Exactly--Mcnabb had nothing to do with any of it. Since when do quarterbacks get credit for their team's success? Let's conveniently give all the credit to his defense, which evidently stayed exactly the same during all of those wins. Oh wait--the defense underwent changes due to free agency/trades/retirements, etc? But yet Mcnabb's Eagles still won?
Well then, it's our duty as true patriots to come up with another reason that the media contrived all of these accomplishments for Mcnabb.
Let's see--who was their kicker?
Anything to discredit someone simply because of the color of his skin, huh?
Pathetic

Can you explain how someone can win 5 NFC Championships, but only go to One Super Bowl? Just wondering.

looking back maybe he was right
At the time of the comment McNabb had 3 NFC title game appearances and zero Super Bowl appearances.........so he added 2 and 1 to his totals........maybe Rush kept the fire burning under McNabb's Chunky Soup-eatin' posterior!!
Here's part of what Rush said:
"The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
I read that now and think of certain U.S. president that the media wants to see do well..........and I think McNabb has far better credentials at what he does than the prez has in his domain.

This is priceless....Did I mention the color of his skin, EVER ?
I think he is a very good QB, very good! IRONICALLY ENOUGH, you have illustrated the point quite well that RUSH LIMBAUGH made... Because of the color of his skin SOME people have cheerleaded this guy. I can like him or dislike him, but it has nothing to do with the color of his skin.
I never said the Defense is the ONLY reason the Eagles accomplished what they accomplished... however you are saying that it was all MCNABB?
Seriously ? A Future hall of Fame Defensive COORDINATOR is something you may not want to overlook in the equation there bud!

Let me just say that it was not our decision to have Rush Limbaugh on this show. I have seen replay after replay of Rush's comments with my face attached, as well as that of my colleagues. Comments that made us uncomfortable at the time, although the depth and insensitive nature of which weren't fully felt until it seemed too late to reply. Rush Limbaugh is known for the divisive nature of his rhetoric. He creates controversy, and what he said on this show is the same type of thing that he has said on radio for years...Rush was brought here to talk football, and he broke that trust. Rush told us that the social commentary for which he is so well known would not cross over to our show, and that instead, he would represent the viewpoint of the intelligent, passionate fan. We know of few fans, passionate or otherwise, who see Donovan McNabb, a three-time Pro Bowler with two NFC Championship Game appearances, being somehow artificially hyped because of the color of his skin. The fact that Donovan McNabb's skin color was brought up at all was wrong—especially in the context of the brotherhood that we feel we have on this show...Rush Limbaugh was not a fit for 'NFL Countdown.'
On the September 10, 2006 edition of Sunday NFL Countdown, he asked Michael Irvin "Are you retarded?" when Irvin said something about the Mannings that Jackson disagreed with.
