Since I'm one of those McNabb dislikers, let me try and explain why.
It's basically an accumulated belief that he's insincere, a manipulator, an image-mongerer. I simply can't take anything he says as un-calculated. And I think he's a whiner. I just wouldn't trust him with a Weimar mark. He strikes me as insincere as a career politician, someone who says in public what he thinks will help his image most, while saying and doing exactly the opposite in private.
Now, be clear. I have no personal experience with him. I've never met the man, never talked with him or people who know and deal with him. And probably never will. So I have no basis save my own observational skills as a TV watcher and my "gut". I'm not saying he's all of these things in reality. I'm not saying he is any of these things in reality. I can't.
It's just what I feel.
Right or wrong, I "dislike" (I won't use the word "hate", but I do dislike) athletes who I perceive of low character, and among the character flaws I dislike most are those of image-mongering and general suckupery. And, right or wrong, that's the labels I put on McNabb.

I disagree.
I say he's a class act that has been through hell. I also agreed with Rush Limbaugh (at the time), and still do.
There's a dichotomy for you, lol
This fucker will beat us. He will have the game of his life against us. He may possibly suck against EVERYONE ELSE, but the fucker will beat US... when it MOST MATTERS- this is my personal, hellish destiny...
...And tell Jeremy to go tell those morons at PPO that their LINE IS AS SUCKY AS I SAID IT WOULD BE, and that is why they are FUCKED...not McNabb,
FIX YOUR LINE OR DIE, especially in the NFC North.
Christ, I get emotional about the complete stupidity of our RIVALS, lol
Donovan gets to go from one shit-box offensive line to the next, to the next, etc.
...And catches blame for all of it. I'm STILL not buying, sorry, AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM, but defend him, semi-intellectually.
