McNabb explains controversial comments about Wentz

The back-and-forth between Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson and former quarterback Donovan McNabb is still going on. 

After seeing his recent comments on quarterback Carson Wentz explode over the weekend, McNabb fired off two tweets on Monday trying to make it clear he had no real issues with Wentz personally. 

For those of you who misread, didn't understand, were confused or just didn't like my comments let me clarify it for you. Let me start by saying there's no beef,riff or ill-will toward @cj_wentz or the @Eagles . My comments were strictly based off of experience and understanding

Of how The Business of football works. You are consistently evaluated everyday, every game and if you are reliable and or healthy enough to play. I know at times as players and fans it can be confusing to move on from a beloved player but due to the business of health

And trust tough decisions are usually made. Maybe people just didn't like it because it's coming from me or I answered a question from one of the talents on the radio the way you didn't agree with. If that's how you feel I'm sorry you feel that way. It'sthe nature of the game.

McNabb's tweets come after he said this past weekend that he believes Wentz needs to prove he can win soon or the Eagles might need to draft his replacement. 

"I think in the next two years or so (Wentz) has to find a way to get out of the second round of the playoffs. What Nick Foles was able to do taking them to the Super Bowl ... proved that some people can get into that offense and be very successful. (Wentz) hasn't been healthy, he hasn't really proven to me besides the year before he got hurt and the first year of really (being) an MVP candidate. He needs to get back to that mode," McNabb said. "I think personally if he can't get out of the second round in the next two, maybe three years. Really two years to be honest with you, if they can't get out of the second round, they should look to possibly draft another quarterback because you just don't know about his durability."

Those comments by McNabb caused Johnson to call into SportsRadio 94WIP on Sunday evening to fire back at McNabb for questioning his quarterback. 

"This is what I meant — every training camp we have all of these ex-players come and shake our hands, wish us good luck. Then, they just go out and just talk hate. I feel there is a lot of envy, jealously, and I see a lot of fakery. It isn't just me — a lot of other teammates see it too. You would think the best quarterback in franchise history would try to build up a young man that looks up to him instead of always criticizing him, critiquing him and wishing he would fail so he could be the missing link and feel better himself. That is what I don't like," Johnson said. "I'm not a guy that thinks I have it all figured out, I have many problems as well, but I get tired of all the fakery to be honest with you."
