Hal2856 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm doing this because I feel McNabb is getting critisism (in some cases rightly so) when he is doing a descent job. These are Elway's numbers in his career according to Wikipedia. 1983 259 123 1,663 7 14 28 146 5.2 1 1984 380 214 2,598 18 15 56 237 4.2 1 1985 605¹ 327² 3,891² 22 23 51 253 5.0 0 1986 504 280 3,485 19 13 52 257 4.9 1 1987 410 224 3,198 19 12 66 304 4.6 4 1988 496 274 3,309 17 19 54 234 4.3 1 1989 416 223 3,051 18 18 48 244 5.1 3 1990 502 294 3,526 15 14 50 258 5.2 3 1991 451 242 3,253 13 12 55 255 4.6 6 1992 316 174 2,242 10 17 34 94 2.8 2 1993 551¹ 348¹ 4,030¹ 25² 10 44 153 3.5 0 1994 494 307 3,490 16 10 58 235 4.1 4 1995 542 316 3,970 26 14 41 176 4.3 1 1996 466 287 3,328 26 14 50 249 5.0 4 1997 502 280 3,635 27 11 50 218 4.4 1 1998 356 210 2,806 22 10 37 94 2.5 1 Total (all-time) 7,250 (3rd) 4,123 (3rd) 51,475 (3rd) 300 (5th) 226 774 3,407 4.4 33 Shanny started as head coach in 1995. Obviously Elway did his best in years. So far McNabb is 1,765 yards and 6 Td's to 8 int. Two of those interceptions came off of last minute Hail Mary's. I'd say another two were fluke plays like I consider the play against the bears today. yes, he should have been aware of the rushing safety, however the ball was tipped and fell into that lineman's hands perfectly. The rest are legitamatley his fault. what I am saying is: ELWAY KNEW SHANNY'S SYSTEM. He was his offensive coordinator for years. MCNABB IS LEARNING IT. He will get better as the year goes on and after the bye week. McNabb is beat up and has had to play behind a line that is shoddy at best. I for one think he is playing great. I can see him ending the year at 20td's to 15 ints and almost 4,000 yrds passing. That would be huge for us. This team is gelling like Mageallan and will scare teams at the end of the year. I promise teams wanted to play the Skins early rather than late as they settle into the new systems. McNabb especially. Sit back all, and enjoy the first truly competitive season in years.

Mackdaddydean Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 you mean it was tipped by the lineman and fell into the DBs hands perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal2856 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 yes I guess I do... I haven't studied it exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
