My guess is that Shanahan doesn't like Campbell, doesn't like Clausen, and doesn't think McCoy will be available with the 37th pick. That's the only way this move makes sense to me, because while it unarguably makes us better next year, it does not lay the foundation for a legitimate championship run for the immediate future. We still need a QB for that - a legit franchise QB - and McNabb be not he. I find talk of Donovan giving us five or even three productive years wildly optimistic. I put the over/under at two. This is not Brett Favre who played basically his entire career injury free. McNabb is a guy whose career was in free-fall after suffering severe season ending injuries in 06 and 07; a guy whose physical condition has always been a question mark. A guy who will be playing behind a line without a single entrenched starter.

I don't support this move, although I am praying that McNabb forces me to eat a hot steaming plate of crow at some point. I like him fine as a guy, although as an Eagles hater I always enjoyed watching him invariably meltdown in big moments.

Anyway, we'll see....
