Just in comparison and a very general one at that, from an outsider looking in...I still think that Donovan has had just as much success with what bits and peices he's had on offense (Westbrook whenever healthy plus whoever is the guest WR that year) than whatever Manning and Brady has had (at least up to this season...)
Something to consider...suppose McNabb won the Super Bowl ...how would he and Manning compare?
Just general stuff I'm throwing out there nothing to be considered gospel
So, educate me on your team, please.

The advanced metrics show that Manning is much more accurate than McNabb; McNabb does some things really well as a quarterback, but his accuracy is not one of his stronger suits. That's not just because of lack of receiving talent...there are ways to measure it independent of who the receivers are on the field.
You could make the argument Westbrook is one of the top 5-10 offensive players in the NFL...so as far as pieces go, he's a pretty good one to have. Plus, TO played well when he was in Philly, when looking purely at numbers (although I'm not sure if he had as many drops as he has with the Cowboys).
I'm not a Philly fan, so I'll leave the specifics up to KSigRC...I'm just going off of what I've seen on TV, and read on sites like Football Outsiders.
ETA: Madmax is anti-McNabb, though, so you'll probably hear about it from him. Plus, you mentioned something about Philly fans booing, so he'll probably jump in on that too.
