McNabb a Redskin! (Part II)

'A shot in the arm' | Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sports/_A-shot-in-the-arm_-89965297.html)

In talking to several front office executives and an NFL talent evaluator, there was a unanimous opinion: The Redskins upgraded in a major way at quarterback by getting McNabb on Sunday night. And none of them thought the price (a second-round pick this year and either a third or a fourth rounder next year) was steep.


"This is a shot in the arm for the Redskins. They made a move to put a little energy into the team," he said. "You bring leadership, some veteran savvy, a guy that can make plays on the run and in the pocket. He brings the best out of everybody."
McNabb fits the description of quarterbacks favored by Shanahan: big, athletic and strong-armed. Shanahan likes to use play-action, bootlegs and rollouts -- more than what McNabb used in Philadelphia.

So who was that armchair GM that said all of the bolded as false? Yeah, the sparring continues.

I could see Marshall ending up here, not TO though.

Agreed. I do not think McNabb will want TO here. If McNabb does not want him here, then.....

So who was that armchair GM that said all of the bolded as false? Yeah, the sparring continues.I couldn't tell you who that was, I'm on the Idiot List (see post # 273). That being said, I guess we can add John Keim's sources to this list too. ;)

I can't see either here. TO had a fallout with DMac, BM had a fallout with Shanny.

So who was that armchair GM that said all of the bolded as false? Yeah, the sparring continues.I don't know of anyone who said all the bolded is false. I assume you have a reading comprehension problem, and you're talking about me suggesting that you might be overrating the effect of some unproven (but not disproven) in-the-box/out-of-pocket factors that would suggest that maybe, McNabb was being completely misused in Philadelphia.

For certain, the premise that McNabb was out of place in the Eagles offense he helped build is a weak point that you hang on to. I never said that it was completely without evidence whatsoever, I just asked you to produce some.

Your weakness here is obvious, but I guess I'm happy for you that you found someone to throw out some one-liner cliches that just happen to match what you've said. That's kind of convenient, actually.

I couldn't tell you who that was, I'm on the Idiot List (see post # 273). That being said, I guess we can add John Keim's sources to this list too. ;)Your idiot list is a strawman. No one should be graded off of one move, as SmootSmack pointed out. But since it's your list, and I'm on record rejecting that it's representative of anything I believe, go ahead with it. Can't help you.

the shtick never dies haha

Hey man, I'm about to get a sizeable contract extension with a nice signing bonus. You think you could lower the taxes on the rich for a year or two, maybe even 3 years?

Donovan, should've stuck with your fellow McName if you wanted that

I could see Marshall ending up here, not TO though.

I think they would really want to have T.O. The only reason they might not take him is to protect Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly. But I still say its gonna happen. we'll see.

I agree with you that Marshall is another that may end up here.
