      <title>Will Donovan McNabb Bring It in 2008-2009?</title>
      <author>russ bertino</author>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;feel free to comment!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We all know that McNabb had a bad season last year. Some people think it's&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;because of his receivers, while others think it was simply McNabb's fault. lots of &lt;a href="/philadelphia-eagles"&gt;Eagles&lt;/a&gt; fans say that it was McNabb's own doing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, some of the Eagles' receivers, such as Jason Avant, really are not that good, so the Eagles drafted DeSean Jackson. Jackson is expected to have a good season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McNabb is as well, but last season he only completed 291 of 473 passes, going for 3,324 yards with 19 TDs and seven INTs; just&amp;nbsp; average numbers for a QB.&amp;nbsp;But McNabb is not just avrage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McNabb's record for the season was 8-6, but where are the other two games, you would probably ask if you did&amp;nbsp;not follow the Eagles' season last year?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McNabb was injured, which has been a factor for him his entire career. McNabb says he will have a better season next year, and that may be why he is rated in the top-10 QBs in the &lt;a href="/nfl"&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Eagles finished strongly last season, with three wins in a row against the &lt;a href="/new-orleans-saints"&gt;Saints&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="/dallas-cowboys"&gt;Cowboys&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="/buffalo-bills"&gt;Bills&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
