If the above statement were true, then I would have to conclude that the majority of Eagles fans who wish to have Donovan McNabb benched are idiots. If you people who hate on #5 have anything to be thankful about this Thanksgiving, it should be that you were blessed to have on your team, one of the most revered and dominant QBs to play in the NFL in the past 25 years. In his 10^th season as lead Bird, D-Nice still throws nearly 32 times a game to horrendous receivers, and until recently, puts up jaw dropping numbers. What we as true Eagle fans should be doing is orchestrating a coup to overthrow the Eagles front office and management. I, along with hopefully some of you, have been kicking and screaming for the front office goons to sign a #1 wide receiver (or at least a #2) since the beginning of the season. If you as a reasonable, logical and rational Eagles fan can’t see how the absence of a #1 wide receiver is the single most destructive variable in the Eagles demise over the past 4 years, then you are nothing short of delusional. In 2004, with the help of just one big time wide-out (who will remain anonymous) McNabb was able to pass for more than 30 TDs on nearly 4,000 yds passing with a ridiculous passer rating of 104.7. Both Donovan and the anonymous wide out thrived and put up career numbers since both were the key ingredients in catalyzing the infamous Eagles heavily pass oriented west coast offense we still use to this day.

So you see my friends, the problem does not lie with our franchise QB, it lies with the front office final decision makers. I am insulted that Donovan McNabb was benched last Sunday, I’m insulted that my friend, colleague, and co-owner of this site wrote some anti-McNabb article and then went ahead and posted it, and most of all I’m insulted that the front office of my team stands steadfast to their commitment to sign players like Greg Lewis year after year, while shutting the door on available #1 receivers. I don’t buy the, “We offered him a contract” excuse anymore when I know for a fact that we can offer/buy any receiver with the shat-load of money the Eagles can currently allocate.
