McNabb's Got Some Gripes With the Eagles

It looks like Donovan McNabb was the only person in Philly not to catch Eagles Jeff Garcia Fever during the team's late-season run.

Citing the ubiquitous unnamed sources, the Trenton Times reported that, "McNabb is unhappy with several things that have happened with the Eagles since his season ended with a torn ACL in his right knee." Allegedly, McNabb's gripes include:

  • Being unhappy that Eagles coach Andy Reid didn't allow him to travel with the team to New Orleans for the team's playoff game against the Saints;
  • Getting the feeling that some with the Eagles might prefer Garcia as the team's starting quarterback after Garcia led Philadelphia to the playoffs and a postseason victory after McNabb's injury;
  • Being unhappy with how his mother has been portrayed in the media and by Eagles fans for comments on her blog on his Web site.

If the question is whether McNabb should start over Garcia once his knee is completely healthy then, well, that's a no-brainer. Sure, Garcia posted a 6-1 record down the stretch, but he also laid a few eggs along the way. And let's not forget that he didn't exactly set the world on fire in Cleveland and Detroit the last two seasons. And by "set the world on fire," I mean, "at least make the teams competitive, like by winning more than six games."
