Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss

[GMScud]

I have no idea if or when McNabb will get his extension, but I can safely say that this team could just as easily have this exact same record with Jason Campbell. McNabb has been on the poor side of average for a big chunk of the first half of the season (rating of 76 and he's thrown more picks than TDs). Also, prior to this year, McNabb has played in the same system for the same coach his entree career. One thing JC is obviously better at doing than DM is learning a new offensive system. He does it every year. And JC is certainly used to running for his life and having no time to throw to mediocre WR's behind a bumblef*ck line.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Jason is a better QB than Donovan. However with this shit O-line and a brand new system, I think don't he'd have us in any worse of a position.

I just wonder if we can get an O-line and receiving corps together in time for McNabb to produce at a high level before age catches up to him. Provided he signs an extension that is.

Not really. McNabb, to his credit, has extended a fair share of plays. Trading Campbell for a 4th rounder was a good move since he really wasn't going to ever "wake up" here.

That said, maybe they should have just saved this season for rebuilding and kept the picks given up for McNabb. If Shanny wasn't so in love with the 3-4, we could have had Lamarr Houston and slowly have begun the process of competing with the other teams for the best and deepest D-line in the division.

I agree with your conclusions.

I have no desire to defend or detract from McNabb until I see this one again. I thought the QB change was inspired, but ultimately, you could make a logical argument that it cost us our best chance to win the game.

I liked our chances to win prior to McNabb's 4th qtr INT. I didn't think we had much of a chance after we got the ball back down three points inside two minutes. We couldn't get a first down in four downs after the Johnson touchdown, and I kind of doubt that another four downs would have yielded a different result.

Remember, we got dangerously close to bailing out McNabb by forcing a turnover on downs. That TD to Calvin was threaded through tight coverage, but what probably isn't getting enough pub is that it came on a fourth and one play. If we break that up, it's our football.

I don't know how much of it is McNabb's fault or how much of it is on the OL or how much should be put on Galloway (seriously, cut him, and bring up Terence Austin from the PS), and I'd prefer not to lambast McNabb only because "things just weren't working."

The lack of talent on the O-line has frustrated me for YEARS, but now the sad fact is that we have a scary lack of talent at WR and RB as well. If today was any indication, QB will be a need soon too! Is it realistic to think that Santana, Portis, and McNabb will all be gone after this year? What's left?

McNabb didn't have his best game, but benching him at that critical moment, blaming him and embarrassing him, has "pissing contest" written all over it, and McNabb probably hoped to leave the drama in Philly. I see him in Arizona next season, and the Skins starting from scratch on offense.

The benching was a stupid decision in the short and long term, Im glad the camera panned to Mike Shanny when Rex got his clock cleaned on the first play in.
