McNabb a Redskin! (Part II)

[sandtrapjack]

Wow the Eagles are staged for some wheeling and dealing in the draft, or perhaps a serious youth movement in the City of Brotherly Love.

After this trade, I think that the Eagles now have 10 or 12 picks total in this years draft. Whats more is 6 of those picks are in the first 3 rounds. That are staged man.

No doubt, if they draft well they're gonna be stacked in the coming years.

Clearly we are better today with McNabb and Grossman vs Campbell and Collins as our quarterbacks. Im interested to see what get for JC at this point. If we trade him for a 3rd or 2nd we have come out insanely great with these moves. 2nd round for McNabb is pretty easy to justify the risk IMO, but if we get a decent pick for JC...wow that really be the sweetener for this deal.

I dont buy JC doesnt have a market, numerous sources have anywhere between 3-5 teams ready to work with us...sign that tender JC so you finally move on

I would be willing to say that JC is worth a bag of pork rinds in a trade to Oakland.

If we're trading for pork rinds I don't trust Oakland, let's go Carolina, even if it's just half of a bag.

Here's Delhomme:

Jake Delhomme NFL & AFL Football Statistics | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Split it into 2003-05, and then 2006-08. If those six years represent his prime, it's his age 33 season that looks like a complete outlier. Then he turns 34, and, well you saw football this season.

My point was that didn't sneak up on anyone, Delhomme had a horrendous game in the playoffs. Just saying.

Redskins Insider - McNabb to Redskins: How the trade was made
Reid reports half the teams in the league at least inquired about McNabb. I think it's safe to bet the Pats, Colts, Saints, Pitt, Giants, Cowboys, Packers, Lions, and Bears didn't bother.

What I don't understand is why did we have a poll in the "McNabb to Washington" thread with over 60% of the people saying "NO" and then all of a sudden instead of using the same poll we had to make a new poll in the "McNabb a Redskin (I)" thread?

I know some might try to twist the poll by saying one was prior to McNabb coming and the other was after we learned he was already here, but I'd argue I thought the first poll went up after McNabb was already named last night. Why didn't we just change the title and keep the same votes vs. starting a whole new poll with all the yes people?

I think that a lot of people would've said no because of other options in the first poll, not because they thought that McNabb was trash.

Now that he's here you'll see support because he's a good player and we just have to move on from not picking up McCoy, Tebow, etc most likely

Huh?

The first poll was up on Saturday. The new one went up this morning.

Thought it would be an interesting compare/contrast.

Yeah perhaps you are correct. I noticed one was put up at around 4pm the other at 8 pm I didn''t look at the days.

Still it's funny how 69% said no they didn't want him but now that we have him 72% say it was an awsome trade or they like it? I just don't get it. Redskins fans through and through.

I'm guessing people were against it initially because they simply didn't think it would actually happen, and it's a hated division rival. Now that it's a reality people have changed their tune. I actually expected the poll would reverse like that.

I was more against it in the beginning because I thought that the trade would be much more expensive, given that we are a division rival.

It means they don't take us seriously. Nor do they feel that McNabb is a threat to them.
