[quote=SBXVII;696823]and if he hits a brick wall? lol. I mean what if he does not pan out as good as they thought this yr 2010? Now they are stuck paying him 12.25 mil if he sucks donkey d!#ks.[/quote]

That was actually a smart move by Philly. This way he doesn't spend his first season as a starter in a contract year, and 2 yrs, $12.25M is a pittance compared to the salaries of the other three starters in the NFC East. And if he doesn't work out, they don't owe him anything past 2011. Another smart, shrewd move by Andy Reid IMO. Only a 1 year extension for an unproven QB.

Re: why no extension?
 

I don't see any reason to worry about a McNabb extension. It will get done. The last thing McNabb wants to do is play out this year without an extension and risk getting hurt which will cost him the last big payday of his career. And with the threat of a labor dispute after this season...he will sign a contract before he takes a live snap.

Re: why no extension?
 

time to start worrying. since Favre "retired" again, the skins need to get this done. don't want McNabb leaving for Minn.

Re: why no extension?
 

If he doesnt get resigned, franchise tag needs to go on for next season. As far as I'm concerned, we have McNabb on a two year deal, and will franchise him if we need to do so. I understand that will be a hefty price tag, but I think thats a no brainer. If Minnestoa wants to take him at that point, they can give us the two first rounders in return (I think thats the compensation).

Re: why no extension?
 

Don't think that he'll do that but like the guy who covered it said, he may have wished it happened that way.

Sal Pal continues to be a joke.. The Redskins will slap the franchise tag on McNabb so quickly it will make Pal's toupee spin. He's just a bitter Eagles fan..

Hogwash.


We could end up finishing the year better than the Vikings, something I would not have said last week with the assumption Favre would be back. Now Sidney Rice may need hip surgery.

McNabb is buying into the Redskins as a system and winner. You can tell he's excited about being here. He'll sign.

The labor issues are what's preventing the contract...and it's happening to many players other than McNabb.



Bruce Allen doesn't agree with the ESPN fairy tales:

[url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/07/bruce_allen_says_mcnabb_will_b.html]D.C. Sports Bog - Bruce Allen says McNabb will be a Redskin "for years"[/url]

Re: why no extension?
 

What's Sal is saying is true that McNabb's preferred choice was Minnesota, and it's a legit opinion that he has (has had for a while) that McNabb will sign with Minnesota as a free-agent next year. I happen to disagree, but it makes sense what he is saying.

However, as I said in another thread, all that has really nothing to do with Favre "retiring" today because it's not like McNabb is going to up and leave the Redskins now and it's not like anyone really thought Favre was playing more than this upcoming year.

Statement is being blown out of proportion

No kidding. Lavar and Dukes can't stop talking about it on the radio. They're asking fans to call in and voice their "concern". Ridiculous. Earlier on the Mike Wise show they dedicated the entire f-ing show to Colt Brennan.

Its really sad how they blow everything out of porportion.

Is franchising him an option with the looming CBA lockout in 2011?

Really. Boring. Offseason.

So is that a yes, no, or I dunno?

Re: why no extension?
 

[quote=12thMan;717033]So is that a yes, no, or I dunno?[/quote]It's an I dunno. There's no franchise tag to use without a CBA. But there's also no free agency to have to protect them from.

In the absence of free agency, McNabb wouldn't be eligible to go to anyone else unless we allowed him to. We'd, essentially, own his rights until traded or retired or relased. Players won't play under a system like that, so that's why the easiest solution is to just postpone the league year until they can figure out what to do with the franchise tag.

They very well might get rid of it in a bargaining chip, but he's our quarterback. We don't need a franchise tag. If we want him, and pay him like we want him, he will stay.

Did one of you guys just call in to The Fan?

"They were 3-13 the year before they drafted me," McNabb told the Philadelphia Daily News. "The next year, we went 5-11 and then the next year we went 10-6. After that, we were winning 10, 11 games almost every year and going to the playoffs. Not only did we get spoiled as players, but the organization and the fans got spoiled, because that's what they were seeing every year."

McNabb says there's a very different attitude in Washington.

"You come here [to the Redskins], it's like, will we win more than four games? Will we make it to the playoffs? That's the thing that excites me because it's the [same kind of] challenge [as 1999]. That's the drive to lead this team to the playoffs."

McNabb also said that although he was sincere when he apologized on a Philadelphia radio station for leaving town without ever winning a Super Bowl, he also doesn't think players should be judged by whether they have a Super Bowl ring.

"Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl," McNabb said. "Same with Fran Tarkenton. Are their careers failures? Not at all.

They guy isn't old like Favre, but he isn't a spring chicken either. This guy is probably going to be a boom for us, but still can end up being overrated. I don't think he is ever going to be a bust, but there is a small chance he isnt the "savior" we are looking for at QB either.

I wouldn't be so sure. He loves Brad Childress, and I think he would have chosen Minny over DC any day of the week, Shanahan or not. That Vikings team is WAY better than our Redskins.

If the Vikings are Favre-less after this season, I would expect McNabb to head north. Why wouldn't he? I'd take that team over our current version of the Redskins any day.

He's going to have to win early, and stay healthy, and convince BA that it's money well spent. And if he's having fun here, and things are working out, I can assure you that he'd much rather beat up on Philly for three seasons than go to Minnesota and play the role of Brad Childress futility watchdog.

But yeah, if things go the other way this season, and we underachieve, we probably won't show him the contractual love he's looking for, and he's got a fairly acceptable plan B elsewhere if he hits the market.

The fact that we haven't given him a Delhomme-type extension ($20 mil guaranteed) yet is slowly but surely placing my faith back in the front office. If he earns it on the field, I say: pay him.

McNabb is not Lebron. As much as he wants to win he's still a team first guy. We have done a great job in surrounding him with a quality cast in such a short period of time. Maybe not as good as Minnesota but with another year or two it very well could be. McNabb loves it here and the chance to beat the Eagles twice a year is something he's going to relish.

And as much as he likes Childress, McNabb knows that the Redskins have a better coaching staff and offensive system with Mike and Kyle and a lot of times the quality of the coaching staff is enough to overcome personel problems. Anyway just wait for the Brady and Manning deals to get completed. Thats what the Skins and McNabb are waiting on.
