Prospects for McNabb in Minny

Ray Didinger has covered the NFL for more than 35 years for newspapers and as a producer at NFL Films. He is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a writer.

Here is his assessment of Donovan McNabb's prospects in Minnesota...

Re: Prospects for McNabb in Minny

Why do we need a new thread about a player who is no longer here?

We already have a current McNabb thread too.

Re: Prospects for McNabb in Minny

I'd rather read about John Beck's prospects here in Washington. No offense but nobody is going to give much of a crap about McNabb's prospects in Minny, most of us have already moved on.

His prospects include heading out to the Mall of America.

Please tell me, does your brain like to fart a lot?

Re: Prospects for McNabb in Minny

I like McNabb and wish him well in Minn. I believe the offensive system there is more similar than dissimilar to Reid's so maybe he'll feel more comfortable right off the bat?

Just a guess here - - but I think he would prefer never to think of his season as a Redskin too.

I'll think of his time as a Redskin much as I'll think of Jason Taylor's time as a Redskin: nonexistent in the annals of Redskins history. Or better yet, that 2nd round pick that never saw a return on its' investment.

I will admit I'm still curious to know if that tidbit I read about Kyle Shanahan warning his dad not to trade for him is true. But then again we'll probably never know.

mooby:

There are more than a few "sources who refuse to be identified" who say that Kyle Shanahan did NOT want to trade for Donovan McNabb before the trade was made and that he was convinced that McNabb was not going to play QB the way he wanted it played after the first or second practice with McNabb.

That is not "proof" but there are enough of these "anonymous sources" that I believe that Kyle Shanahan was against the trade from the time it was first proposed. Just my opinion...

Wow, look at how depressed he looks. What did we do to him?

That is what seems to be the word. I do tend to believe that, it's just a shame knowing that we probably gave up a 2nd round pick for a guy our offensive coordinator didn't want. Oh well. You live and you learn, hopefully.
