But the principle mistake of assuming that the grass is always greener on the other side hasn't changed.

Still, landing a top offensive tackle at No. 4 can make our offense greatly improved no matter who is behind center (McNabb, Campbell doesn't really matter).

Where this trade is a killer is in future seasons when McNabb simply isn't good enough to be an NFL quarterback, but we give him a Delhomme type extension. The 2010 Redskins probably aren't any better or worse off, the 2011-2013 Redskins are a LOT worse off now than they were yesterday.

Are you saying Campbell is as good as Mcnabb ? I hope not. U sound like a Philly fan. Mcnabb never gets the respect he deserves.

Thank you. If I was already dead I could finally head off towards the light. Be careful though with the vommiting. If you keep doing that you won't live long enough to see McNabb win a Super Bowl with us

And my long enough I mean 3 or 4 years.

Yeah, but unless you've already got an agreement in place, JC's trade value takes a big hit. If there already is an agreement why not go ahead and make the announcement?

I'll admit McNabb is better then JC at reading defenses but otherwise he's a lateral move. He and JC are about equal in stats and McNabb had a better OL. I'll always take the younger guy.

Make a trade Shanny and move up to #1 for Bradford.

It is already difficult and surreal to root for McNabb, but I must try.

I don't have to root for him till September. At that point I will be over it, but for now, I am hoping this all works in some mysterious triple reverse, back flip, flee flicker that results in us having 10 picks this year, plus Bradford and Okung.

No one's wanted to give us anything for Campbell for a while now.

Now that we don't need a QB I'm going to just start addressing Bradford as Alex Smith.

Hey you told us that we weren't trading for McNabb. I feel like I don't even know you anymore, even though technically I don't know you, but I feel like......hey bumper cars.

if i'm not mistaken didnt Sonny get traded back in 64' from Philly to the Skins. Universe repeating itself ;-)

It's almost a given that we're going to draft a QB at some point. But there's no question they are assembling a win now team.

It may be new management, but the goal has remained the same. I concur with the idea we might move Cooley and Campbell soon.

Not soon enough

The 2010 Redskins aren't worse with McNabb than Campbell, but I mean, no evidence I can find suggests they are better (like, meaningfully so). And with that in mind, the only thing this does is takes a bold risk where perhaps a more conservative draft building approach would have sufficed.

I think McNabb is a better fit here than plenty of the alternatives, but the bottom line is that we're buying name recognition. The big move comes at No. 4, as this is insignificant to that.

Ha, I appreciate the irony. Although now I'm holding my breath for redskins chunky soup commercials...

Stupid, stupid, stupid. McNabb doesn't necessarily make us a contender automatically. He couldn't get the job done last season with a superior WR corp than we have. We needed that #37 pick to shore up the line or get a possible new franchise QB. It is a gutsy move and I like it, but I don't think Donovan is such a head and shoulders imrprovement over JC since our team is inferior to Philly in many depts.
