Why does any coach without a hall of fame qb ever get fired I wonder?
It's obviously not their fault, winning is impossible without a HoF qb.
Andy lost an NFCCG in 2004 to the Carolina panthers.
Despite the table pounding that a HoF qb was required to defeat this team so Andy could get a superbowl berth, let's have a look at the quarterbacks that handed these legendary Panthers their 5 losses that season.
1. Steve McNair.
2. David Carr.
3. Quincy Carter
4. Doug Johnson
5. *drum roll*..
Donovan Mcnabb
What's this? Andy Reid defeated these legends with Donovan McNabb in November? But but but....but hooow?
Favored to win in the NFCCG but lost 14-3 to a team he had already defeated previously.
But it's all right. Andy needed a HoF qb to win a game he was favored to win over a team he'd already defeated without one, and that numerous other teams had done so as well.
Orrrrrrr....the guy just choked like he regularly did.

You are right, McNabb choked a lot in big games. He literally threw up on the field in the SB.
