NFC - Philadelphia Eagles
Donovan McNabb
Many believe his days in Philly are numbered. A great (and healthy) season could change that.
There’s a monumental difference between a healthy Donovan McNabb and an unhealthy Donovan McNabb.
One’s a playmaker and the other is not.
McNabb posted some admirable numbers coming off ACL surgery last year.
He averaged just over seven yards per pass attempt, tossed 19 touchdowns and threw only seven interceptions.
However, his two most revealing statistics were his two most uninspiring: a 61.5 completion percentage and 44 sacks taken.
The idea that McNabb is a running quarterback has long been deceptive.
Over his first four seasons as a fulltime starter, he averaged 4.7 rushing attempts for just over 33 yards per contest. However, in his last four seasons, he has attempted an average of just 3.1 runs per game for roughly 15 yards on the ground.
That said, McNabb’s game is predicated on him being mobile enough to bide time in the pocket and make sandlot plays.
When he’s thinking a lot is when you’ll see some of the strange incorrect throws that he spits out every so often.
