I will admit I'm still curious to know if that tidbit I read about Kyle Shanahan warning his dad not to trade for him is true. But then again we'll probably never know.

There are more than a few "sources who refuse to be identified" who say that Kyle Shanahan did NOT want to trade for Donovan McNabb before the trade was made and that he was convinced that McNabb was not going to play QB the way he wanted it played after the first or second practice with McNabb.

That is not "proof" but there are enough of these "anonymous sources" that I believe that Kyle Shanahan was against the trade from the time it was first proposed. Just my opinion...

Wow, look at how depressed he looks. What did we do to him?

That is what seems to be the word. I do tend to believe that, it's just a shame knowing that we probably gave up a 2nd round pick for a guy our offensive coordinator didn't want. Oh well. You live and you learn, hopefully.
