admit that his first draft pick was not the best choice and stayed with him all those years. I give Andy credit though he finally made the best move by drafting Kolb. He gave him time to develop and Kolb is a great west coast offense quarterback. If it weren't for Vick playing like the best player in the league this year Kolb would be playing great. Although it is a very valuable asset to be sitting on the sideline I feel that we should hold onto Kolb rather than trade him because Vick takes too many hits, we need Kolb to be ready to step in if Vick goes down. Now the Skins are benching McNabb because they realized his best years are behind him. They also realized that with MnNabb you will never convert on third down because his favorite thing to do on the football field is throw the ball two yards short of the marker on third down. His agent said he is being disrespected but he really is getting what he deserves, to sit on the bench. His best years are past him and he has had too many injuries and his athleticism is not what it used to be. His throwing on the other hand is the same, the reason he needs to sit down. -BUzzy
