Donovan McNabb says something obvious, people overreact

I felt that it would be appropriate to talk about McNabb on my first post back. I am an Eagles fan, but not a blind or stupid one like most other people in the city of brotherly love. McNabb is my second favorite Eagle of all time (Cunningham being the first) and at this point in his career I am not sure how he puts up with all the crap from the media here and across the country. McNabb is an extremely smart guy who is not afraid to tell his side of the story and he isn't scared to say what's on his mind seeing that most intelligent people have opinions about the world around them. With that said McNabb is interrupting the extremely stimulating "Romo is having sex with a hot girl in Mexico, how could he do that!?!" conversation with an entry from his blog. Now you would think with a headline on ESPN news he said that he hates white people and he wants to punch kittens in the face. Nope he asked for more playmakers. Yep the evil quarterback asked for some better players to help him out, and now it's the cover story on philly.com.
Look McNabb is still one of the better quarterbacks in the league, and unfortuately injuries have derailed his career some. Without the injuries he would be a top 5 qb, and even while injured he is better than over half the quarterbacks in the league. We (as Eagles fans and NFL fans) have to separate ourselves from the tabloid hell sports have become and focus on what is going on, on the field.
