Ditto, thought it was all hot air. Man the trade better not have favored the Eagles...

Not happy at this minute...

Hail to the Redskins · 04-04-2010, 08:25 PM

I'm with Matty...

I like it... I wonder what this means for Campbell??

I'm sure it was for the 2nd round pick... we were higher in the 2nd than pretty much everyone else interested.

I think McNabb will do well for the Shannies! Most legit QB we've had in YEARS!

Just heard that in addition to the 37th pick, the Eagles get a conditional pick next year- either our 3rd or 4th. We now only have 4 picks in this years draft. Gotta think we're really going to try to trade down from 4th overall and/or trade a current player or two for more picks.

See ya Campbell.

I don't know how I feel about this yet. Gimmie some time to process.

Yeah def a bit back and forth on this. Overall McNabb can do great things which is an upgrade over what we have. Is he better than using that 2nd on someone else? I don't know, guess it would depend who was there. This probably would've made for a more interesting draft day trade but it looked like they were trying to get McNabb moved ASAP as that's what McNabb requested.

definitely bittersweet

:screama:

Me too. I don't even know how to feel about it.

On the bright side, I talked to the BIGGEST, DIEHARD EAGLES FAN I KNOW this morning and she said "After 31 years, I've had enough". She has been a huge McNabb fan since her fellow Eagles fans acted like idiots when they drafted him...she rooted for him as an underdog. She's now going to support him on the Redskins and said she's had enough with the Eagles sabotaging their team. She mentioned trading Dawkins, letting Westbrook go, even this weekend with trading away 2 defensive starters in Chris Gocong and Sheldon Brown.

(Yes, she's a woman but actually one of the more knowledgeable football fans I know...she goes to Canton for vacations, seriously.)

I'm in shock. I have never been able to stand McNabb and think his best years are behind him as I was telling a Raiders fan on Friday (I thought for sure he'd go to Oakland).

I don't like giving up a 2nd-round pick for him because the O-line needs that pick.

However, I think I'd rather let the Shanahan/McNabb combo try to bring a Super Bowl than have us draft Bradford or Claussen and miss out on Okung. Now it looks like Okung is a lock for the #4 pick, which I love. If somehow Okung is not there at #4, we could trade down with a team like the 49ers and end up with 2 first-round picks to use on 2 linemen...because there are a lot of good ones available this year.

So, I'm at a wait-and-see. I am wondering if we should keep JC around, because McNabb doesn't play 16 games anymore. I don't want to rely on Rex Grossman.

I just pray this backfires on Philly, and I believe it will. You don't trade good players inside your division! I have no clue what they're thinking.

I even had a Steeler fan say they hope McNabb succeeds in Washington and he goes into the HOF as a Skin. Hey...if he finally gets his only Super Bowl win here...

Colt Brennan...nice knowing you. Thanks for the preseason memories.

Just got a text from a friend, frantically searching for a link.

Man oh man I hope we didn't give up too much for him...

skinsfan_nn · 04-04-2010, 08:18 PM

Is this a joke......

Or is McScab here and JC on the way out the door.

Hail to the Redskins · 04-04-2010, 08:19 PM

It's for real... just have to find the link.

McNabb has been acquired by the Washington Redskins.
