Unappreciated at times and ultimately traded out of Philly before having a one-year detour to D.C. go about as badly as it could have, new Vikings quarterback Donovan McNabb arrives in Minnesota sans shoulder chip.
āIāve moved past that whole āsomething to proveā deal,ā McNabb told the media, via a transcript circulated by the team. āFor me, itās about going out there, being who I am and doing what I do. Thatās what Leslie [Frazier] wants and thatās what the team wants with expectations of me being the guy theyāve seen over the years in trying to lead this team. Any time you get into that chip on the shoulder, trying to prove that I can do this and I can do that, it takes away from what youāre capable of doing and who you are as a player, as well as a person. Iāve been through that and Iām not going there anymore.ā
