Its too much right now; its just too much, McNabb said in a candid interview with The Washington Post. I get some of things hes doing to draw attention to himself: the Adidas commercials, going out and enjoying the life of a young, famous NFL quarterback. I understand RG has a lot of stuff going on.
But if youre coming off (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery, you dont need to be having a press conference at (organized team activities). Every week? Really? It becomes a circus, a sideshow. It takes away from the focus of what those sessions are supposed to be about: the team.
So when I look up on TV and see him up there talking all the time about how great hes doing or doing jumping jacks or someone else talking about his supernatural healing powers I wonder to myself: Is this about selling tickets to the fans or what?
I dont blame him. Theyre letting him do it. But at some point, it can be counterproductive. You can set yourself up for more criticism later.
Especially if Robert doesnt play at first or isnt right for the first eight weeks and it takes a while for him to become the player he was, McNabb said. So what if you start 2-6 or 3-5? Then everybody wonders what happened, starts thinking, But wait, you told us he was great a few months ago. He told us he was great.
