McNabb choking?

From sportspickle.com: Campbell's releases consumer alert that Donovan McNabb-endorsed Chunky Soup may pose choking hazard

Sick, overwhelmed, exhausted, over-excited, or hungover (see below). These excuses are being thrown around in the context of whether McNabb choked. I don't think he did.

If you look at his other games, his Super Bowl performance was similar to his usual games. He makes some big exciting plays, but he's hampered by inaccurate throws. McNabb and the Eagles are fortunate to play in the NFC where his bad throws don't usually cause him to lose. However, when he's matched up against a good team, his weakness is exposed, and the world sees him as an average quarterback.
