Hypothetical, unlikely or both?
Could Donovan McNabb return to the Redskins? | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins (http://realredskins.com/2011/07/could-donovan-mcnabb-return-to-the-redskins/)
Could happen, I still think the chances are slim.

I still think it'd be beneficial for both parties if McNabb stayed with the Redskins for one more season. But all signs point to this being very unlikely.

Getting McNabb on line with being a team.....asset and building a workable, productive relationship with Shanny light may prove to be something akin to the current labor negotiation.

Cause Dan Snyder is the owner. I don't think it's just the media. The owner said that Gibbs made the playoffs in year to and he would expect the same thing. I'm paraphrasing but he said something like that.
This is not a playoff team, and everyone, including he media, the fans, the coaches and the owner need to realize that. It's going to take time. I'm ok with that as long as I don't see Redskins One flying all over the place to over pay other teams players.
I agree, I think what people need to see is some improvement, ANY improvement over what Zorn gave us and last year's debacle. The thing is we are a very crappy football team. We show some moments of decent football, but suck most of the time.

The bigger question is why does MS have to turn this thing around over night? Cerrato took 10 years to ruin this team and now whoever we bring in MUST turn this thing around over night? WTF? MS signed a 5 yr deal. In my opinion he has 5 yrs to get this thing fixed, or atleast get it heading into the right direction. If at the 5 yr mark the team is 75 to 100% better then resign MS and let him finish the job.
I'm sooo tired of the DC media and fans expecting over night success. Use your brains.... if it took 10 yrs to screw this thing up its going to take more then 1 or 2 yrs to straighten this thing out. Hopefully we do better then 8-8, but if we end up 8-8 I'll accept that because there is a lot of work to do. 9-7 and or better would be nice. As long as they are showing improvement individually and as a team.
You also have to understand the media outlets, especially the going extinct papers, need to generate controversy to stay afloat or relevant. The 24/7 news cycle makes this a necessity.

Where will McNabb land?
The bigger picture is where will Bret Favre land? lol. Didn't he just come out and say he's not done? Is he refering to playing or coaching? I think his playing days are over unless a team has one awsome OL to protect him. But I could see him being a QB coach for someone.

The McNabb situation is going to be one of the most closely watched when the lockout ends.

He's been saying all along he's done. Gil Brandt mentioned in a chat recently that he thinks Favre would be interested in playing and that fired up the rumor mill again.

While no team-player contact was 'supposed' to be happening during the lockout, I'm sure there was plenty of team-team conversations about 'what if' and deals are already in place for some of the key players involved. McNabb to Tennessee seems like a perfect fit. A team in need of a veteran QB, with a rookie to groom, good running game, decent receivers, he can immediately be the starter. Especially with Collins gone, they aren't going into camp with Locker and Rusty Smith..
