The former quarterback made comments about the Eagles’ current quarterback (Carson Wentz) on Saturday. Essentially, McNabb’s point, which he made on The Zach Gelb Show, was that Wentz really needs to prove himself in the immediate future before the Eagles commit long-term to him.

NFL MOCK DRAFT: Eagles go with defensive playmaker

“Staying healthy is very key in this league. And it really pertains to the success of the quarterback. The team only goes as far as the quarterback takes them. They put so much of their eggs into their basket with Carson Wentz and he’s got to prove that in the next two years.”

This doesn’t seem like too much of a hot take from McNabb. As he points out later in the interview, Wentz hasn’t won a playoff game in his career at this point. It seems logical that if he continues to not win in the playoffs, the Eagles might think about other options.

But many didn’t see it that way, including current Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson.

Johnson later appeared on SportsRadio 94WIP to explain the tweet a bit further.

“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," Johnson said. “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 went on to say he believes there are other motives from McNabb at play.

“I don’t think he wants [Wentz] to out-succeed him. I felt like a lot of players, even when we were making our Super Bowl [run] didn’t want us to win. That is just how it is. That’s how the world works. People can put on a good show, a good face, but the eyes never lie,” he said.

And Johnson isn’t the only one upset. Former Eagles receiver Freddie Mitchell even chimed in.

But McNabb is smiling through all of the negativity.

The former QB has been responding to the criticism on Twitter with GIFs, indicating he really doesn’t care what people think about him.
