In recent news there have been reports stating that Donovan McNabb is making an attempt to end his NFL Football Career on a better note. McNabb has lost weight and has hired a quarterback coach to get his mechanics in order. In McNabb’s last stint with the Minnesota Vikings he looked and played as if he was eating too many bowls of Campbell’s Chunky Soup rather than looking the former All-Pro Quarterback that we were used to seeing.
It is hard for me to see McNabb holding a clipboard behind a young quarterback so that takes several teams off of his potential list. The Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals may be two realistic options for McNabb. These are two teams who are solid in most areas that also have questions about their quarterbacks. Bringing in McNabb to either one of the teams would be harmless, because it would not be rattling the confidence of a young quarterback. Though the Cards are paying Kevin Kolb a hefty salary he really did not perform on the field last season, but he was rewarded a roster bonus this off-season so that will ensure some security.
A lot can happen between now and the opening day of football season. The injury bug may bite really hard on a few teams and McNabb may receive a few calls.
McNabb may be up in age, but there are several success stories of players who have rejuvenated themselves after a bad outing as a player. Randall Cunningham with the Minnesota Vikings and Kurt Warner with the Arizona Cardinals come to mind. Not saying that McNabb can have an off the charts run as those two did, but I feel that he can go out in better fashion.
Somebody should give McNabb at least a back up role. People like Kyle Boller keep a job but McNabb has to wait to get a contract smh. His skills haven’t diminished that bad. His last two teams had minimal weapons at the skill position and we want to write of D Mac. I hope he gets a shot to start and balls out on these fools
