Thought it would be an interesting compare/contrast.

Yeah perhaps you are correct. I noticed one was put up at around 4pm the other at 8 pm I didn''t look at the days.

Still it's funny how 69% said no they didn't want him but now that we have him 72% say it was an awsome trade or they like it? I just don't get it. Redskins fans through and through.

I'm guessing people were against it initially because they simply didn't think it would actually happen, and it's a hated division rival. Now that it's a reality people have changed their tune. I actually expected the poll would reverse like that.

I was more against it in the beginning because I thought that the trade would be much more expensive, given that we are a division rival.

It means they don't take us seriously. Nor do they feel that McNabb is a threat to them.

I'm not buying that.

I think they understand the risk they are taking, but Reid wouldn't trade him somewhere he didn't want to go.

Then Reid and the Eagles entire front off are stupid little shits. They would allow their franchise QB to go to a team in their division because thats where the player wanted to go. BS Why would you put your franchise at second fiddle to the guy your letting go. That is also a slap in the face to the other players and fans if they think McNabb has a few more good years. So either they are stupid or they think McNabb is a none factor.

I still think this move was more the Eagles FO rather than Reid.

It's been said a million times in each thread that no team was going to trade for McNabb unless he'd sign an extension with them. Sure there were teams interested but McNabb held the trump card.

more like McNabb held the upper hand but Reid didn't mind all that much

McNabb (well his agent) would basically say hey, you trade for me and I'm not negotiating a new deal.. the other teams were like well the asking price isn't worth it for just a year

the only other choice they had would be to keep McNabb and get a compensatory pick for him after the year.. Kolb wasn't going to sign an extension without being the starter and you'd better believe that he'll be extended before even the first pre-season game

I was thinking that too.


I voted NO in the first and could not vote in the 2nd poll...there was no "I don't know what to think about it" option.
