I was at the game yesterday with Brother Om, and my assessment mirrors your all's. Thing is, it wasn't just that series, although we were successful on the final drive (setting aside epic fail on the extra point), McNabb showed no sense of urgency. Even when calling timeouts, he's laconic about it. He looks like he's barely got his head in the game. I also think he plays more than a 2nd year guy vs. a savvy experienced vet most of the time. He rarely makes a positive adjustment at the LOS, doesn't appear to be particularly adept at recognizing defenses and adjusting plays before the snap to take advantage of it, and makes questionable decisions under pressure. I just haven't been impressed, and that's coming from someone who preaches patience and the challenges of starting over with a new offense, roster, and coaching staff.
Bottom line, I think we got jobbed on McNabb. Then again, we've been getting taken by other team's front offices for years. I will be surprised if we don't jettison McNabb after year one. There's not just been enough capable play there to warrant continuing down that path. But that begs the obvious question, if not McNabb who? Even if we go for a young QB in the draft, unlikely Shanahan would go with a rookie starter (unless we gave up the bank for someone like Luck). We may be in for a lot more pain at QB before it gets better.
