It seems Donovan McNabb will never get over some of the treatment he received as a player. McNabb the analyst has turned into a pundit who’s never happy about the next guys success.
Chicago Bears star Jay Cutler is latest quarterback to get the business from the former Eagles great.
During an interview with 87.7 The Game’s Jarrett, Harry and Spike Show on Thursday, McNabb said Cutler was lucky to get the new seven-year, $126 million deal the Bears reward hiim with.
“Are you serious?” McNabb asked, via CSNChicago.com. “I think Jay might be the luckiest dude in Chicago, to be honest with you, with the contract that he received for what we haven’t seen thus far.
“Don’t get me wrong, I think Jay’s got a strong arm, I think the sky’s the limit for him. But for what we’ve seen in Chicago, when you didn’t finish the NFC Championship — which it was due to injury. But even with that, you haven’t been able to get past that hump you needed.”
McNabb tried to apply his pressure by stating that this is a huge year for Cutler.
“This is a real big year,” McNabb added. “Josh McCown, your buddy, is not here no more. So you have no excuse. When you look across the board, you have the best wide receiver duo in the NFL. A great running back who they wouldn’t pay just about a year and a half ago, and then the tight end is excellent. And the offensive line finally looks good because you throw the ball, you don’t drop back 12, 14 yards.”
