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. I would love to be like Dan Marino.""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.
