McNabb a redskin

Wow, so the redskins might actually be good now.  Lucky for the ones who actually like them  ;D

At least until he gets injured.

McNabb is one of the greatest all-time losers in NFL history. The guy has never seen a big game he couldn't choke like a stuffed pig at.

i love mcnabb  ;D
hate the redskins  :'(

:-\

do not like

Astonishingly bad body language in big games. Always looks like he doesn't give a sh*t.  This seems to be a defense mechanism to cope with his tendency to blow it in crucial situations.  But he's definitely a real QB up until those moments which makes him more tolerable than Campbell (who can't really be counted on in any 3rd and long) and the likes of Jimmah Clausen (ditto + a total douche)..

if it were any other team making the move, i'd say they got a steal

because its the redskins, i'll go with spectacular failure

Skins fans can also view what McNabb brings to the table in a completely different light than Eagles fans.  In Philly they know he can get them to the playoffs, maybe even deep into the playoffs, but eventually he will break their hearts.  Skins fans right now would be thrilled to get that far.

What about the rest of the team?  Getting an old, somewhat successful QB makes them immediate contenders?

I'm sure this is totally different from Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Jason Taylor, Dana Stubblefield, Jeff George, Adam Archuleta, etc…those guys were past their prime.  ;)

Funny how they say "there's a new sheriff in town blah blah" yet they still make moves like this that have Snyder's fingerprints all over them.

McNabb, Larry Johnson, and Willie Parker.  This is shaping up to be a great team - in 2006.

Naysayers are ridiculous.. He just finished the third best season of his career and is 33….and they gave up a second round draft pick! He does not have to lead them to the super bowl to be a good trade.

Exactly.

A large part of his skill set is his mobility, and yes, he is 33. Exactly.

True. He's better then Campbell straight-up, and Mr. I-Quarterbacked-The-Worst-Season-In-ND's-Modern History is the second coming of Ron Paulus.

I'm not a football fan, but this news seems about as awe-inspiring as the news of Miguel Tejada returning to the Orioles. Hey Miggy hit .313 and lead the NL in doubles last year, so he's going to turn around the O's, right?

I know you're trying to be snarky, but that's actually a perfect analogy.

They gave up a second round pick to get a guy who has the third-highest QB winning percentage in the league.  Sure, he's no spring chicken, he misses a few games most seasons, and his record in the division and conference playoffs is suspect, but everyone seems to agree he's a major improvement over Jason Campbell, Rex Grossman, Colt Brennan, and Richard Bartel.  Too bad they couldn't get Philly to take Haynesworth off their hands.

i wouldnt call mobility a large part of mcnabb's skill set for the past 5 years or so. he has a lot of miles on him from all of the hits he's taken though

miggy is a good player and all, but i dont know that there's a position in baseball that can change a team like upgrading a quarterback can

As I said, I'm not a football guy, so I'll defer to your superior knowledge.

And no, I'm not being snarky.

McNabb has done year after year what Brady did with the Patriots in his first year. Take a bunch of no names and actually go into the playoffs and win games. I'm not a fan at all of McNabb but I never understood the hate that he garnered from Philadelphia fans. I'm really confused by all the moves we've made in the off season. We still don't have an offensive line and now we're getting an injury prone quarterback to step in? Really? He's taken the Eagles to 5 NFC Championships? He's 9-7 in post season play in his past 11 years, I'm not saying he's the best but I'd hardly shit on him for his ability to play. I'm looking forward to seeing my Skins again but my hopes are almost at an all-time low. Bruce Allen has a lot to prove to me.


On a funny side note, Vinny Ceratto called into my work a few weeks ago, he has a real bad attitude. It took all my strength not to scold him endlessly over the phone.

Isn't Peyton Manning 33…?
