Was McNabb misused in Minnesota also?

Donovan McNabb feels that Robert Griffin III will come up short in Mike Shanahan's offense, similar to McNabb's passes.

I think Mcnabb is spouting sour grapes with a bit of the truth thrown in there.
When I watch that video Im impressed with Mcnabbs play in that game.He was under constant heavy pass rush,he scrambled like the Mcnabb of old,he had at least 6 drops of very catchable balls,he did not look washed up at all to me in this game

McNabb basically said Shanahan has failed every QB under him, after Elway. Which is simply not true.

Dude has been....multiple offended in the last couple of years as the revolving doors of several teams have hit him in the ass. His ego (it appears) can't grasp......how done he is, and has been. I am sure he has several axe (plural?) to grind with those teams who in his eye have treated him shabbily. It must keep his schedule rather full......

Herm Edwards on M & M basically just completely disagreed with the assessment of Mc.... RG to the Skins.......imagine that.

I agree with McNabb 110%, even though what he said was in poor taste. They expected him to make the playoffs with one of the weakest offensive rosters in Redskins history. But this horse is dead, McNabb needs to go away now.

Any point is null and void the moment he was benched and outperformed by Rex Grossman. REX GROSSMAN!!!




Smoot, I will bribe you to use your contacts to make sure McDummy never gets a job as a analyst at ESPN.

I'm pretty sure he'll be one either for ESPN or NFL Network

Hope it's NFL network. I would stop watching ESPN if it means me having to hear that dumbass on a regular.

It was that one. And I think that's a really good way of stating it. The Eagles took a big risk putting McNabb in the division, and giving him to a coach with the reputation of Mike Shanahan.

Philadelphia had serious offers on the table from Washington and Oakland, but McNabb didn't want to go to Oakland because (at the time) they were a circus.


I thought i remembered there being something goofy with McNabb's contract that allowed him to have some say in who he was traded to. Not sure what this is susposed to mean:

If he were traded, McNabb, who doesn't retain a no-trade clause but does hold the power to decline contract offers, would prefer the Minnesota Vikings (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=min), according to a report in The Philadelphia Inquirer, which cited sources close to the situation.

Report: Philadelphia Eagles want draft pick among top 42 in deal with quarterback Donovan McNabb - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5028997)

Interestingly the article notes that Oakland was willing to trade Asomugha, but Philly not wanting it because the asking price was too high; Oakland wanted more then just McNabb.

Regardless of what all this says about our mistake is trading for McNabb, i think it really says a lot about how well run the philly front office is. I hate philly more then any other team, and i know/love that they have never won a superbowl, and that last year blew up on them, but i dont think many of us here would do the things philly did in the last few years very differently, amazingly even in retrospect.

Hope it's NFL network. I would stop watching ESPN if it means me having to hear that dumbass on a regular.

Well, from what I hear the alleged offer from NFL Network is more tempting

So is McNabb by all accounts going to retire?

Something else, what else would you expect McNabb to say? He is going to be done with football pretty soon and by saying something that some people will surely find truth in he is only bolstering his eventual broadcast career. And more importantly mending fences with the eagles. If he came out and spoke highly the Redskins it limits his post career success/tribute in philly.
