Either Shanny has poor PR skills, which he does, or there's something to Rex possibly starting. The mere fact that we are discussing this, doesn't bode well for McNabb.

And how much more disconnected could Shanny be by pulling his starting QB during Dallas week with a chance to stay out of the cellar of the NFC EAST?

Yeah I don't know really. I think McNabb will start quite honestly. But who can say for sure.

I wonder if there's a financial issue at play here. I know he wouldn't get a game day bonus if he's not active (not sure what that amount is). And one of the provisions for the Eagles to get our 3rd (and not our 4th) was for McNabb to participate in at least 70% of the offensive snaps.

Although I think it was 70% plus the Redskins had to have a winning record. Plus, what does it really matter since we don't have our 3rd and 4th regardless of who gets the picks between the Saints and the Eagles

Just wish we still had Chase...

I told ya'll that we were going to be talking about the over/under of this happening. But then again, keeping him from being more battered is a-ok with me.

We don't want this:






Go Skins










HE CAN'T EVEN THROW SNOWBALLS!






Then there's this:







Shame we couldn't get this Rex Grossman:

McNabb gives us a better chance to win, so I hope he starts Sunday. No need to see what Sexy Rexy has, he has nothing and we know this from his previous starting experience. If this is something not performance/health related, then w/e, it's out of our hands. All the same though I don't want to see Sexy Rexy playing at all.

Put in Rex .. WTF are you people talking about .. how about GANO makes a chip shot or an extra point .. RILEY doesn't get a block in the back call vs Vikings and we are right in the playoff hunt .. let DM 5 finish this thing out strong .. let's finish 7-9 or 8-8 ... considering we were 4-12 last year that's solid ... no need to **** with DM head anymore .. he's our guy for at least 3 years .. deal with it

how about dan snyder never buys the team and we have five more super bowl rings? the only thing dmac is finishing strong is his giant bowl of campbell's chunky beef stew his mom whipped up for him.

i don't know how you can say we can finish at 7-9 or 8-8 and be serious. you need to sit back take a deep breath and realize that this team is not good and hasn't been for a while. there is no one player that we can buy this offseason and make a playoff run. if we finish 8-8 next year thats gonna be a pretty good year.

and unless you have heard somthing no one else has, i don't know why you would say dmac is our guy for the next three years and to deal with it, if i were placing a bet i would say the chances of him returning for next year are about 75%, if you think it's a lock you are kidding yourself, have you seen the cardinls or vikings play this year?

as for the sexy rexy start i don't see how it could be a bad thing, dmac isn't a rookie he knows what he has accomplished in the league, him missing a game or two to see what a back up has is not going to mess with his head. i'm with pistol petes point of view, if they haven't played this year or if there is a formation we haven't tried out yet, do it! we have nothing to lose. imo the next few games should be a try-out kind of like the bucs entire season was last year.

When was the last time this team actually had a 1st and 2nd round pick in the same draft? Seems like forever ago.

2010: 1 first, no second
2009: 1 first, no second
2008: no first, 3 second
2007: 1 first, no second
2006: no first, 1 second
2005: 2 first, no second
2004: 1 first, no second
2003: no first, 1 second
2002: 1 first, 1 second

Wow. 8 years since we've had a first and a second in the same draft. Lets take a look at what those most recent expendable 2nd round picks cost us:
2010 - D.Mac
2009 - Jason Taylor
If D.Mac leaves this offseason, then we'll have wasted 2 consecutive 2nd round picks on 1 year rentals. That's not how you build a team.

Also here are a couple recent QBs that faced some advisity (sucked) in their careers and then came back from it

Rich Gannon
Steve Young
Mike Vick
Vinny Testaverde
Kurt Warner
Patrick Ramsey (just wait)

This has probably been the toughest year for me as a fan, but one thing ive learned is to not necessarily count a player out because of poor performance when used improperly. I mean look at how horrible our defense is. You would think there are only 5 or 6 starting caliber players on defense, which is completely true in our 3-4, but completely not true in a tightly controlled 4-3. Square peg / round hole thing. Maybe McNabb is a square peg in our offense, maybe Grossman was a square peg in Chicago’s offense.

Love the Ramsey nod .. that along with your Lavar Arrington #56 avatar I feel like the ol' ball coach is back in town ..'we going to pitch it, and catch it'

[firstdown]

I have a $100 riding on this game so who every is OK to play better be out there busting their ass and it is Dallas.

Change takes time, honestly 12th your expectations for this year seem a little unreasonable. Shanahan took over a 4-12 team that lacked depth and didn't have a full compliment of draft picks. Add in a limited free agent pool and the task of getting this team turned around in one offseason was a very tall one, and probably a very unlikely one. It's been a frustrating year but we've had some nice wins and some very tough losses. I think the team has been more competitive than some are giving them credit for, especially given the lack of depth and impact players. It's simply too early to be so down on this new regime.

okay, i'm a little heated (and tipsy) right now. you're right, but i'm just pissed. i'm tired and i'm pissed. i thought at least things would feel different with shanny at the helm, but it seems it's the same old same old.

i guess winning cures all as they say. but a little whisky and a lot of losing ain't a good mix.

i'm out.
