McNabb, like the SOB Nation, is looking forward to getting some questions answered in the 2009 off-season.

The Eagles’ Quarterback position has been discussed in great detail during this off-season, mostly due to McNabb airing his grievances out through the media.  Some fans want to see McNabb leave town, others just want him to shut up.

Regardless of what the fans want, McNabb will the Eagles starting QB in ’09 unless he decided that he doesn’t want to show up.  A hold-out from McNabb is unlikely, but the Eagles may look to sure up the QB position by adding a veteran through Free Agency.  Jeff Garcia’s available…

Although equally unlikely, after the jump you will find a list of all notable NFL QBs becoming free agents in ’09.

Check the angle that comes in @ 16 seconds.  That is a Hall of Fame NFL Quarterback type throw.

I didn’t plan to make a big deal about the Super Bowl, the NFL season has been over for 2 weeks in the SOB nation.

But I have to give some respect to the SIX time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. They are a franchise with a great history, strong fans, the most Super Bowl victories of all time, and a philosophy of football that centers around toughness and speed on both sides of the ball.  Tough not to appreciate that, and the results seem to be speaking for themselves.

Larry Fitzgerald is the best WR in football, Kurt Warner will go to the Hall of Fame (owns the 3 highest passing yardage games of Super Bowl history), and the Cards D was playing well above their heads.  Regardless of the unstoppable force that is Larry Fitzgerald, the Steelers were able to pull out the win due to the absolutely possessed play of  both Roethlisberger and Santonio Holmes (deserving game MVP).

Hope to wipe the smile off your faces next year...

It’s a beautiful thing to watch a quarterback completely black out and make every play necessary to win the big game.  Why do I question if my QB has the ability to enter that unstoppable zone?  Way more mental than physical.

One more beautiful thing:  Mike Tomlin became the youngest NFL head coach to ever win a Super Bowl.  ever. Although it doesn’t need to be mentioned, he is also the second African American head coach to win a championship (and it says a lot of good about the world right now that Tomlin’s race was an abosultely irrelevant story coming into the game)

Much respect to Tomlin, he put together one hell of a team that was dangerous all over the place and just as focused on the supreme goal as he was.

One of these two won the Walter Payton Man of The Year award.

Minutes prior to the kickoff of Super Bowl XLIII, Kurt Warner was named the Walter Payton Man of The Year.  Per the NFL’s official site:

The prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award is unique among NFL honors. It is the only NFL award that recognizes a player for his community service activities as well as his excellence on the field.

This years finalists were Cardinals QB Kurt Warner, Minnesota C Matt Birk, and Philadelphia FS Brian Dawkins.  Dawkins deserved the award, but Warner’s direct line to God got him the nod.

For Warner (and Dawkins), it’s too bad “Man of The Year” doesn’t equate to “Super Bowl Champion”.
