The former Eagles, Vikings and Redskins quarterback appeared on ESPN First Take on Friday (just as he did on Thursday when he questioned whether Robert Griffin III could fit with the Washington Redskins) and made a head-turning statement.
It began when McNabb criticized New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow and First Take provocateur Skip Bayless stepping in to claim Tebow, probably the most polarizing player ever to play the game, received more heat than he deserves.
“Tim Tebow,” Bayless said, “is the most unfairly, over-criticized quarterback in the history of this league.”
“I am,” McNabb continued. “Nobody has been criticized as much as I have.”
