McNabb a Redskin! (Part II)

Hey Gtripp and SirClinton?

Are you two going to be done playing swords anytime soon?Well, I was waiting for the final act, which figures to involve fire in some way.

Drove that Gradkowski bandwagon right off a cliff eh Tripp? ;)

Right around December of 2007.

NFL: The Philadelphia Eagles decided the time was right to trade Donovan McNabb - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=paolantonio_sal&id=5057099)

Good read on how this went down

What I don't understand is why did we have a poll in the "McNabb to Washington" thread with over 60% of the people saying "NO" and then all of a sudden instead of using the same poll we had to make a new poll in the "McNabb a Redskin (I)" thread?

I know some might try to twist the poll by saying one was prior to McNabb coming and the other was after we learned he was already here, but I'd argue I thought the first poll went up after McNabb was already named last night. Why didn't we just change the title and keep the same votes vs. starting a whole new poll with all the yes people?
I think that a lot of people would've said no because of other options in the first poll, not because they thought that McNabb was trash.

Now that he's here you'll see support because he's a good player and we just have to move on from not picking up McCoy, Tebow, etc most likely

Yeah perhaps you are correct. I noticed one was put up at around 4pm the other at 8 pm I didn''t look at the days.

Still it's funny how 69% said no they didn't want him but now that we have him 72% say it was an awsome trade or they like it? I just don't get it. Redskins fans through and through.

I was thinking that too.


I voted NO in the first and could not vote in the 2nd poll...there was no "I don't know what to think about it" option.

I'm guessing people were against it initially because they simply didn't think it would actually happen, and it's a hated division rival. Now that it's a reality people have changed their tune. I actually expected the poll would reverse like that.

I was more against it in the beginning because I thought that the trade would be much more expensive, given that we are a division rival.

It means they don't take us seriously. Nor do they feel that McNabb is a threat to them.

My text to my future son-in-law last night, much to my dismay a diehard Iggles fan, who in the past has only spoken of McNabb in terms usually reserved for Saints.

Text: "McNabb is now a Redskin."

Reply this morning: "Yeah I heard that on the radio this am..lol..well he is getting kinda old and washed up..I guess he will fit right in."

I'm not buying that.

I think they understand the risk they are taking, but Reid wouldn't trade him somewhere he didn't want to go.
