McNabb a REDSKIN!

Talked to five football analysts that I really respect (not including myself). None are Redskins fans. None are Eagle fans. Two are Giants fans.

It was unianimous, 5-0, that the Redskins got boned hard in this trade. There is no one who I have talked to, who understands the game, who likes this trade for us.

That's just the facts.

Opinions are now "facts"?


I've actually had the opposite experience, many non-Redskin/non-Eagle fans I've spoken to (very knowledgeable fans also) think the Eagles are stupid for making this deal and we're better for it. I spoke to someone who has been a diehard Eagle fan for 31 years...who gave up on the franchise and can't stomach their mistakes and the recent dismantling of the team. They're not "re-tooling", they're in an all-out dismantling and rebuilding job.


Personally, my vote in this thread goes to "Don't know...wait and see". I can't vote yes or no, I'm conflicted inside, still in a state of shock. I just didn't see this deal coming.

I totally agree. You simply don't trade for McNabb and have him throw do our current wr's. Perhaps Cooley is being thrown around for a 2nd rounder and we deal that first rounder of Marshall and let Davis step in at TE. I'm telling you we're not done wheeling and dealing!I don't think Marshall is anyone's answer, but we're going to have to do something at the wide receiver position.

What's wrong with our receivers compared to some of the receiver groups that McNabb has had in the past?

I'm talking analyst opinion from people who would know, if as you say, it's possible to know.

I don't need fan opinion because I am a fan, and already have an opinion.

What's wrong with our receivers compared to some of the receiver groups that McNabb has had in the past?The suckage comes to mind.

How do you get boned hard by giving up a 2nd rounder for a top ten NFL QB that still has several good years left?? I'm amazed by that.

The questions are: Would we have picked a better qb with our 2nd rounder? NO, and: Are we better at qb than we were with JC? Unquestionably!!
Good move, now we need to make other good moves to regain picks, be it through trading players for picks or trade down from #4.

53 they just made it that much easier. And BTW we now know a hell of allot about what the eagles do on offense and defense.

I'm not trying to argue with you, you either like the trade or are trying to look on the brightside. I'm trying to also but I'm having a hard time doing it. I don't think this was needed and will be interested to see what players are still on the board at #37. I would have been happier going in a different direction. Any coach who knows how to watch film could find out what he needs to know about Philly's offense and defense. I expected this team to be better this year with the added competition at RB and improvement to the o-line, which I think is key. I expected us to be better, even without McNabb.

well i'd say jackson is better that anyone we currently have. but i think mcnabb will make out current guys better. or he'll make them look better than jc did.
