Donovan McNabb is the Man

Actually scratch that. Donovan McNabb is a man and I respect him for it.

I just finished reading an article about McNabb in training camp and he is ever the optimist. This post however is not in praise of McNabb's outlook on camp. This post is in praise of McNabb's professionalism. Donovan has taken more shit over the last 9 years then any quarterback in my short time on this planet. He's dealt with the Philly media, he's dealt with being a black quarterback in America, he's dealt with TO, he's dealt with injury and he's done it all with class.

First let me explain something about my personal feelings toward Donovan. Although I hail from the suburbs of Syracuse, I probably hated McNabb and the Orange more than anyone during that time period. I'm no hater, but as a lifetime fan of the WVU Mountaineers I was not a fan of SU football. So I'm speaking as someone who actually had every reason not to like Donovan.

If you follow Donovan's career though it's clear to see the guy is a class act. I feel he has handled every adverse situation like a pro and always stated that he was 100% dedicated to Philly and winning the Super Bowl. When TO was being a crybaby, Donovan just went out there and played. So I just wanted to write something giving some "propers" to DMcNabb. Tupac said it best: "keep ya head up".
