McNabb a REDSKIN!

def not getting the jersey.. no clue how long he'll be here, what he'll do, etc

I'll root my ass off for him but that's about it

You'll know soon enough when we give him a contract extension.

Excellent point, though, that would mean that the biggest change from last year to this year was the defensive aggression. Which, I hope, would have been a change all along.

Turnover margin wins games, but McNabb is a fumbler, and we need a super-strong offensive line to protect him and make sure he keeps moving the chains. He'll take care of the INTs on his own, which I think helps with the development of the receivers a bunch.
Don't get your panties in bunch, m8. With all the bootlegs and stuff along with the big targets on O, McNabb will feel younger already after Fat Andy tried to make him a pure pocket passer.

OK...so is there gonna be a battle for the starting qb job or have the keys been given to McNabb? Is JC gonna be traded to do you keep him as quality backup?

I don't think the chances of JC being here past the draft is very good at all now.

why are they pissed? can u tell me what their opinion and rationale of this deal is? my experience with eagles fans is that they would be glad to see him gone and kolb take over, but i dont think they imagined him with the skins

Well they don't like the fact he's been traded within the divsion. And for every person that hated McNabb, there were probably two or three that loved him.

Also, I'm hearing that the timing of this move may have been a PR one to grab the headline from the Phillies, who by the way, open in D.C. tomorrow.

Just heard that in addition to the 37th pick, the Eagles get a conditional pick next year- either our 3rd or 4th. We now only have 4 picks in this years draft. Gotta think we're really going to try to trade down from 4th overall and/or trade a current player or two for more picks.

See ya Campbell.

I don't know how I feel about this yet. Gimmie some time to process.

Yeah def a bit back and forth on this. Overall McNabb can do great things which is an upgrade over what we have. Is he better than using that 2nd on someone else? I don't know, guess it would depend who was there. This probably would've made for a more interesting draft day trade but it looked like they were trying to get McNabb moved ASAP as that's what McNabb requested.

definitely bittersweet

A 2nd round QB wasn't going to give us the instant impact DM is going to. Grab Okung at #4 and we're definitely looking at a vastly improved offense.

Finally I get to yell "OKUNGGG" like a bumbling drunk and finally mean it. Of course my money is now on the Skins trying hard to trade back. Schfter even said that he expected the Redskins to do that.

Donovan McNabb is headed to the Redskins | ProFootballTalk.com (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/04/donovan-mcnabb-is-headed-to-the-washington-redskins/)

Haynesworth and Landry were considered part of the trade talks according to Glazer

I don't know.. by stats he's 2nd, including the advanced type of stats that you like.. until you say that stats don't matter then back it up with stats :silly:

I did this once before and I'll do it again.....

McNabbs stats are not that much better especially with a better OL.

This is fine with me, we get a Tackle with the first pick, and now instead of drafting a second tier QB with the 2nd round pick, we get a starter and upper tier QB in the league. Get ready to see some of our players traded to acquire some more picks in this years draft. BYE BYE COOLEY????????????
like I said I'd love to trade down now.. should still be a tackle that we like and then go BPA or best lineman available with the other pick that we get, which should be a 2nd or 3rd, unless we opt for a next year 1st

This is part of a long term plan for the Skins. Donny Mac will help install Shanny's offense, and be a team leader. Allen will draft a Golden Boy next year to groom for a year or two and then take over when things are hopefully rolling. I don't think we'll be immediate contenders, but McNabb is a good bridge to the future. Heck, Campbell would have been gone next year anyway, I bet he's THRILLED that he gets to leave sooner.
