Good points DirtBag59 but none of those QB's were in the same system for over 10yrs old habits are hard to break a wrist band might of helped DMc.

I feel it's more a story out of nothing and it worked. Look how much talk it's generating. I think the real issue they had with McNabb was his refusal to retool on his footwork, not on his decision not to wear a wristband, which I think hasn't been worn by a Shanahan QB since Plummer. Cutler might have worn one to but in the pics I've seen of him in Denver most of them show him without a wrist band.

Still i don't get the dislike of McNabb the person. McNabb the QB? Fire away, but McNabb is one of the classier guys in the league that becomes bombarded with nonconstructive criticism. For God's sake look no further then the Benard Hopkins comment.

McNabb has a communications degree, so he's probably pretty damn good at pushing the buttons of his audience, and the foolish public eats up his stuff like children eating candy.

I don't get why people get their panties in a bunch about this. Did McNabb have some part in the mess that was last offseason? Of course. But he wasn't alone. Personally, I don't think he should've been brought here at all.

My thoughts exactly. McNabb has always been, IMO, one of the most over-rated QB's ever. I saw him throw a deep pass on the run that was as great a pass as I've ever seen. On the other hand he throws more short passes in the dirt than any QB I've ever seen.

I don't know what type of relationship Reid and McNabb really have

Devlin - Lets be honest, no one would be paying attention to him had it not been for the success of Joe Flacco.

Taylor Potts - Texas Tech QB? No tanks kind sur.

Scott Tolzien - Passed the 26-27-60 rule. I'm in.

I doubt the wrist band was the sole reason McNoodle was benched.

Also, would everyone please stop referencing what the Skins did last year with a typical MS offensive scheme. The closest I could see the offense even remotely resembling MS's scheme was in the run game on only the 2 or 3 runs that actually made it past the line of scrimage because the OL actually did their jobs.

I'd say almost 90% of the scheme was more KS's offensive scheme, similar to Houstons. Now if you want to go look at the history of KS and if any of the QB's wore wrist bands then fine. Maybe none of his QB's did either, but it wouldn't have killed him to wear a wrist band.

Yeah the offense is Kyle's, but where do you think he got a lot of his ideas and concepts from? You don't grow up with Mike Shanahan as your Dad and not come away influenced by him. The zone running game, the boot actions, etc., that's all vintage Mike Shanahan. Kyle has made it his own now, but there's still a lot of similarities there.

It's a whole different style of adolescent rebellion.

"Kyle Run the ball."

"No."

"Kyle"

"I don't want to"

"Kyle you can pass later."

"But I want to pass now."

"Kyle, Kyle, don't you dare call a pass play young man. Give me that playbook."

"No! Daddddddddd....I HATE YOU"

My dad is a Cowboys fan and I'm a Redskins fan.
Sometimes the apples falls on the opposite side of the tree.
Kyle Pass-Run ratio both here and in Houston 60-40.
Mike's career Pass-Run ratio 50-50.

UDFA QBs-
Jerrod Johnson
Does Potts have any arm strength? If so then him too.

Lets get Josh Portis. Guy won the Heisman for me back in the day during NCAA 08.
