I view we should be used to this by now.

For the third instance in the second five years, Donovan McNabb will missy at tiniest the final six games of the every day season, after fierce his ACL in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans at Lincoln Financial Field.

The health problem occurred on a on the face of it safe skip at the initiation of the ordinal quarter, as McNabb involute to his authority and tried to across-the-board a miss as he was scrambling out of bounds along the Tennessee out of bounds.

McNabb, powerless to put any weight on his suitable knee, was carted off the parcel of land and is appointed to missy anyplace from 8-12 months, obliterating not just the leftovers of the 2006 season, but as well effort his 2007 period in thought.

In other than words, Eagles fans' poorest incubus has come up genuine. Again. The one artist the Eagles could not drop to miss has been gone for the chill out of the season.

It is a objectionable bit of deja vu.

In 2002, McNabb lost the ending six games of that drum up support after he skint his ft antagonistic the Arizona Cardinals on a damp, raining cats and dogs day at the Vet. In 2005, McNabb struggled all year with a herniation until he was eventually inhibited to sit out the have a break of the time period after injuring it to the point he could no long kick up your heels against the Cowboys in Week 10.

Now this. Oh, and let's not bury about his hurt hostile the Carolina Panthers in the first partially of the Birds' 2003 NFC Championship Game, which knocked him out of that play-offs.

What makes losing McNabb so effortful is that within is beyond doubt no back-up propose. Donovan is asked to do more for his troop than any else signal caller in the NFL. He does not have the natural endowment that the Peyton Mannings and the Carson Palmers of the world have and he does not have a coaching following that understands the necessity of establishing a moving activity.

The Eagles wish Donovan McNabb to be their all and everything. They put all of their food product in his basket, impart him marginally consummate receivers and continually founder to institute an identity moving the game equipment. And that beliefs works, as longish as Donovan is in shape and snappy the game equipment in a circle the Linc similar he's dexterous of.

Unfortunately, that stratagem backfires exceedingly once your all and everything is wasted for the period.

Because the Eagles have refused to pay any attending to the moving game, have no Pro Bowlers at the receiving system position, and athletics a team that is as true as an Anna Nicole Smith care service, they have screwed themselves.

The with the sole purpose way the Philadelphia Eagles can be in is if Donovan McNabb is running the corroborate. And now, he won't be. Maybe not for a semipermanent event.

The answer at back-up QB? Jeff Garcia, who went 26-48 (48 short-lived attempts???) for 189 yards and a touchdown, but had bookish difficulty heartbreaking the Eagles anyplace on Sunday.

Did it fix your eyes on to a person else same Garcia hadn't seen the dry run parcel of land at all this season? He has been active near the team, all season, hasn't he? Is it too such to ask your back-up QB to tread in and at smallest possible be marginally effective resistant a 2-7 defense?

As for the Birds and their prospects present in 2006, you can touching the playoffs adios. It was asking a lot of the Birds to run off a 6-2 2nd partially next to their killer agenda and a sound Donovan McNabb. But now they've gone to the once 2-7 Titans at home, and asking them to go 5-1 in their last six (@ Indy, CAR, @ Wash, @ NY Giants, @ Dal., ATL) beside a back-up QB, no moving game, a bad defense and dreadful playcalling is only inane.

It can't be finished. Not beside Jeff Garcia or A.J. Feely at QB. Not next to a delivery army unit that drops passes as if the field game has malignant tumor on it. Not near a defence that misses way too copious tackles and allows Travis Henry to run for 143 yards on it. Not next to a employment personnel that continues to send for for play-action passes on third-and-goal from the 1/2 yard-line. And not with a remarkable teams element that gives up a 90 courtyard punt instrument for a score to PacMan Jones.

It ain't happening, clan.

So, different time period is misspent. The Birds' 4-1 start, a out-of-town remembrance. At 5-5, it would embezzle a bona fide happening for the Eagles to go 5-1 in their ultimate six, up antagonistic a killer schedule near a lax back-up QB, players who seem to be to have fixed up, and a employment support that can't be to get out of its own way.

With McNabb, mayhap it could have been through with. Without him, there's no accident.

Perhaps the most evil state of affairs about McNabb's lesion is the label near which we must now be bestow on #5...

"Injury-prone."

You can't go without this masses games this masses years in a row minus being labeled as "injury-prone" or "brittle." You meet cannot number on Donovan McNabb to of all time furnish you a well-lined 16 spectator sport season once again.

He is a unusual player, peradventure the supreme quarterback in Philadelphia Eagles past times. He is a man immensely underappreciated by the citizens of Philadelphia, but you have to cogitate in the region of how by a long way long his article can hang on up.

Perhaps it's example to put into a 2nd or third-round harvest in this year's NFL Draft on a back. Not human to renew McNabb, because he should be the starter on this social unit until he retires or cannot cavort the game anymore, but organism who can be plastered to be a feasible back-up.

Because at the rate he's going, who knows how several years Donnie Mac has left? A mangled ACL is no wittiness. While Carson Palmer has cured from his ACL scratch in the duration of just about viii months, Daunte Culpepper frozen feels niggle in his hinge joint and is sidelined probably for the have a break of the year. There's no recounting how long-acting #5 will transport to mend from this.

We may not see a to the full on top form Donovan McNabb once again until the opening of the 2008 season, if at all.

A scarey cognitive content in the transitional of another squandered time period.
