[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 183553, member: 288"] Poor poor me.. to me, this is one of McNabb's shortcommings.. if you want to be the leader of the team, put it on your shoulders.. IMO. If the Vikings go out and get this guy.. I personally will rejoice.. wants to be a leader when things are good.. but not when they are going south. [url]http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=14379[/url] McNabb: We've Got To Pull Together Donovan McNabb didn't look defiant when he took the podium for his weekly press conference. Frustrated, yes, but not defiant. Nevertheless, he had an emphatic message for anyone calling for his head after the Eagles' rough first half of the season. [color=lime]"It's easy to blame the quarterback when the team loses, but I'm definitely not the whole reason why we lost these games," McNabb said. "I can definitely help - yes I can - but I (shouldn't get the full) blame for everything that goes on around here."[/color] McNabb's comments came two days after Eagles head coach Andy Reid was pressed repeatedly by reporters to discuss the status of his quarterback. With the team off to its worst start since 1999, some wondered whether Reid planned on sticking with McNabb for the rest of the season. "That's where I'm looking at things," Reid said Monday. "Again, nothing is guaranteed in things. That's how I'm looking at it, yes." Wednesday, McNabb answered a question regarding Reid's remark. McNabb said that while he feels he receives an undue amount of criticism when the team plays poorly, he does not let outside criticism change the way he approaches his job. "If people continue to talk about it, if they feel like it's helping them vent and get some stuff of their chest, that's great," he said. "But when I'm in this building, I'm prepared to be the guy who can go out there and help us win games." In Sunday's 38-17 loss to the Cowboys, McNabb finished 27 of 46 for 264 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Numbers aside, much of the discontent with his performance centered around a pair of first half turnovers that the Cowboys converted into 14 points McNabb fumbled on the game's first play from scrimmage after he was hit from behind by Marcus Spears while stepping up in the pocket, and threw an interception to Dallas safety Ken Hamlin that gave the Cowboys the ball on the Philadelphia 14-yard line in the waning moments of the second quarter. It was not the best performance of the McNabb's career, but his 86.3 quarterback rating this season still ranks a respectable 13th in the league, and compares favorably with his 85.3 rating for his career. Nevertheless, McNabb has taken the lion's share of the blame for the struggles of Philadelphia's offense, a fact he said did not bother him. "It doesn't bother me at all, in the situation that we are in, obviously the guy who gets criticized the most and the guy who may not get the most credit for what goes on is the quarterback," McNabb said. "But my job is to make sure that I'm prepared at all times to get ready to step out on the field and make plays." [/QUOTE]
