PHILADELPHIA - Donovan McNabb isn't just having his best year ever, he's having the best season by a quarterback in Eagles history.

And it's no longer even open for debate.

With five games left in the regular season, McNabb is not only seemingly on his way toward breaking every major team passing record, he's obliterating them.

Not that he cares.

Still, on a team that has sent eight different quarterbacks to the Pro Bowl over the years, McNabb is elevating himself above the pack.

In the Eagles' 72-year history, nobody has done what he's done.

Nobody has come close.

Through 11 games, McNabb is completing 64 percent of his passes, has thrown for 2,892 yards and has 23 touchdowns and five interceptions with a 105.8 passer rating, which has been surpassed only nine times over a full season in NFL history. At his current rate, he'll finish with 4,206 passing yards and 33 touchdowns.

He's on pace to break franchise records for 1) completion percentage (60.7, Randall Cunningham, 1992), 2) passing yards (3,808, Cunningham, 1988), 3) touchdown passes (32, Sonny Jurgensen, 1961), 4) passer rating (98.4, Tommy Thompson, 1948) and 5) interception percentage (1.6, Bubby Brister, 1993).

That's it. There aren't any other major records for him to chase.

"I don't play the game for records or for stats," McNabb said.

"My goal is to win a Super Bowl and bring it to Philadelphia, to bring a championship to this city. Individual stats don't mean anything to me and I don't focus on them or think about them. My only focus is on doing my job at practice and in games."

If McNabb does break all five of team passing records, the Eagles will be the only NFL team (not counting the expansion Texans) whose five major passing records were all set by the same quarterback in the same season.

In fact, only one quarterback currently holds all five records for any team - that's Tampa and Brad Johnson, although he didn't set them all the same season. Peyton Manning holds four of the Colts' five records and is on pace to easily break four of five this year but not interception ratio.

So there's a great chance that by the time the regular season ends, McNabb will be the only quarterback to hold all five of a n NFL team's passing records, with all five set in the same year.

The Eagles, 10-1 and 22-3 in their last 25 games, face the 7-4 Packers at 4:15 p.m. today at the Linc. The Packers have won six straight behind Brett Favre, who - like McNabb - was coached in his early years by Andy Reid.

"I'm very impressed with him and have been," Favre said. "I remember playing those guys here [early in 2000], and they were very vanilla in their play calling and what Andy asked Donovan to do.

"Once he got to a point where he got comfortable with the offense and gradually was at ease with it, Andy kind of turned him loose a little bit and then his play making ability took over a little bit and that's what you're seeing now."
