Most people saw Donovan McNabb get benched in his game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Many people are asking, why did Shanahan do this? Why did he pull out a guy who has attended the pro bowl 6 times? He has even taken his team to the NFC championship 5 times. Shanahan has suggested it is because he is not in the proper shape due to injuries or maybe even it is because his practice habits are awful. But the even more fascinating part of this story is that McNabb didn't lash back.McNabb has never fought back. Terrel Owens talked trash on McNabb and he didn't say anything. McNabb was traded by Andy Reid to rival Washington Redskins. McNabb just went. Why is it that this guys just keep taking these back lashings, but doesn't do anything about it.
One phrase kind of sums up how we feel about McNabb, he's just one of those guys people "Love to Hate". And why doesn't he try and come back and make verbal statement? Well for one I do think McNabb has always carried himself in a classy manor, but maybe he knows that their is truth to a lot of the opinions that are being spoken out about him. I mean common his passer rating is a 76.0. This is lower than Brian Cambell, Chad Henne, and Shaun Hill. He is notorious for being a terrible practice player, where he will make passes and everyone will just kind of shake their heads. And not being in shape, that is in your control.
McNabb is just one of those guys, that you kind of feel sorry for because people are always giving him a hard time, but you don't really want to say anything because the things being spoken are true.
