Re: McNabb a Redskin! (Part II)
'A shot in the arm' | Washington Examiner
Quote:
In talking to several front office executives and an NFL talent evaluator, there was a unanimous opinion: The Redskins upgraded in a major way at quarterback by getting McNabb on Sunday night. And none of them thought the price (a second-round pick this year and either a third or a fourth rounder next year) was steep.

"This is a shot in the arm for the Redskins. They made a move to put a little energy into the team," he said. "You bring leadership, some veteran savvy, a guy that can make plays on the run and in the pocket. He brings the best out of everybody."
McNabb fits the description of quarterbacks favored by Shanahan: big, athletic and strong-armed. Shanahan likes to use play-action, bootlegs and rollouts -- more than what McNabb used in Philadelphia.

So who was that armchair GM that said all of the bolded as false? Yeah, the sparring continues.
