[...] And the results are the best addition by subtraction since the Eagles cut over-rated quarterback Donovan McNab. [...]

You’re idiots if you think this was not racially inspired. Let’s assume McNabb is overrated. Take ANY other “overrated” quarterback out there and it’s simply that he’s overrated. With McNabb its because he’s black. Oh and the media has been “desirous” of seeing a black quarterback succeed. As if he would have been the first. Or was the only one at the time. Racist, he is. Ignorant, he is as well. Willing to face controversy he also is to his credit. Only I don’t know whether that is in sincerity or just for publicity’s sake.

I”VE LISTENED TO RUSH FOR OVER A DECADE, RACIST HE”S NOT, CONTROVERSIAL DEFINITELY. ACCURATE, SECOND TO NONE. IT”S A TRAGEDY THAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RULES THE DAY. SILENCING HIM OR ANY VOICE OF OPPOSITION CAN ONLY DEMEAN THE SPORT OF FOOTBALL AND ALL SPORTS INCLUDED. ALL RUSH IS SAYING IS THAT THE “EMPORER HAS NO CLOTHES”

I am a life long Eagles fan….born and raised in Philly. I have said for several years now that Donovan McNabb is at best a mediocre quaterback. His is known to choke when it’s on the line. Rush didn’t lie. Problem is Andy Reid refuses to bench him regardless of how bad he may be playing. And there are many games where another coach would have benched him.

Just because the NFL passed on Rush doesn’t mean Rush needs to pass on all sports.

The real moral of the story is that Rush knows football inside and out and is probably it’s biggest fan. It’s too bad that political over-correctiveness and the spread of rumors, lies and inuendo prevented Rush from being a part owner. But, you know that those incredible and morally upstanding members on the NFL billionaire boys club have to maintain their immaculate image (Vicks, Soros the Nazi collaborator as examples, along with those with gun,DUI,manslaughter, possession charges).

You’re absolutely right. I was watching that day, and after he said it I believe both Tom Jackson and Michael Irvin agreed with the statements at the time. I did as well because I’ve pretty much felt that way about Donovan McNabb forever. I did want to disagree with a little of what you said. I think Tom Jackson is right in his assessment that for the Eagles to be good McNabb has to be perfect. However what he didn’t say that he should have is that McNabb plays inconsistenly far too often which leads to the Eagles to inconsistency. Getting manhandled by the Raiders that badly is pathetic.

I live in Philadelphia, and have always known that Donovan McNabb is overrated. I knew Rush would get chewed to pieces when he made the comment, even though he was right. Actually, nearly all Eagles’ QBs (post Ron Jaworski, anyway) are overrated. There are a lot of issues with the team, as evidenced by the signing of Michael Vick. It’s all part of the Eagles’ Mystique.

After the afternoon games yesterday I flipped to ESPN to catch the scores and highlights.I switched to ESPN because I refuse to watch Olberman’s show on NBC.You know lesser evil and all that.

The usual guys were on discussing the Philli-Oakland game.Tom Jackson as usual came to McNabb’s defense.He claimed that the only quaterback in the NFL that had to be perfect in every game (because the rest of the team is so unreliable) is McNabb.So not only must McNabb be protected but the rest of his team must be thrown under the bus in the process.

I mention this because Rush’s statements in 2003 were not considered inflammatory by the panel which was discussing the subject.It wasn’t until later,the next day I believe,that his statement was decried as racist by none other than Tom Jackson.
