McNabb a REDSKIN!

[53Fan]

I've just read 26 pages on something I never even considered would ever really happen. Shock would be an understatement. It's hard to even comment on this. It will definitely take a while to sink in and by that time, there will probably be more changes. This was one hell of a curveball. What's next? I'm finally at a loss for words which at this time is probably for the best.

Sorry, this is way too funny.

This just doesn't seem like a new regime. Cerrato is smiling right now or is Snyder tweaking his roster on Madden 10.

There has been no contract discussion, so it's not outside the realm of possibility McNabb is traded on draft day. What do we know:

1) We're not "boxed in" on a starting LT or QB at #4.
2) The FO does not have enough faith in Campbell to go into the season with him as the starting option at QB.
3) We will likely be making more trades either right before or during the draft for picks in the 2-3 round range.

Let's say we stand pat, McNabb is a major upgrade over Campbell (if healthy) for the next two seasons. We will come away with one of the top 2 LTs or more picks in the first round, or both. What did we lose, our second rounder....who many here were saying to use on Colt McCoy. McNabb is light years ahead of what McCoy will ever be.

Good post. And I totally agree with everything you said. I could see him traded on draft day, just not sure to whom.

One way or another, we've got to acquire more draft picks.

Shefter just said JC will be traded for sure and possibly for a 2nd rd pick... He also said Shanny called JC and told him the teams plans.

Trevor Matich also just said the Skins could become an instant Playoff contender today.

How, it's like playing poker, and showing your cards before the last raise. Do this on draft day and package all the deals. Do it now,and Buffalo knows when to call our bluff.

Seriously. I mean, look at our offense! Larry Johnson, Clinton Portis, Willie Parker, Santana Moss, Donovan McNabb?? Wooot! Circa 2006, I'd be like, CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Sigh.....

[skinsfaninok]

I honestly think McNabb can make us a legit contender only if we upgrade our Oline instantly.

I just feel that Campbell has gotta be a better back up option than Charlie Whitehurst. I hope we get something for Campbell.

and McNabb had....

Desean Jackson!

And Campbell got a bunch of completions from screens and garbage time. More important to look at more detailed stats:

QB Rate - McNabb = 92.9, JC = 86.4
TD% (TDs / Pass Att) - McNabb = 5.0, JC = 3.9
INT % (INT / Pass Att) - McNabb = 2.3, JC = 3.0
Adjusted Net Yds per ATT (complicated) - McNabb = 6.9, JC = 5.6

McNabb - 5 Time Pro Bowler, JC.....

[Son Of Man]

gave up our 2010 2nd round pick and our 3rd or 4th next year!!!

Great trade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mechanix544]

Donovan will be the QB this year and for 4 - 6 years to come. NOw lets try to move 'los, JC, Carter and one of our TE's for some picks.

[IRISHSKIN24]

I'll take the deal. McNABB is still good for a few years. draft a qb in the later rounds, let him grow the Skins will be fine.
