But we do know that the season-ending beat-down Dallas put on the Eagles, followed by the rerun they performed on the Birds in the NFC playoffs, made it easy for those involved in the final decision to not look back.
Well, let the debate about the issue that doesn't matter anymore begin again.
It's not that McNabb necessarily gave his backers a lot to hang their hats on, but with Kevin Kolb playing poorly yesterday before being knocked out of the Eagles' 27-20 loss to Green Bay with a concussion had already provided the ammunition for "I told you so."
And while McNabb may have not been overwhelming in the Redskins' 13-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, he didn't look like a quarterback whose tank has run dry.
McNabb was pedestrian, completing 15 of 32 passes for 171 yards and no touchdowns.
"As an offense, I'd be hard on ourselves and say we didn't get the job done today," McNabb said. "We moved the chains, got the ball into the red zone but didn't finish it. That's disappointing."
But the Redskins won, and for all the complaints about McNabb during his 11 years in South Philadelphia, the one thing he proved way more often than not was that he found ways to win. McNabb posted his 35th win against an NFC East opponent, more than the other three quarterbacks in the division combined.
Things started off well enough for McNabb.
At 8:38 last night, McNabb took his first official NFL snap wearing a uniform other than that of the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Washington Redskins quarterback - hey that wasn't that difficult to say - handed off to running back Clinton Portis for no gain.
His first pass, a play-action to tight end Chris Cooley, only gained 2 yards, but McNabb would lead the Redskins on a 12-play, 69-yard scoring drive.
It was highlighted by a sharp 16-yard pass to receiver Santana Moss and a 17-yard scramble by McNabb that was reminiscent of his explosive younger years.
