"We Got a Senior Slump in Wentzylvania" *2020 Philadelphia Eagles Season Thread*
- Thread starter So UnThotful
- Start date
The difference was that for mcnabb he still had team success after this incident( where as TO really didn't). Even after blowing out his knee he came back and with an injured westbrook and with a rookie DeSean Jackson was able to play warners cardinals to damn near a draw in the NFC title game.
I would argue Mcnabbs career defining moment and was the epitome of how he was treated in Philly by the fans, media and the team was the benching in Baltimore. Where Andy really threw Mcnabb under the bus at half time. Kolb comes in throws pick after pick. Then Reed and Ray Lewis come out after the game saying Reid set Mcnabb up cause the eagles were running the same plays over and over again.
Reid gets heat in the national media and starts Mcnabb the next week on a Thursday night game vs the Cardinals and leads the eagles to a blow out win. The eagles would face the cardinals in the NFC championship that year.
As far as TO always remember that when he was traded to Philly he signed an extension. Folks around the league told him not to sign it because the eagles and the cheap ass owner lurie were known to be cheap and they would not renegotiate.
TO didn't want to listen and signed the extension thinking he would put up numbers that year and be able to renegotiate. He breaks his leg vs the cowboys and is ruled out the season. Now the word is TO believed that the eagles would tear up the contract and give him a new one because he came back early and performed on a broken leg in the superbowl.
The superbowl ends and TO still doesn't get his new contract. Which he blows up the next year about his contract.
TO just felt that by going at McNabb he could put pressure on Andy and Jeff. When that is asinine in itself. What black player then and even now could force a white owner to do anything in terms of giving up contracts? And this IMO is the punk move with TO and many of these players in the NFL who claim they are so big and bad. If you feel that you are wronged by the owner well call that white man out. Don't put it on your teammates.
See cause he wasn't gonna call Lurie out cause he knows the NFL ain't the NBA. His ass would have been out the league. All these players in the NFL are expendable...especially the black ones.
The big thing is TO agent fukked him in SF. He wanted to go to Philly cause he thought it could help him career wise. But then doubled down and signed a bad extension thinking that a known cheap organization would renegotiate. Which was silly cause Philly had proven with mcnabb that they didn't care if there was no talent on the offensive side. Just let mcnabb run around and make a play just like randall did years before. Then when he is old and broken down dump him and get another black QB to do the same...cough cough vick.

He also played against the NFC east the entire time. Ain't a lot of offensive juggernauts in that division for him to plan against the past five years.

iirc the beef started in the weeks leading up to the SB when someone asked Mcnabb if the team needed TO and TO didn't like the answer McNabb gave.
It wasn't McNabb responsibility to get TO paid but TO felt some way about McNabb not using his leverage to advocate for him. TO claimed McNabb did just that for Brian Westbrook. I honestly can't think of too many QBs going on record demanding their top WR being treated in some certain way, so even though it was logical for McNabb to want his weapons to be secured nobody actually does that. NFL is a business so it is what it is
I believe this was the real as well. If Nabbs got
paid I think it wouldn't have been an issue.
shyt tripped me out was ok you try to get pressure with 4 so you can have more in coverage. Cool. When the pressure didn’t get home tho we was still getting shredded with 7 in coverage
