Watch some of the Eagles game, you will see that McNabb gets about 5 secs of protection and still throw the ball at the recievers feet, or to a cornerback.

McNabb's ability to scramble and bootleg was what made him a threat. Defenses use to keep a spy on McNabb for fear of him scrambling for 20+ yds. Once McNabb decided to become more of a pocket passer, defenses no longer need to spy on him and use that extra guy to blitz or double one of the WR. When we needed big plays from McNabb, it usually came in terms of him running to get the first down. He got too bulky now and gets tired too easily, so he doesn't scramble as much.

Watch McNabb run the hurry up offense. He has no clue what to do.

The center is responsible for making blocking adjustments. If your QB doesn't have time it's either because he's not making the right calls or there are serious problems with the rest of the line.

They can't have him roll out n bootleg because his injury prevents him from running.

It's hard to run the ball when we're usually trailing after the first quarter and is playing catch up.
