The guy was practically your entire offense when you went to those early NFC championship games because he was running and throwing. The guy can throw deep but he lacks the WR's to get open deep and he plays in Andy Reid's west coast offense. Funny but playing the west coast offense never got other great QB's criticized but somehow McNabb is marginalized for playing in it. I have no idea why he chose to remain in Philadelphia. If I was him, I would have left for a team with more weapons. THe fans in Philly are loyal but your owner is incredibly cheap. You should have won a Superbowl by now and it has a lot to do with him. Imagine if Philly instead of New England gave more than a 4th round pick for Randy Moss.
We do. It's just the loud minority that doesn't.

Who else would we hold responsible.
Yea, because head coaches who win super bowls in the first year grow on trees

New York is the ultimate what have you done for me recently sports city their is. Eli is far form being a hero in New York City, maybe getting closer but he is no hero yet. With all the chamiponships that New York has won your really going to put Eli up there with Babe Ruth, Joe Namath, Earl Monroe, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Lawerence Talyor, Phil Simms,etc... no way, maybe one day but not today!

Eli worshipped in New York yeah right!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!! thats pretty funny, after the loss last year to the Eagles in the playoffs, Eli took hell all over the newspapers and radio from fans, and hosts. He just won a superbowl for New York the previous season and people were saying he was very overated and couldn't throw the ball in the wind. You don't win one super bowl and now your a big star on Broadway and now your worshiped all over New York. Unless your Joe Namath who won the 1st Super Bowl for the Jets, and if the AFC didn't win that super bowl there would be no NFL as you know it, because the AFC owners would of pulled out of the league not being able to compete with the NFC since the Packers won the 1st 2 superbowl (GO JETS)!!!

New York is the toughest city to play for, there is no bigger or brighter lights than New York City, and the press will rip you a new one hear, they will follow you to the bathroom if they can dig up some dirt on you!!! Many great atheltes can't take the pressure palying in New York especially for the Yankees and implode or collapse. I do think Mcnabb is a good QB, but Mcnabb and Reid would of not lasted 11 seasons in New York. 5 NFC championships and 1 superbowl loss. Thats a looser in New York and you got to go!!!! Eric Mangini lasted 3 seasons had 2 winning seasons of the 3 years and he is gone. Tom Coughlin is no hero in New York and if he did not win the Super Bowl he would of been fired the following season. I lived in south jersey outside of philly for 16 years, and philly has not won many championships as a city in sports so you guys are more acceptable of failure down in philly. New York is the only city were a team and a player wins a championship and the next year the whole city turns on that player or team. ITS NOT STRANGE AT ALL ITS NEW YORK!!!!
I live in metro-NY and I can tell you 9/10 times I see someone wearing a Giants jersey, it's #10.

How about 52 years (Detroit Lions), 45 years (Cleveland Browns), 42 years
(New Orleans Saints) and 49 years (Houston Oilers/Texans)?

Where exactly does that sense of entitlement come from?

I was talking about sports in general, not just football. Detroit has had both its basketball and hockey teams win in recent years, and New Orleans and Houston fans don't even exist when the team isn't competetive. Cleveland's another story though. Sorry, I should be grateful my city is only the 2nd most sports deprived city in the country

The fact that Philadelphia is one of the oldest sports cities in the country, and that it has arguably the most loyal fan base of any city.
