There seems to be several issues surrounding McNabb that has captured the attention of many Redskin fans. I wouldn't necessarily characterize them as worry as much as I would concern.

It has been reported he's been slow in picking up the offense, something that should not be a problem for a QB deemed "franchise", looking for an extention and paid accordingly. There are those who have made light of his latest injury, optomism begs us to believe he'll be ready to go on Sept.12th against Dallas. On the other hand, there are those who continue to look at his body of injury, seventeen games missed in the last five years due to some form of injury.

At soon to be 34 yrs. of age, is injury a concern that's going to constantly be on the horizon? If so, should a longer look be given to a 3-4 yr. extention and at what cost? Given the compensation surrendered for his services, what exactly do/should we expect him to accomplish in a Redskin uniform that would enable the end to justify the means? Or, will injury continue to be a source of derailment, diminishing his ability to be effective for any extended period of time? These, and other questions IMO need to be both considered and answered before any final decision is made on securing his services longtime.
