How would you characterize Cam Newton's NFL career?

Agree to disagree again - Flacco and Eli were never, ever elite QBs. Postseason QBs, sure. Overall, never. It doesn’t matter what talking heads or crazies say, they’ve never held that title. Cam at least was an elite player for a season, just not an elite passer. 

I'm not trying to say they were elite. I'm trying to say they were called elite. We can't just ignore the talking heads or crazies when that's what makes up 90% of sports debate. Post SB Flacco was the talk of the town, and so was Eli after his second time beating Brady in the big game. Not saying it was right - but people will say, and fully believe, crazy things in that SB afterglow. The word "elite" gets thrown around way more than some are suggesting.

McNabb was a lazy, passive-aggressive choke artist. The whole "he never had weapons!" excuse doesn't hold up because continued to lay eggs even when he had Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy and Brent Celek.

See now I know your full of .... because McNabb had his two best seasons (minus 04 TO) as a QB in 08 and made the Pro Bowl in 09' which was Maclin/McCoy's  rookie season before being shipped off to Washington the very next year in 2010..

We have no idea what that foursome could of achieved together because Andy and the FO wanted to go Kevin Kolb / Mike Vick, the cheaper route since Donovan was making contract demands.

They got rid of McNabb because of this: https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/300103006

And this: https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/300109006

It was after these two disasters Reid knew McNabb wasn't the answer anymore and was ready to move on to Kevin Kolb.

Oh and this wasn't a good look either:

This post on Walterfootball sums up why McNabb was never that great: https://forum.walterfootball.com/forum/walterfootball-com-forums/nfl-college-football-picks-and-draft-forum/14292-donovan-mcnabb

I miss DWC! But idiots creating such threads don't need to be part of this site. lol

Yes they do. Boring threads get forgotten as soon as they fall off the first page. The fact that we're still talking about DWC and his threads months later says it all. Without characters like that, forums are duller places.
