You can't use the hernia as an excuse...if the hernia was hindering his play to the extent that his numbers are worse than Plummers, he simply SHOULD NOT have been playing. <BR/><BR/>Huge ego.

When you consider that McNabb is currently in his prime, and that Roethlisberger has more maturing to do and therefore more upside potential, I would rather have him leading my team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245448.post-1134766348288273842005-12-16T15:52:00.000-05:002005-12-16T15:52:00.000-05:00Officially licensed BIG BEN Roethlisberger wall cl...Officially licensed BIG BEN Roethlisberger wall clock.

Sure, McNabb had 31 TDs last year, but in 2003 he only had 16....and, yes, he played in all 16 games. That's a little more Roethlisberger-like, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>You can spin the numbers any way you want, but the fact remains that McNabb just isn't THAT good. Like I said, he's MAYBE slightly above average. That's it. No deep end...just reality.Andrew Tavanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685645996478103394noreply@blogger.com
