[quote=CRedskinsRule;682056]Now we get to be the NYJ of two years ago with McNabb for 1 year, then he will sit out and go to the Vikings and we get nothing... And lose a pick next year. First move from this new team that I absolutely don't like![/quote]
that's the 1 fear that I have about it all

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

This seems like a move that Ceratto would make. I thought we were building for the future, not this typical win now shit.

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

only positive is it means we won't end up with Vick. Yes I am having to reach deep to find a good spin on this for me. :vomit:

I'm pretty sure he can still out-play 90% of NFL QBs when healthy.
His shelf-life is 2 seasons and I'm good with that.

Just sayin...

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

I guess I'll be turning in my fan card until he's not on the team anymore. Oh well.

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

I guess this means that we're offseason champs one more year. McNabb AND controlling the flow of the NFL draft? With the ability to do that, who needs blocking or tackling?

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

i like it. OKUNG!!!!

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

How Can You Guys Be Loving This??

If it truly involves us losing a 2nd rounder, it wreaks of Dan Snyder so badly. McNabb is aging and hardly more than a pocket passer anymore, and he is very very very streaky with his accuracy.
And some of you think were getting a deal if we trade 1st rounders as well as our 2nd???
THIS IS AWFUL!

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

So does this mean that McNabb wants to come here? I thought he was against going to the Raiders...and maybe the Rams? I thought he wanted to go to Minny or AZ. And isn't he on the last year of his contract?

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

I love it. Nothing changes your fortunes like a QB. Keep in mind, nobody keeps INTs to a minimum like Donovan McNabb. I can find stats to back that up all day long.

Football is about turnovers. The 3-4 defense is designed to create them, and few QBs minimize them like Donovan does.

Is this insane or what. I'm talking to a friend who's a Philly fan and she's pissed.

McNabb apparently wanted to come to D.C. Interesting.

Ha ha, I don't think I've ever seen that many.

Hmmm, perhaps he'll break the Heath Shuler curse on jersey #5? After all, Colt didn't....

I think he's got longer than that. 3-5 quality seasons. He keeps himself in good shape.

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

I would imagine that there's no way we'd trade for him unless he was amenable to a contract extension with us. I'm sure we've already got a deal in place to extend him.

can't draft a lineman now right? how is this diff than drafting a lineman with the 1st and a QB with the 2nd as far as our line plan?

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

GREAT move! we are set at QB for the next 5 years. now we have plenty of time to fill our myriad of other needs and draft a franchise QB in 3-4 years. best QB we've had in twenty years.

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

[quote=Mattyk;682078]Just sayin...[/quote]No, you were right to correct me. The difference between 33 and 34 for a player like McNabb does make a BIG difference. We should lobby all we can to move the season up a couple months. I'm guessing Goodell isn't listening.

My snark wasn't directed at you, rather, pretty much everywhere at once.

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

WTF didnt see that coming

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

I hope that the 2nd round pick that they get for us busts hard

that's a damn fine pick to have

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

this move doesn't rule out a project like Lefevour or Snead -_-

though it's not what we all wanted, it's still out there

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

I have to admit I've been a McNabb fan going back to his SU days. Can't wait to get a #5 jersey.

New Theory: Shanny and BA were at home eating Easter dinner. Danny called Andy and said, listen my guys told me I had to make this deal. What will get it done. They said bring Zorn back, and Danny said can't do that, but I'll throw in a pick next year like Vinny would have done. Andy said SOLD, What plane you want him on?

McNabb probably is the best quarterback we've had in 20 years. But he's still the 4th best quarterback in the division, which means we're going to need to look elsewhere to get that competitive advantage against our rivals.

LaVar and Antonio wanted to play us twice a year two

after all that he's been through there of course he wants the chance to beat them

even Jansen's bum ass was butthurtedly happy about the Detroit win

ARE YOU KIDDING??? He has battled injuries almost every year! He rarely creates with his legs anymore....

Yet he's going to get up to 5 more quality seasons?

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

This is an immediate upgrade at the QB position. Bye bye JC finally!

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

[quote=Mattyk;682088]I think he's got longer than that. 3-5 quality seasons. He keeps himself in good shape.[/quote]

we only have him for 1 year as of now. He will be a Viking next year, my magic meatball guarantees it.

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

Just heard that in addition to the 37th pick, the Eagles get a conditional pick next year- either our 3rd or 4th. We now only have 4 picks in this years draft. Gotta think we're really going to try to trade down from 4th overall and/or trade a current player or two for more picks.

See ya Campbell.

I don't know how I feel about this yet. Gimmie some time to process.

Check his numbers he hasn't missed significant time in a season since 2006.

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

Not a fan of this move. Nothing against McNabb,but there are to many ways to get royaly screwed with this move. Risk vs Reward , once again a wait and see approach.If this dosen't work and he's gone after a year and we miss out on a great player with the draft pick we've given up.IDK what to say.....:confused:

def not getting the jersey.. no clue how long he'll be here, what he'll do, etc

I'll root my ass off for him but that's about it

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

Funny this the second blockbuster trade involving QBs between these two franchises. Wow!!

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

This is fine with me, we get a Tackle with the first pick, and now instead of drafting a second tier QB with the 2nd round pick, we get a starter and upper tier QB in the league. Get ready to see some of our players traded to acquire some more picks in this years draft. BYE BYE COOLEY????????????

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

This is like Shanny getting Elway, a franchise QB..

Re: McNabb a REDSKIN!
 

Next move.....sign T.O.

[quote=Eknox;682110]This is like Shanny getting Elway, a franchise QB..[/quote]

Yeah, I look forward to the day where people say "Well Shanahan has never won a Super Bowl without a QB named Elway or McNabb."

Poor JC. The irony of McNabb booting him off the team.
