McNabb feels for Russell during young QB's woes.
McNabb plans to pull JaMarcus Russell aside Sunday before the Philadelphia Eagles (3-1) play the Raiders (1-4) and impart some veteran wisdom from a player who has plenty of experience dealing with booing fans, media skeptics and just about any other kind of adversity an NFL quarterback can endure.
McNabb wants to make sure Russell stays positive despite a rough start to his third season that has raised serious questions about whether the No. 1 overall pick in 2007 draft has become a draft bust.
"Understand that every quarterback in this league has been through some sort of struggle, but believe that you can pull yourself out of it," McNabb said of his advice. "The guys around you have to make plays. ... Not all the negative aspects of what's been going on should fall on JaMarcus because it's a team game."
