Foster... I didn't get a chance to respond in the other thread, but I disagree with your calling me wrong on this particular subject. :lol:
There is a quality that has been flawed from day one with McNabb.. ever since they booed him upon being drafted. He allows himself to listen to the complaints and tries directly to counter the criticism at all costs.
Runs to much... tried to morph into a pass first QB.
Isn't a leader... pushes his persona onto the team overly, butts heads with the most talented player he ever had on that offense. Granted TO is a butt head... but flaming the situation himself didn't help.
He is soft.. came back too early from his knee injury and basically sped up the slowing down process of his mobility and speed.
But those complaints were just the Philly media being the Philly media.. much like New York, unless you have been crowned like Jeter.. they are just waiting for you to fail so they can roast your nuts on the open flame.
Donovan's real problem, IMO, under all the talk is he has never been confident in himself. Always tries to be someone he is not instead of just being comfortable enough to tune the critics out.
Moving to Minnesota or Chicago isn't going to get the media to stop complaining, it would be toned down but it still will be there. And with that, Donovan would help either franchise, but wouldn't put them over the top.
For all the physical tools that guys has had.. it is his very own weak "backbone" that has worked against him.
He just doesn't have "it", IMO.
