Ok, “Smarter than me,” let’s look at the facts!

Rush made his comments in 2003 during what was then the start of McNabb’s 5th season in the NFL. Here are McNabb’s QB ratings per season through his first four:

99-00 = 60.1
00-01 = 77.8
01-02 = 84.3
02-03 = 86.0

AVG = 77.05 (source)

While McNabb showed improvement from year to year, a passer rating of 77.05 is BELOW the league average from 00-03 which was 78.9 (source)

So please, thou who are now to be called “Dumber than me,” do not claim that Rush Limbaugh was wrong! Allen Barra was just one of the many, many, commentators that agreed with Limbaugh.

Now, let’s look at McNabb since then to see if he has SINCE proven Limbaugh wrong.

03-04 = 79.6 (the year Limbaugh made the comment)
04-05 = 104.7 (the BEST single year for McNabb)
05-06 = 85.0
06-07 = 95.5
07-08 = 89.9
08-09 = 86.4

This year is incomplete however McNabb currently has a QB Rating of 123.2 (through 2 games played)

However from 03 through last season McNabb has posted an average rating of 90.2

The “league average” during that time has been in the low to mid 80’s. So it takes McNabb having one good year to even be above that average (but still in the average). Take that big year away? Well then you get an average rating for McNabb of just 87.3 which is *GASP* AVERAGE!

You cannot say that because he had one good year (or possibly two depending on how this one ends up) and call him anything other than an average QB. If you would like to debate these facts with facts of your own or conceed that you really are dumber than a doornail and just talking out your ass, the floor is yours.

You’re dust too stupic and so is Limbaugh!
