Like I said in another thread, I really didn't and don't have a problem with the trade for McNabb but along with that move last year should have been a move to add a QB for the future. It's not Beck, and I really doubt they went into training camp with thoughts that Colt would be that guy.

Exactly. I'm fine with trading for guys like Campbell, McIntosh, Carriker, etc., guys that fit your current system and you see being the long term future. If I was the Redskins though, I wouldn't want to trade for an established vet unless the guy coaching him was familiar with him from some previous spot in their career. I feel like we trade for vets, then ask them to do something they aren't used to, they don't like it, and either get out of here through bitching or playing unproductively so they are forced out.
As has been mentioned by 44 70 chip, a lot of those trades he listed were for players our coaching staff had no familiarity with, and we all know how a lot of those moves panned out.
As for your post SS, I think the Skins use a high draft pick on a qb this year. This draft is particularly qb heavy and I do think since the qb we draft won't be a top 5, starter from day 1 kinda guy, we need to give him a season or two to sit under McNabb and watch before the reigns get handed to him.
