Rumor: Eagles and Rams Finalizing Trade Involving McNabb

BigHairedAristocrat · 03-26-2010, 01:51 PM

i don't understand all the sage hate. he knows the system and has played very well in it. although i'm sure smoot would vehmently disagree - i think a low round draft pick would be better spent on him than someone like jevan snead.

I'm somewhat bored so how about this - Would you approve of this hypothetical trade?

Redskins trade our 2nd round pick (37th overall) and a conditional 2011 pick to the Eagles for McNabb

the 2011 conditional pick could escellate as high as a 2nd round pick if the Redskins beat the eagles twice, finish the season with a better record, or go further in the playoffs than the Eagles. If the Eagles season is better than ours, then the Eagles get nothing.

Basically what this questions asks is this - do you feel a 2nd round pick would be better spent on McNabb or a rookie quarterback? (keep in mind, its very very rare for quarterbacks not taken in the 1st round to ever become starters)

Why not spend the 2nd round pick on another position?

i think the chances we dont spend a 1st or 2nd round pick on a QB is slim to none.

I don't know if I could ever pull for a team with McNabb bounce passing footballs to receivers 8 yds away. I'm saying my fanhood would take a sabbatical until that sad little experiment was over.

I would never give any draft pick for McNabb. He is a stop gap...I prefer to build something long term. If I am tossing around draft picks I would rather give them to the Rams and get Bradford.

we've got so many needs on our team a stop gap would do just fine for right now. that said, my preference would be to roll with the QBs we have and use our first and 2nd round picks to address our O-line. we still dont have potential starters at either tackle position.

However, my personal opinion is that whoever drafts Bradford or Clausen will be pissing the pick away. i dont think there's a true franchise QB in the draft.

QB is the position that takes the longest to develop. I want Shanny to groom a young QB and I don't want to waste any time getting started. The goal is to win the super bowl and we will never get close until we fix the QB problem. We had very good OT's for most of the last 10 years and didn't get anywhere with them becasue we never had a QB. However, I am not saying that i want to ignore the OL...i want to leave this draft with OL help and the long term answer at QB.

Good. I hope they get rid of Mcnabb. I hate to admit it but my old lady is an Eagles fan and I am so tired of hearing eagles fans blow Mcnabb.

No hate for Sage it's just hard to get excited over a 32 year old journeyman backup

id rate him above the journeyman quarterback we have on the roster and the soon-to-be jounrneyman QB we're trying to get rid of.

Why would you want Sage? He might be better than Grossman, and I emphasize might, but he is not better than JC. I mean how good can he be, he was our 3rd string QB for most of his time here.

He was only here one year

He's no Jake Plummer
