Yeah, I'm sure that the first two awful games that the Eagles had didn't have anything to do with it right? [/QUOTE]Almost every quarterback to ever play in the NFL has lost two games in a row at some point, and most of the time it wasn't because of an ignorant coaching staff trying to make a scrambling QB a pocket QB. Would you say all quarterback in the NFL are overrated based on that point? Probably not. [/QUOTE]Did I say a thing about the Eagles
loseing? No I didn't. If I had wanted to say "Yeah, I'm sure that the Eagles loseing their first two games had nothing to do with it" then I would have, don't put words in my mouth. Winning a game, and the QB playing a good game arn't the same thing, look at last weeks Giants - New England game, the giants Collins outperformed Brady substantually in the first half, yet at the end of the half, New England was ahead. Or look at this weeks Giants - Eagles game, again Collins played a better game for the most part, but the Giants still lost. In the latter case, the Giants were done in by their special teams.
Anyway getting back to my point, I didn't say a thing about loseing, I said that the Eagles had awful games. In their first game of the regular season, the Eagles were 2-11 on third down coversions, averaged a little over 3 yards a pass, and had around a 50% pass completion rate. In their second game, they were 3-14 on third down coversions, again averaged a little over 3 yars a pass, and had a little over a 40% pass completion rate.
If you compare that to when McNabb actually looked like he knew how to play football, and you'll notice a huge difference.
