Donovan McNabb has played (on and off, actually) for three NFL teams in the last three years. But despite going from Pro Bowler with the Eagles in 2009 to benched by the Redskins in 2010 to released (at his request) by the Vikings in 2011, McNabb is not ready to call it a career after 13 seasons. "I still have my mind on focused on football," the quarterback recently told KILT in Houston. "All I have been doing is just working out and just staying abreast with things. I have been doing some TV stuff in the meantime just to polish that up for future endeavors that I may step into when I am done. But the most important thing for me is to just stay involved and continue to perfect my craft and get better and better as I continue on." Given his 6-13 composite record in Washington and Minnesota, McNabb seems to realize he'll have to be backup moving forward or, at best, fight for another starting job, something he seems willing to do provided he gets a chance. "Obviously being a 35-year old quarterback and people want to look into your past of the last two years, they want to nitpick a couple of things," he said. "I just want an opportunity to compete, go into a team with a solid defense, run game and some weapons on the outside." McNabb said questions about his conditioning and work ethic in recent years "is all just garbage." Source: USAToday
You cannot knock what he did in the past, but he fell off the mountain top pretty quickly....sign as a backup.
Seriously. Saying that Limbaugh was right and that he's just a media darling is kind of ignorant and it makes me sad that this isn't the only board/podcast that I've heard this type of thing on. 5 led the Eagles without any help for many years. He rarely ever had the entire total package on offense and did really well with it. He had an awesome career but at this point needs to hang it up. Like I said before, if he had retired after 2009 he'd be a potential HOF QB. I think at this point there's no way he gets in and he needs to sign that 1 day and retire and get into coaching.
