The Facts:
McNabb's physical fitness was an issue in Washington during the 2010 season, and with Minnesota in 2011. Shortly after the Vikings waived him last December, Tom Pelissero of ESPN 1500 Twin Cities reported that McNabb "was out of shape when he showed up" to Minnesota, and "fell even more out of shape once he got benched."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
After two years of lackluster work ethic, McNabb is now taking fitness seriously as he attempts to return to the NFL. He's currently training on sand and in the ocean with quarterbacks guru George Whitfield. "I'm in great shape," McNabb said on ESPN's SportsCenter Monday. "I'm in great shape. I've dropped 15, 20 pounds. ..." Though the weight loss obviously indicates that McNabb knows his conditioning was a problem, he still refuses to openly admit it. Still, as PFT's Mike Florio suggests, McNabb's primary obstacle to getting a job continues to be his belief that he should be a starter. Florio summed up: "Unless and until he embraces holding a clipboard, mentoring a youngster, and playing only when necessary, McNabb will continue to wait for the phone to ring. ..." We agree.
