It may surprise you to know that in 2003 the Eagles running game was 9th in the league while in 2000 the Eagles running attack was only 15th.
Sure the running attack was better in 2002 than 2003... but it was 7th in the league and about 200 yards more in total (12.5 yards extra per game). Not that much better than 2003 at all.
So I'm sorry if I disagree with you pulling reasons out of your ass, but blaming lower than you'd want stats on a lack of a running game doesn't wash.
I watched plenty of McNabb and he was basically the same QB in 2003 as he was in 2000. A bit better in scanning the field, but not that much. Still prone to run a lot (in 2002 with the lack of 'inconsistency in the RB position', McNabb only played 10 games, but ran 63 times.. a far higher run percentage per game than in any year of his career).

sigh...
You can't just cherry pick a single stat and use it to advance your argument!
it's about his progression as a QB!!!
The overall numbers show this trend and progression. In addition to that, if you were to watch tape of McNabb you would see the difference CLEAR AS DAY!
Why do I even bother?
It's like trying to teach a caveman Quantum Physics!!
