Super 5

Maybe with time, Eagles fans can get a better perspective on Donovan McNabb. And they should look at his 2007 stats to marvel at what he was able to accomplish one year removed from a torn ACL.

 

3^rd highest completion total of his career (291)

2^nd highest completion percentage (.615)

3^rd highest passing yardage total (3,324)

4^th highest TD passes (19)

 

I suppose it is a credit to McNabb’s abilities that everyone seems to hold him to a higher standard than all others. But Carson Palmer and certainly Daunte Culpeper didn’t post those kinds of stats in their first year back from reconstructive knee surgery. That people think McNabb is washed up cause he didn’t lead the league in every passing category or that the eagles didn’t make the playoffs is absurd. The numbers don’t lie. And keeping in mind that the second year of an ACL injury is the “real” year back, McNabb should be even better next year.
