McNabb a REDSKIN!

Wow...I think this is great, McNabb is a probowl QB, all he needs is a decent offensive line and a few subpar recievers and we are set for at least the next 4 years.....

Well, we've got the subpar receivers already. Let's hear it for internal player development!

any word on a press conference time?

Think about how good Donovan McNabb made the following receivers look:

LJ Smith
Brent Celek
Dante Stallworth

Chris Cooley and Fred Davis are better than their Eagle equivalents in my opinion, and Santana Moss is a rich man's version of Stallworth. Some people may argue Moss is not a #1 receiver, but was Stallworth?

The only issue is if McNabb will mesh with Shanahan's system. Obviously he was a perfect fit for Reid, but will he be for Shanahan?

Chances are that he is, but there's always that unknown variable.

Have the Skins commented on this yet? Reid is giving a press conference now. But nothing at Redskins.com

JC may now either be used as a trading chip, or, we have the best depth at the QB position that I can remember. Interesting to see what we do with JC, I mean, its gotta suck to be him.

All right I'm tired of hearing that McNabb had comparable stats when compared to JC. For starters McNabb missed 2.2 games this year. Thats most likely good another 400 yards and 3 or 4 TD's which would have made his stats 3,900 to 4,000 yards and 25 or 26 TD's. He put up comparable stats in 2 less games.

You're right. He'll never get injured here. We should already add on two games for the playoff games he'll get us to.

Never said he wouldn't get injured. However people kept on saying that Campbell put up comparable numbers and thats simply not true. It's like if I had two basketball players and with the same amount of points. One guys averages 25 ppg while the other averages around 17 ppg.

Basically McNabb is much better on a per game basis. He's certainly a better prospect then Schuab.

No. That's not what it's like at all. It's as if you had a 19 PPG guy and an 18 PPG guy, but the 19 PPG guy (who had averaged 21 PPG for his career, perhaps) had an injury history (so the 18 PPG guy had more points scored) and a large contract, and you traded for him anyway. Reasoning being: the 18 PPG player just isn't cutting it.

Age issues aside, that's a poor solution to a perceived problem. And it would make you ask out loud if they really understood the problem to begin with.

Make no mistake, McNabb is light years ahead of Jason Campbell. Imagine if he had the durability and running game of the Redskins in years past (not this year, obviously) and Santana Moss as his number one instead of James Thrash or Dante Sallworth.

You, me, and Stink agree

Well, like I said in my analysis last night, there are no bonuses for the team that can collect the most mid-tier quarterbacks.

We had great QB depth in 2005, 2006, and 2007 as well, although those player pale in comparison to McNabb + Campbell. Now, I don't actually think Campbell will be here in 2010, but there's no incentive to release him if you don't get a trade offer to your liking.

The thing is that Campbell clearly has more value than McNabb going forward, that much is certain. But in the absence of sticking with Campbell beyond this year, which it was obvious that no one was planning on, that's not really relevant.

I know I'm going to hate myself for asking...but how so?
