McNabb a REDSKIN!

[luke4twenty]

True, while Oakland/Buffalo do make us look a lot better, don't discount the fact that he gets to put it to the Eagles twice a year now...maybe it will juice him up a little.

Y wouldn't Mcnabb want Washington. Shannahan,Allen plus a owner that will pay and u get a chance to make the Eagles regret the decision at least 2 times a year if not 3.

He's not better than Schaub.

I think our receivers will react positively to this change at quarterback, but ultimately, there just isn't a lot of upside at our receiver position.

Wow...I think this is great, McNabb is a probowl QB, all he needs is a decent offensive line and a few subpar recievers and we are set for at least the next 4 years.....

any word on a press conference time?

Mandatordy dodgeball practice? Really?

Have the Skins commented on this yet? Reid is giving a press conference now. But nothing at Redskins.com

[luke4twenty]

JC may now either be used as a trading chip, or, we have the best depth at the QB position that I can remember. Interesting to see what we do with JC, I mean, its gotta suck to be him.

Well, we've got the subpar receivers already. Let's hear it for internal player development!

For real.

This trade makes me "sick", if you catch my drift.

[luke4twenty]

Nah, nothing from the Skins yet, they are keeping pretty quiet so far.

Y r we so down on our receivers. Kelly started playing better last year and Thomas was really starting to do big things at the end of the year.

Think about how good Donovan McNabb made the following receivers look:

LJ Smith
Brent Celek
Dante Stallworth

Chris Cooley and Fred Davis are better than their Eagle equivalents in my opinion, and Santana Moss is a rich man's version of Stallworth. Some people may argue Moss is not a #1 receiver, but was Stallworth?

The only issue is if McNabb will mesh with Shanahan's system. Obviously he was a perfect fit for Reid, but will he be for Shanahan?

Chances are that he is, but there's always that unknown variable.

The other nightmare scenario now is if the Rams go Suh, and the Lions take Okung, then Bradford falls to 4, but they can't draft him now. Plus, with Okung gone, we are left with a RT option at #4.
