McNabb can be better in this offense if he would be open to doing what KS is asking to work on to get better. He stuck on his old ways from Philly.

It's hard to take a guy and change the mechanics that he's had his whole career. From the footwork to the decision making. Some guys can do it (re: Grossman, Vick this year) and some apparently cannot. I don't think that McNabb will be able to make the change.. or is not willing, one of the other. The path of least resistance seems to be his m-o right now.

Grossman and Vick spent a year learning their respective offenses before they played.

Footwork is mostly independent of the system. Sure you'll have different drops but mechanics are mechanics.

Which is why you don't go and get yourself an expensive veteran QB past his prime and gamble on him picking up a new offense. Sure, McNabb didn't adjust, and well that's what happens when you've played in one system and comes to a brand new one. Once again, why this front office gambled on a QB learning a new system and playing behind a terrible line? I don't know, but it was a sizeable setback in my opinion.
