McNabb a REDSKIN!

[GMScud]

I must say this is very reminiscent of a Snyder move. Giving up a high draft pick for a big name vet past his prime.

McNabb notoriously underthrows receivers and can't create with his feet anymore. In fact I'd argue that JC is more mobile that DM right now. Unless that line gets a ton better, we've come nowhere with this. I wonder what all the lovers would be saying if it was Cerrato who made this same move?

I'm still undecided, but I'm leaning towards not really liking this, especially since we'll probably give him a lucrative extension as well. With this move, I now forsee at least a few current players traded before the draft.

McNabb doesn't need Vick speed. He just needs to be able to extend the freaking play, run bootlegs, and scramble when he has to. Everyone and their mom knows Fat Andy likes to pass in excess and keep his QB in the pocket.

Well a Snyder/Cerrato would have been us giving up our first rounder.

That's a good point but I guess that we have to realize that new coaches want a guy that they're more comfortable with. It happens quite a lot.. the compensation is the main thing that I'm trying to get over.

Several current players have been shopped around for weeks now. I'm not sure the trade changed that much.

Well, I think losing our 2nd rounder increases the urgency to acquire more picks in this year's draft. Drafting McNabb as a 2 or 3 year band-aid doesn't change our need for a QB of the future, and we still need plenty of help in other areas.

I forsee any combination of the following players traded: Carlos Rogers, Jason Campbell, Laron Landry, and Chris Cooley.

This is an immediate upgrade at the QB position. Bye bye JC finally!

Yet he's going to get up to 5 more quality seasons?

Check his numbers he hasn't missed significant time in a season since 2006.

Missed 2 games in 09
Missed 2 games in 07
Missed 6 games in 06
Missed 7 games in 05

17 games in 5 Years? That's not a healthy QB. Gotta figure in the time he was attempting to play through injuries like his rib/abdominal issues.
Many of these years he was playing behind a FAR better line than what we can offer here.

Still not thinking he's worth a HIGH 2nd and a 3rd/4th. Sorry.

Funny this the second blockbuster trade involving QBs between these two franchises. Wow!!

[LandrySlice]

This is fine with me, we get a Tackle with the first pick, and now instead of drafting a second tier QB with the 2nd round pick, we get a starter and upper tier QB in the league. Get ready to see some of our players traded to acquire some more picks in this years draft. BYE BYE COOLEY????????????

like I said I'd love to trade down now.. should still be a tackle that we like and then go BPA or best lineman available with the other pick that we get, which should be a 2nd or 3rd, unless we opt for a next year 1st

[Eknox]

This is like Shanny getting Elway, a franchise QB..

[saden1]

OK...so is there gonna be a battle for the starting qb job or have the keys been given to McNabb? Is JC gonna be traded to do you keep him as quality backup?
