Yes Garcia and McNabb have similar stats, but what they do on 3rd downs, in important situations, and the effect they had on the rest of the team is hugely positive to one side (Garcia) and negative on the other.

Do you ever use actual evidence to back up your statements?

Any Eagles fan that watched last years games, or the many playoff games that McNabb has blown, knows what I am talking about.

McNabb has blown 0 playoff games in his NFL career.

Lost to a better NYG team on road that went to SB.
Versus the Rams he led them to a 2nd half lead @STL, a much better team and the Def was unable to stop Faulk. He never had a single WR who could get open in the playoffs until TO [and still doesn't].
The Def [and Jim J] screwed the pooch in the TB game going with Kirkland and Blaine Bishop as starters instead of guys who could actually cover. Eagles were down 10 before McNabb's game-ending pick, even a TD for us there doesn't get the win.



McNabb got hurt in CAR game and Pinkston and Trash wouldn't even reach for the ball in that game. They had 1 catch total. Detmer threw a pick at the 5. Eagles receivers dropped EIGHT passes that day, and were directly responsible for 3 of the picks.
LJ Smith fumbles in Maroon Zone & has a pass go right off his hands for a pick vs NWE, another game where the Def simply couldn't stop the other team in the 2nd half.

He also also led 22-pt wins over Tampa, and 18-pt over TB, and 14 @ Chi, and 17-pt over ATL, and beat GB in OT, and Minn [w/Moss] by 13, and 18-pt over ATL again.
Rams, NYG, TB, and NWE were all superior teams than PHL in January [see TB's annhilation of Oak as big underdog.]

Peyton was 3-6 in playoffs until last year and still has a worse career playoff record than McNabb. Blaming the losses on him is ridiculous. In many games the playcalling, WR effort and O-line has been pathetic.
