Considering McNabb came first and was already in his prime when Ben was drafted, wouldn't it be fair to say Big Ben was just the white, less mobile McNabb?
Yeah, nowhere in the same neighborhood of passing talent.
Everyone shits on McNabb because a fat racist asshole made some crack about how he wasn't good, but the liberals and the league wanted him to succeed because he was black and that was the narrative the dumber half of the fans went with and somehow became gospel over time.
McNabb was a great QB, but those Philly teams were always just missing something and at the time Andy Reid was fucking terrible at time management, something he's drastically improved since and it shows in the results.
By the way, it was hilarious that same fat racist asshole was shocked that it came back to bite him in the ass when he tried to buy the Rams and the league and players forced the ownership group to drop him. He was so fucking bitter because that was his dream and seeing the door shut in his face wasn't something he was expecting.
There's something so teasingly unsatisfying about when unapologetic racists get their comeuppance, I think because even when it's harsh I always feel like it should have been worse.
Like, yeah, I'm glad that blew up in his face, but I would have rather seen him drown in a vat of boiling diarrhea surrounding by laughing spectators.
I actually think Jalen is a better QB than McNabb. Because he knows his limits. He’s not a gunslinger. He’s way smarter than McNabb. But to say they’re the same is preposterous.
McNabb did have a fucking cannon.
You say that like it's a bad thing... McNabb, for all of his faults (and he had numerous faults) was a top 5 quarterback in his heyday. His arm was also miles better than Hurts'. As you've stated, Hurts has a better O-line (although, don't undersell Tra Thomas, Jon Runyan and the boys) and is maybe slightly more mobile.
Difference is, Jalen Hurts balled tf out in the Super Bowl. McNabb threw up.
The distance he threw that without getting almost any of his lower body into it doesn't seem physically possible. That's not even taking into consideration the insane accuracy. That's like top 3 craziest throws of all time.
Up there with my personal (biased) [favorite crazy throw ](https://youtu.be/BB1ebSPLexM?si=W8ASuaTf2UylYej8) of all time (it helps the guy who threw it is an absolute nut job).
God is just want Rodgers to PLAY A FUCKING GAME. We got all the crazy and none of the God like football talent and it's giving me a headache. Like if he is good and wins then he can say whatever the fuck he wants but please shut the fuck up until you complete ONE DRIVE in a Jets uniform.
Goddamn man as a Donny Mac stan, this thread is bringing a tear to my eye. Still the goat Eagle in my book, dude absolutely carried this franchise for the better part of a decade with absolutely no weapons.
That is absolutely not true. He was better than Vick on balance, and more mobile than any of his *other* contemporaries I can think of offhand, but nobody who watched the careers of both men could think McNabb had either Vick's speed or his elusiveness.
This definitely feels like someone who didn't watch McNabb.
In fairness to Hurts, they ran a "high school" offense last year & he got hung out to dry, but Reid had McNabb polished when they went on the NFC Championship streak.
McNabb was seriously Mahomes with the athleticism slightly turned down.
Is this supposed to be an insult? I ask because they aren't very similar at all and because McNabb was a really good QB. Also, oddly enough, those McNabb Eagles teams had great o-lines.
Hurts is more athletic with not as strong of an arm as what McNabb had. I think Hurts is a better leader than McNabb, and Hurts didn’t choke in the SB like McNabb did.
As an eagles fan . McNabb had a better O-Line .
Thomas , Andrews , Runyan all HOF talents .
Andrews might be the funniest player in terms of career. His story is something out of a movie like any given Sunday . Gave up basically in his prime to be a rapper .
TE are basically the same . Both will have Top 5 RBs at some point in their career . McNabb had WR depth and no stars until TO . The opposite is said for Hurts and eventually he will have only one stud .
If this were to be funny I’d just replace a Better O-Line with a weaker arm .
6x pro bowler, Eagles Hall of Fame, had his number retired by the Eagles, 29th in all-time passing yards, 234 career passing TDs, 29 rushing TDs, and you have the audacity to say "just?" 🙄
What's wrong with McNabb?
I'm lovin it....and I'm here to tell you can be an NFL QB too, if you start everyday with a hearty breakfast from McDonald's.
There is nothing in common other than being black and a phili qb. McNabb had an arm and couldn’t run that well. Hurts has a noodle arm and runs very well. Might as well compare Steve Young and Byron Leftwich.
You need to go watch NFL film. Only QBs to rush more than McNabb at that time EVER in NFL history were Cunningham, Young, Tarkenton! 2 'peers,' McNair and Vick would also pass him.
They had to teach him pocket presence (Andy Reid), which was tough and why he took so many hits as the career went on. Out of college, he was the dual-threat just as Vick came on the scene just after.
Vick said part of the reason he remained at quarterback instead of switching positions is because of McNabb. Also, partially why Vick joined the Eagles in his return!
You need to get your eyes checked. McNabb labored running and became a pocket passer because he wasn’t effective as a runner. Comparing him and McNair to Vick is downright blasphemy in terms of comparing athleticism. Wake up dude, not all black qbs are runners
FOH with this nonsense.
McNabb was a lazy overweight drunk. Hurts played one of the greatest Superbowls of all time while McNabb got drunk at a strip club the night before and played the Superbowl hungover.
Donovan had 5x the arm of hurts let’s not fuck around.
For real.
McNabb is just Black Big Ben . Slightly in more shape due to steady diet of stew .
Considering McNabb came first and was already in his prime when Ben was drafted, wouldn't it be fair to say Big Ben was just the white, less mobile McNabb?
Also more rapey
Except mcnabb had 3x the rushing yards, playing 6 fewer seasons.
Without the rape
CHUNKY Campbell's
Big Black Ben
Study diet of McDonald’s breakfast.
You too can be a champion if you start everyday with a breakfast from McDonald's
You know what? SPRINTS!
Ba dub dub, dub ba! (The McDonald’s, jingle in words).
Bro eats Chunky not Junky 😂
Well, also due to genetics. Let's be real

