I won't be surprised if that was the case and if he worked out here even better. In the end the NFL is a business and maybe the McNabb move was just that a business move to hide the fact we have a long way to go.

If DS and company came right out and said this was a rebuilding year the bottom line for 2010 would look a lot different then a win now attitude about 2010.

That's a good observation, it's not as if the team has to stamp "win now" or "rebuilding" on its tickets, so they could be doing a little of both. I do think that Snyder has likely instructed everyone that they will not say "rebuilding" in public.

To me, this team has been in some form of rebuilding every other year since Snyder came in. When you change coaches there is always some 'rebuilding,' call it whatever you want.

My point is that they gave up a couple valuable picks, e.g. that 2nd rounder could've gotten us Colt McCoy if I'm not mistaken. To do that for a 33 yr. old says on the surface that you think you can win in 1-3 years. I think you're right in that they are trying to stay competitive while making some major changes. This offeason should be interesting & I look forward to seeing if Allen & Shanny can make some moves to stockpile picks.
