McNabb a Redskin! (Part II)

I was hoping that we would get "the best QB in decades" but have him be young, so we have him for a long time.

That hope squashed, I still take solace that we are better at QB than we've been in decades, as you indicate.

I agree, but a second rounder and a likely third rounder really isn't too bad of a deal for a proven quarterback. In fact, it almost seems cheap.

3rd for Mark Brunell was pretty bad because he was already well into his decline shown through his poor play and eventual benching in Jacksonville.

I believe we traded a 1st and 2nd and 3rd rounder for Brad Johnson in 1999.

We used a 1st and 3rd and 4th for Jason Campbell.

Matt Cassel cost a 2nd rounder and who knows how good he actually is.

It almost seems like McNabb came at a bargain.

Super analysis my friend. McNabb is indeed a bargain if he takes us to the playoffs this year. I mean, EVERY team in the NFL would trade their 2nd round pick every season for a guaranteed shot at the playoffs. And if McNabb plays near as long as Favre...we just need to go ahead and lock him up with a 5 year deal right now.

Well said. If we get a third or fourth pick for JC, that will in a sense cancel next year's pick that we sent to Philly. In this case, we upgraded at QB to Donovan McNabb for just a net second round pick. This is indeed a bargain. How often do you acquire a multi-Pro Bowler, within the division no less, for just a second?

Im tired of people telling us to draft linemen

this is the NFL you don't want a rookie guard not just that the skins have been signing linemen williams is a guard!

McNabb is gonna do great and we didn't need to tell Jason about the transaction what has he really given to the franchise?

No if Vinny were listening to me he would of been out to get McNabb years ago :P

I'm just saying I find it odd that our lines so horrible yet a backup qb can get behind it and not get sacked till the playoffs

Yeah in 2007. And that line wasn't stellar either. It's 2010. Last year's line stank.

We don't even know what the draft target is now though...what can we get for deep sixing J.C.?!?!? Or Colt

But really you don't wanna draft a rookie linemen

Still cannot believe McNabb is a Skin. This is blowing my mind ever so slightly.

Finally, I can look forward to Madden 2011.

I'm already updating my roster

[NYCskinfan82]

I really don't know were i stand with this trade yet but,
1. DM works out in the off season,
2. DM never took painkillers Favre did & if he didn't he probably wouldn't be here now
3. Favre is still playing & DM takes better care of himself.
4. DM is a good roll out QB.
5. DM has the ablility to make his WR's better.

I'm a JC supporter & i'm sad to see him go (more than likely.)

Glad to see him back to his old optimistic self.
