Anyone bothered that McNabb STILL has no new contract??

I've heard MS wants to "try him out" after 8 games or so. I don't think it's wise nor was it the intention to send 2 draft picks to Phili, for a coach to try him out or see how he performs. That's a big gamble. A trade like this to means that both sides have to be committed long term at the time of the trade for it to be made initially. That's the issue i have. If he or we decide to walk, this was a huge front office blunder.

I do think, though, that it will get done. I'm sure there are things we don't know. It is cause for concern.

The Skins have given away 2 draft picks for a lot less return than DM has already given. I have heard he's interested in going to Minn to get back with his old coach, if that happens best wishes to him, Shanny will find another solution.

What I'd really like to see is for the Skins to make a serious running at trying to snatch Manning away from Indy.

Yes, but you can't argue it was a wise move to give away 2 draft picks for a 1 year guy. True, they've done worse, but we should be a better run organization now.

Wishful thinking, but no way Indy lets him sniff the open market.

Seriously wishful thinking. That fan base would get out the torches and pitchforks if Polian let Manning escape.

It is wishful thinking but anything can happen if the timing and offer is right. I dont think anyone ever thought Joe Montana would leave SF, Joe Namath leave the Jets, Johnny U leave the Colts, or Favre not be a Packer. It unlikely but the Skins have $ and an owner that isnt afraid to spend it.

True, but Manning is neither a shell of his former self nor do the Colts have an obvious heir apparent sitting on their bench as was the case the players and teams you mentioned

True but like I said if the timing and offer are right Manning wont care what QB the Colts have waiting in the wings. Who would have imagined the Eagles would have traded McNabb to a division rival. When it comes to sports I never say never.

Well we beat the Eagle's but other then that its not like McNabb is lighting it up. Maybe they knew what they where doing. We play that Eagles game 10 times I think they win it 8 of 10. Not saying we cannot beat the Eagles I'm talking that game.
