Careful what you wish for
I admit that there have been several instances in which McNabb could have and should have played better than he did in the so-called "big games" (Carolina championship game and Tampa Bay divisional round game in 02' come to mind). But remember just one year ago when it was the defense who gave up that last score to beat the Eagles. Donovan had just thrown a bomb to Desean Jackson and set the birds up for victory. We are constantly reminded that Donovan blew his chunky soup during the Superbowl, Andy Reid had him throw the ball nearly 70 times! That is just horrible coaching. This town has very selective memory when it comes to McNabb'S career here, and he will not be easily replaced. Kevin Kolb is not Aaron Rodgers. I dont think he is Jeff Kemp or Brad Goebel either (both played in 1991 after Randall Cunningham was injured by Bryce Paup of the Green Bay Packers). Speaking of Randall, how come everyone loves him so much? Do you know how many big games he's won? ONE. One playoff win. Donovan...Seven!. Now I grant you that he should probably have a few more and he is not Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, Although Petyon sure looked a little like Donovan vs Tampa in the Superbowl this year didn't he? However after Randall got hurt and we were left with the Bubby Bristers and Ken O'briens of the world for over half a decade, lets think twice about kicking Donovan out the door just yet. Remember how long it took John Elway to win his first title? and then second. These Superbowl wins came with a change in Head coach which is really who should be getting pushed out the door...Not number 5. But that's a topic for another day.