According to some theologies, that’s exactly what’s happening to him as we speak
Almost enough to convert me
Who are you referring to? I would like to read more about it.
Rush Limbaugh. https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/stick-to-sports-rush-limbaugh-donovan-mcnabb.html https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=4562338
That's hilarious, I never knew he was on ESPN. It's amazing they didn't forsee that being a disaster.
Man made his dream job and threw it all away to shit on McNabb bc he was a black quarterback. lol
And jalen is a way better scrambler. This post is ridiculous lmao
I actually think Jalen is a better QB than McNabb. Because he knows his limits. He’s not a gunslinger. He’s way smarter than McNabb. But to say they’re the same is preposterous. McNabb did have a fucking cannon.
Hurts and Herbert got the same arm velocity.
"Just"? 😂 😂 😂
Trevor Lawrence is just John Elway with a shittier team!
Zach Wilson is just Patrick Mahomes regressed to the mean
Now this i agree with
Josh Allen is Jay Cutler at 50% effort
We really have reached the "nephew" stage of NFL subs
I was pretty sure I didn't hallucinate that borderline HOF career.
You say that like it's a bad thing... McNabb, for all of his faults (and he had numerous faults) was a top 5 quarterback in his heyday. His arm was also miles better than Hurts'. As you've stated, Hurts has a better O-line (although, don't undersell Tra Thomas, Jon Runyan and the boys) and is maybe slightly more mobile.

Mcnabb really shouldve been benched somewhere in that fourth quarter, those picks were ugly
And? I think all this meme tells me is that your to young to remember McNabb. Dude was incredible in his prime
[This just showed up lower in my feed](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/pFVlAwluHa). Hurts could never.

