Anyone bothered that McNabb STILL has no new contract??

[htownskinfan]

After the houston game I was like Wow,this is what its like to have a great qb.But he's been downhill since.Then when they showed that stat last week how his qb rating drops dramatically in the 2nd half,I was like damn,thats bad news.But then he had a pretty good 2nd half against the colts.
Right now Mcnabb is not near as good as I thought he was going to be,were winning games in spite of him instead of because of him.
But having said that,I would still want him back without overpaying him,but i dont see that happening.I think its going to go down to us either waiting to long to do something and pissing him offto where he wont want to sign,or we overpay to keep him.

What I'd really like to see is for the Skins to make a serious running at trying to snatch Manning away from Indy.

Wishful thinking, but no way Indy lets him sniff the open market.

If it were not for our D, this is an 0-7 or 1-6 team at best.

Don't you curse The McNabb like that !

We have won games because McNabb has made some big plays for us but you cannot survive winning of a few big plays week after week. In Phil he had some bad games but would turn around and have great games. So far here its one great game and the rest not so great except for some bog plays.

Seriously wishful thinking. That fan base would get out the torches and pitchforks if Polian let Manning escape.

It is wishful thinking but anything can happen if the timing and offer is right. I dont think anyone ever thought Joe Montana would leave SF, Joe Namath leave the Jets, Johnny U leave the Colts, or Favre not be a Packer. It unlikely but the Skins have $ and an owner that isnt afraid to spend it.

True, but Manning is neither a shell of his former self nor do the Colts have an obvious heir apparent sitting on their bench as was the case the players and teams you mentioned

I want us to groom or pick up a QB with some promise. Let McNabb go at the end of the year. We can win without him, because of our developing running game. If we keep him, he's gonna choke in the bigger games the next 2 or 3 years like he did the end of last year in those back to back games against Dallas. I just don't have the faith in him to win playoff games at this point. I know what he did in the past, but that was the past.

True but like I said if the timing and offer are right Manning wont care what QB the Colts have waiting in the wings. Who would have imagined the Eagles would have traded McNabb to a division rival. When it comes to sports I never say never.

McNabb and Cutelr were not the only good Qb's to have a bad game last Sunday. A certain Superbowl MVP Drew Brees threw FOUR interceptions against CLEVELAND! HA! F-ing Cleveland.
Should New Orleans look to dump Mr. Brees? No.
It is tough to be good every week in the NFL. That all I was trying to say.
McNabb is a solid NFL QB. Not the best, but certainly not the worst. I am fine with him. I like his leadership and ability to bring the players together. His teammates respect him. I think you Fantasy football types want us to throw the ball every down are not happy. Just win baby!

[rbanerjee23]

I would like to keep him one year and have his replacement be drafted and have a year to learn. This coming year's quarterback class is pretty deep and there's no reason we can't get a decent QB.

Nobody is perfect. Mcnabb will have an occasional bad game or two or three until all the pieces come together for the Redskins offense and coaching staff. Same with our defense. Our coaches are just now stariting to let AH play. Wow,what a revelation on their part.

Why stop at Peyton Manning. We should make a run at Adrian Peterson, DeMarcus Ware, and Andre Johnson too.

Brees has won a SB, Mc5 hasn't. Not a good comparison.
