Donovan McNabb: got payed and killed worms.

I just wanted to write a quick post about the bs Donavan McNabb was throwing around on Thursday's "First Take". First, let's look at what he said. When asked whether Baylor QB and likely #2 pick in this year's draft Robert Griffin III would thrive under Mike Shanahan's leadership McNabb responded with this:"No. I say. that because a lot of times, ego gets too involved when it comes to being in Washington." In response to that I will say this, the only ego that seemed to get in the way in Washington while McNabb was in Washington was McNabb's. The coaches tried time and again to make him successfull and McNabb responded by looking like a scared 40 year old qb who, when he could get the ball out in time, mostly threw in to the ground. Admittedly, the Skins did not have the talent to help McNabb win, but I think Minnesota proved last year that most teams don't and won't have enough talent to make McNabb a winner. Most of the time you look for a qb who can improve his team mates, which is what the Redskins are looking to do with the draft of RGIII, but with McNabb there are always excuses for his shortcomings and most of the time it is his team mates or, like in the case, his coaches getting thrown under the bus. McNabb came from a fairly similar system in Philadelphia and just couldn't produce in Washington. I am not sure what else the coaches can do to help a QB other than give them the plays and let them play. McNabb got every chance to prove himself in
Washington and just couldn't do it. When he arrived in Washington I was one of the suckers who but a jersey and imagined McNabb bringing glory back to D.C. I should have payed more attention to his time in Philly  and realized that no matter what the team does around him McNabb would never bring glory. In the end he is an old runnning qb who's arm is slightly better than Tebow's and now I am stuck with a jersey I couldn't give away and he is on tv blaming every one but him self for not being able win with a Hall of Fame coach. RGIII, if he lands with the Skins, will thrive under Shanahan because he is vastly more talented then McNabb ever was and no coach, no matter how big the ego, can hold that down. Hail!
