Good point. Hindsight is always 20/20. At the time I thought it was a good trade because I thought that if DM played they way he did with Philly he was a definite upgrade from from what the Skins had. Unfortunately DM's skills had seriously eroded.

I was iffy about the trade but trusted MS. It did bug me that the first thing that he did was something that the Redskins had been criticized for in the past. Now of course I wish he had gone a different direction. Shoot, I would have rather have another year of JC or a year of Rex, instead of giving up picks for a crappy year of McNabb.

I trusted Shanahan too, i thought like maybe Shanahan saw something in DM that said he could get another couple of years out of him, and I fell under the hype that we were only missing a QB, and our team would be competitive.

BUT, what I saw from him his final season in Philly was very disheartening. Philly was playing well, but DM was really struggling and i do believe we saw the end of DM#5 as a TRUE starting QB in that game against Dallas where the eagles were totally mopped by them. McNabb showed in that game everything that we hated about him in Washington.

JC was not the answer. He never was going to be the answer here, there was too much inconsistancy in his play. Raiders i believe got the true JC in 2010 when he was benched for Gradkowski. This year was kind of a fluke IMO, he looked great because Oakland had such a monster running game and the team was finally starting to be dominant. BUT, they must not have thought much of him as far as being the future because they traded the future away to get Carson Palmer.

I don't know if we will get a top five pick but we are playing that way. I think we should really do like Atlanta did and put a package together to get Andrew Luck if the skins get 100% sure thats what they want.

HTTR!
