Pitarresi: McNabb comeback prettty nice

I’m not going to say I knew Donovan McNabb was going to come back big Thursday after having been benched in an Eagles loss Sunday, but I’m not in the least surprised.

 

McNabb has had a lot of ups and downs in his career. He’s a terrific quarterback, maybe a Hall of Famer, but he is a bit erratic. He’s had some terrible games in his pro career, or at least moments, in which he was inexplicably inaccurate or made terrible decisions. He did that in college on occasion, too, but he did so many great things people often failed to notice. He was a great college quarterback, but not a perfect one.

 

On balance, however, McNabb has been as good anyone in the NFL after Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. He also is a smart, gracious, very nice man who is easy to get along with. I hope he continues to have big days like the one he had in yesterday’s win over the Cardinals.
