McNabb a REDSKIN!

To piggy back on SmootSmack's thoughts:

The more this story unfolds, it's apparent that McNabb pushed for Washington once he learned of them as a possible suitor. And out of some weird moral obligation towards McNabb, Reid and Co. obliged. So as much as this looks like it had Snyder's stamp, all statements seem to be contrary.

There's a lot of rubbish in this thread about McNabb not being a playmaker or not having pocket presence. Bull puckey! I'm not sure what McNabb you guys have been watching, but on his worst day he has more pocket presence than Jason Campbell.

Truth is we don't need McNabb to be great and he'll be in a more balance attack here. That's one of the biggest misnomer about this trade, we just need him be great in the fourth quarter of about half dozen games that Jason couldn't, for one reason or another, close over the past couple of years.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I got a text from one of my friends last night and almost shit in my pants. McNabb is still in the prine of his career and we got him for a 2nd rounder. 2nd rounders have a 50% success rate? Or less? I like this move. McNabb can play at a high level for 4-5 more years.

He also said there will be soon

Yeah he basically said the trade happened so quick there wasn't any time, but it would be crazy to think something won't happen.

I honestly don't understand this type of thinking either. Just don't get it at all. We're talking about one of the better QBs in the league, the comparisons to JC are just laughable.

Stuff like Gradkowski>Campbell is low-hanging fruit. I do not want to hear what does and does not tell the "whole story" when you're just flat out lying to me.

You can't claim self-evidence as logical support when your arguments are entirely faith based. I'll do you the courtesy of not accepting your failures here as support for my arguments validity, and I wouldn't jump to a conclusion and rule out the fact that there's genius in this move that neither of us can see, but I'm just going to reject most if not all of your premises here as some mix of false and insignificant.

I don't consider it significant that McNabb has experience in the Reid WCO, seeing as the only defense for this trade would be that Shanahan is going to use him more optimally.

I have no idea what you mean by McNabb "knows how to play on the run". He doesn't complete too many of his deep balls, so perhaps he should take some of that great touch off of it. McNabb isn't Rodgers (that one was particularly easy).

Faith in Shanahan, faith in Shanahan, anybody but Campbell, "trust the process". Got it.

Ok now you've lost me on this one.

I've heard that said, but Kyle is our OC and calling plays, did Houston run the same offense as his dad? I don't know, I am asking because I would say Houston didn't seem to be a WCO.

You are right I forgot about that but, It seems like it is going to be some type of merger of each others offenses

He also said there will be soon

I would hope so obviously, but the fact appears to be that we gave up a pick next year with no confirmation that he will be on our team past this year.

Now who are we going to get to give McNabb a true #1 wr??? I don't see us making this type of trade and having him throw to our current cast of wr's.

Generally speaking, can anyone remember such a blockbuster trade, say, in the last ten years?? I can't.

I don't even put the Champ/Portis trade up there, but not comparable. This is just nuts.

Well, this is the one area of the trade that I hope is in our favor. McNabb rarely has had a stellar WR crew and he has succeeded. So I hope he will make our receivers better.
