If we keep McNabb then I want to see them coach him up and get him to play better.

I know we're partial as 'skins fans, but I wonder if people really, truly, realized how great of a coach Joe Gibbs was? Of course, let's not forget that he had a great general manager and staff in the front office to help him along the way. Even though he wasn't "great" in his second tenure, seeing that he was able to get two decent playoff seasons out of this team, something that no other Redskins coach has been able to do since Gibbs left the first time (took Norv about six or seven years for one), I would dare to say is it ever possible to have this team winning like it did in the 80's without making even more changes in the F.O.? I mean, we do have Bruce Allen, but his thing seems to be negotiating contracts. Wished he could have a partner who was great at focusing on player acquisitions.