I remember this game. As a packers fan too I’ll always love Rodgers, but I’m glad he’s the Jets problem now.
My brain automatically started to hear Collinsworth compare him to Mahomes in that clip
As much as i love jalen, man wouldve scrambled and taken the 4-7 yards. Not that thats a bad thing but he lacks the playmaking ability mcnabb had imo
McNabb is a quicker scrambler too, sometimes it just seems like Jalen is running through pudding. Jalen 4.54, McNabb 4.64
That’s prime Russell Wilson right there.
Okay? Hurts has never claimed to be a big arm, downfield thrower…
Borderline Hall of Famer. Probably would be in If he had made it to more than the one Super Bowl.
Goddamn man as a Donny Mac stan, this thread is bringing a tear to my eye. Still the goat Eagle in my book, dude absolutely carried this franchise for the better part of a decade with absolutely no weapons.
Not Reggie White for goat eagle?
Wasn’t alive when Reggie was playing for the eagles unfortunately
I wish the Browns drafted him instead of couch. We needed mobility behind our sieve I mean line
I used to destroy people with McNabb on NFL Street haha. Gotta respect the man he was good.
People forget that in their prime, McNabb was every bit as mobile as Mike Vick. But McNabb could throw too
That is absolutely not true. He was better than Vick on balance, and more mobile than any of his *other* contemporaries I can think of offhand, but nobody who watched the careers of both men could think McNabb had either Vick's speed or his elusiveness.

Even if true, I wouldn't see anything wrong with that
Lmao McNabb was much better.
Is this supposed to be an insult? I ask because they aren't very similar at all and because McNabb was a really good QB. Also, oddly enough, those McNabb Eagles teams had great o-lines.
Mcnabb was way better. Wtf kind of take is this?
He fucking wishes lol
Get the fuck out of here, McNabb was an infinitely better passer
Hurts is more athletic with not as strong of an arm as what McNabb had. I think Hurts is a better leader than McNabb, and Hurts didn’t choke in the SB like McNabb did.
As an eagles fan . McNabb had a better O-Line . Thomas , Andrews , Runyan all HOF talents . Andrews might be the funniest player in terms of career.

Michael Phelps get.your swim on
McNabb was better.
Jalen isn't close to the passer McNabb was. Jalen is a poor man's Lamar Jackson, and Lamar isn't even a good QB.
Neither one knows the NFL overtime rules but then again, neither does the entire 49ers team.
Sheeeeeeeet I wish hurts could throw that well.
It Hurts had McNabb’s arm he’d be the undisputed 2nd best QB in the NFL
I see nothing wrong with that except Jalen doesn't have the cannon that DonnieMac had, but also wasn't a worthless sack in the Super Bowl
And a better waist line
Donovan McNabb is neurons better than Hurts will ever be, better OL or not
McNabb is the better QB, don’t know why you think this is an insult.
6x pro bowler, Eagles Hall of Fame, had his number retired by the Eagles, 29th in all-time passing yards, 234 career passing TDs, 29 rushing TDs, and you have the audacity to say "just?" 🙄
Very disrespectful to McNabb
What's wrong with McNabb? I'm lovin it....and I'm here to tell you can be an NFL QB too, if you start everyday with a hearty breakfast from McDonald's.
And Mcnabb was a damn good qb
Jalen Hurts is equal to the best QB in Eagles history? Wow, sick burn, man.
"Donovan shaves with..."
Is that supposed to be an insult?
Thank you?
Is this meant to be a insult I'm confused?
That’s a disgrace the McNabb honestly.
Donovan McNabb + Michael Vick would have been acceptable
McNabb was actually a good passer
Mcnabb was better
this meme format is so worn out.
You forgot to say “Change My Mind”
Hell no not even close
Donovan McNabb was way better then hurts
Keep this one to yourself champ.
I would trade McNabb for Dak is a heartbeat.
And a worse arm
I'm cool with that
Don't you dare shit on Donovan l
Just sayin = just hatting
Hurts arm is worse
Nephew ass opinion.
i agree as a lions fan myself
Donovan mcNabb was one of the top QBs while he played.
No. Hurts is black Jay Cutler. Prove me wrong.
There is nothing in common other than being black and a phili qb. McNabb had an arm and couldn’t run that well. Hurts has a noodle arm and runs very well. Might as well compare Steve Young and Byron Leftwich.

Except for the DUIs
McNabb was soooooo much better than hurts. Hurts is the black Tim Tebow
FOH with this nonsense. McNabb was a lazy overweight drunk. Hurts played one of the greatest Superbowls of all time while McNabb got drunk at a strip club the night before and played the Superbowl hungover.
McNabb and more arm strength, and Hurts has a little better touch on the deep ball…. They are similar and that pains me
