I think the benching of McNabb was a decent move, however there is something even bigger that bugs me about this benching. It basically says, we (the FO) screwed up, and gave up a 2nd and a 4th to have McNabb play for 13 games. I just feel that as a rebuilding team, we could have used that 2nd rounder this past year on something else (i.e. getting Terence Cody to be our NT or a Guard/Center of the future) instead of gambling on a QB that's a bit past his prime.

Seeing Grossman behind center makes me think we could have address other areas of need while playing a mediocre QB; and set things up for that QB of the future in the 2011 draft.
