Redskins Insider - Selig not thrilled with all the McNabb talk on Opening Day

Trust me, the residual McNabb coverage was way better than what went on at Nationals Stadium today.

Selig is still a douche and baseball still blows.

I find it hilarious that an offseason NFL trade upstages the start of the baseball season. That says a lot.

I agree it would be ridiculous to grade them on this one move. Saying that they idiots based on this one move is definetly a stretch. But, this move they made is a move that only idiots make.

So based on the above we can start an Idiot's List:

- Mike Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan, Bruce Allen
- I'll include myself, since I think it's a good move
- Let's include John Clayton who said this morning on Mike & Mike that the Eagles making this trade was "baffling". He stated the Eagles gave the Skins "3-4 more wins per year" based on McNabb (another indication McNabb is a significant upgrade over JC). And called McNabb a "franchise" QB.

I love baseball and I grew up in RI so I am a big fan of the Red Sox but with that said it just gets old when it is a two or three horse race every year. Seriously if the Orioles or Pirates won the world series that be a bigger upset then Butler beating Duke.

The season is to long and not enough parity. I do love sitting back on a hot summer day on my deck with a small TV drinking a beer and catching a game. When I retire I will definitly get season tickets to the team closets to me at the time, it be like my job, give me something to do.

I was kinda hoping we give the new FO at least a year before the "idoit" talk would begin....

Absolute truth

Or maybe let them get through the draft?

[Redskin Warrior]

According to an espn analyst McNabb was in the weight room before the media this morning working out. Getting ready for Philly? Well i know we have at least two prime-time games this season.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

i'd say we end up with the maximum number of prime time games allowed. do we play the vikings at all? i think mcnabb/redskins vs. favre/vikings would be a great story.

Based on this one move, the conclusion still would not be that [they] are idiots. If for only one reason is, McNabb is a clear upgrade from Jason Campbell. If for another reason, the Redskins have not had a franchise QB since Joe Theismann (and some may argue that he wasn't necessarily a franchise QB.) If you're adding in the prospects of what the FO will do with our #4 pick, then this move will turn out to cost us nothing than the money in McNabb's contract (and we have no cap and Snyder has deep pockets who cares about that anyway?) We may in fact be able to trade down and get that second round pick back and possibly other picks if we don't use the #4 to get Okung. Which will be likely if Okung is gone before we pick #4.

So, I really can't see how one can call the FO idiots for solidifying a pressing need that we haven't had in years (a solid starting QB) and still having options left to rebuild the offensive line. I can see if we traded our only pick away on McNabb, but that didn't happen. Now the Redskins (assuming the OL gets addressed with the draft) are instant contenders in the NFC with a QB who can play for us for the next 3 or 4 years at least. By that point, hopefully we will draft a new young RB, and our offensive line will be solid. And then we can concentrate on drafting a new QB. I was unsure about the McNabb move in the beginning, but now I see it as a big blessing for us.

Skins do play the Vikings this year. We're finalizing the primetime schedule

[BigHairedAristocrat]

that will certainly be a great game, although i am very scared of the vikings. unless favre finally hits the proverbial wall, i see the vikings as the team to beat in the NFL. Chalk that one up to a loss. If I were a betting man, i'd say we beat the Eagles twice, though.

Keep in mind, he's coming from Philadelphia. The worst neighborhoods around you are a big upgrade.

Maybe the extra sleep then will come in handy lol.

Ok, now that we have McNabb which no one thougth would ever happen we might as well pick up T.O. since they have made up. Remember when T.O. first showed up to the Eagles they were the dynamite duo. Connecting all over the field and putting up all kinds of numbers. Imagine how it would look in Kyle Shanahan's pass happy offensive scheme.
