I think he means that JC is younger, and was improving (stat wise) every year, plus not a lot of injury concerns...

McNabb is probably 500-900 passing attempts away from being a player who just-can't-do-it anymore (think McNair 07, or Delhomme '09). Campbell figures to peak as a talent around age 31, or two to three years in the future.

I wouldn't want to be the guy holding the contract for McNabb's age-35 to age-37 seasons, but I'm that much closer now. And how quickly is he going to age behind Heyer/Williams/Rabach. Are we going to do anything to give up a chance behind that right side even after addressing the left side with the No. 4 pick?

I'm very hopeful McNabb can succeed here, but I share your skepticism. The bottom line is we as fans have been burned so many times, I simply refuse to give the benefit of the doubt to this organization anymore, regardless of the big names calling the shots.

Nah, nothing from the Skins yet, they are keeping pretty quiet so far.

The other nightmare scenario now is if the Rams go Suh, and the Lions take Okung, then Bradford falls to 4, but they can't draft him now. Plus, with Okung gone, we are left with a RT option at #4.

I don't think there's any way the Rams pass on Sam Bradford.

I do, they don't have a decent vet. On top of that they don't have a decent QB period and everyone wants them to take a chance on a Rookie QB? You do realize this may be Spano's last yr and he may not want to risk it with an unknown commodity? McNabb is better then any Rookie for two reasons...

1- you know what your getting. An NFL proven QB.
2- He's been to the SB before.

but I'll give you a nugget. Some Rams fans I hear are not infatuated with JC. There way of thinking is if we don't want him why would they? However the Rams were in talks with the Eagles in regards to McNabb they just could get a deal done.

[luke4twenty]

If Bradford slips, we become a HOT spot for trading down, not such a bad thing. Also, picking up McNabb does another thing, weakens division rival. Don't forget Eagles are 1 snap away from Vick starting...lol

[luke4twenty]

agreed GT

[tootergray34]

I heard a gallon of goat blood was in the deal as well given by snyder...confirm or deny?

Makes D Halls comment a few days ago all the more interesting. Got give D Hall a little credit for the signing.

What'd he say?

[GTripp0012]

Don't underestimate the part where the Redskins might be stuck with McNabb beyond this year because they don't have the ammo to draft a quarterback in the first three rounds anymore.

Maybe if they can orchestrate a trade down...but there's no way I'd give up a shot at Okung, even to satisfy my Colt McCoy man-crush.

I'm sick.
