McNabb a REDSKIN!

I responded to you earlier with this, but it got lost in the frenzy:

I suspect that many who were against McNabb at the outset have no choice but to accept what's happened because we're Redskins fans and Donovan McNabb is now a Redskin.

We have to deal with less picks in the draft than just about every team every single year. I'm sick of that, and it's not something I expected with Shanahan and Allen. Clearly, they aren't following the 'rebuild and suck it up for a year or two' rule. They are all in to win right now.

I don't like the draft situation, but I'm betting they'll do all they can to trade down and pick up more as they go along.

At least McNabb has been there, done that. JC hasn't even been able to lead a team to the playoffs yet. Not saying that's totally his fault because it's not. But with Shanahan and McNabb, you have to feel much better about that vs. Zorn and Campbell.

Right. Been there, done that... but, won't do much else. Any fan of a NFC East team knows McNabb choked when he had the chance to win the SB. PHI fans have even seen enough of what McNabb can do. Why love this move? Why even bring up Zorn? Isn't Campbell better with Shanahan?

Shanahan obviously didn't think so.

And no other team is trying to make a move for JC. There were alot of times last year when JC just stunk it up.

I think what MattyK was trying to say was that the team looks a lot different in 2010.

2009 Redskins = Zorn+Campbell
2010 Redskins = Shanny+McNabb

Ok,

So I have nearly vented the bad taste of this trade out. Now it's on to what else are you going to do. We still need 2 Tackles, plus depth. We have one pick in the first 2 days. As Bruce Allen said, the offseason doesn't end until Pre-season starts, so I will try to hope that there are plans to fill those gaps with quality players. If they can, then great, but this trade in isolation smells more like OldSkins than a new beginning.

If people are comparing JC to McNabb and saying JC is the better option at QB for the Skins, that is absolutly the stupidest thing I have ever read here period. There is no comparison what so ever, that is insane, I dont care what the stats say or what the Philly's scheme says....this was a major upgrade at QB

Thats not why I'm comparing JC. I'm not a fan of JC either. What I am comparing is the stats for those stat oriented people. JC's were not that much different then McNabb's and McNabb had a much better situation to work in. We should have just picked up Delhonme, I don't think we would have had to give up the 2nd round pick for a HOF, franchise type QB who knows how to get to the SB.

I'm sorry, Delhomme. Better? now that I spelled it correctly. He was released by the Panthers, been to a couple SB's, is just as old, would not have had to give up a draft pick. Does he ring a bell now? We should have picked him up if we wanted a better QB then JC.

Ok I'm still saying huh... did you see Delhomme the last year and a half? The guy is toast. He threw 18 INTs last year. Would you take him over McNabb??

Even JC is far superior to Delhomme.

This is a major upgrade at QB (anything would be a major upgrade from JC) but I dont see DM lasting more that 2 yrs.

Mike and Mike said that we offered up Haynesworth for McNabb. Did any one here of this?
