Trading picks for FAs, signing FAs on the downward slope of their careers etc. McNabb was a gutsy move, but anyone that questions it isn't a total loon either. Donovan had a decent line and probably one of the best, if not the best WR trio in the NFL with Jackson, Maclin, and Avante, and still couldn't get the job done. Donovan is a definite upgrade over JC mind you, but that doesn't mean we are going to the promised land for sure with Donovan. He had more to work with in Philly and didn't get it done.

You are right, I could be the wrong. Here is how I look at it.

- Our coach was a GD effing idiot and we needed an upgrade - Done
- Our GM was a GD effing idiot and we needed an upgrade - Done
- We had a lot of underperforming overpaid players who needed to go - Done
- Stephon Heyer could not be our left tackle and we need a tackle for the future - Done
- We needed to upgrade QB - Done
- Our RB has been coddled and needed to be pushed - Done


Not one of these moves is an Archuletta type move. Every move by every FO is "questionable" but to question every move by two established NFL guys doesn't make sense. If they go 3-13 ok but he hasn't even given them a chance.
