[quote=Mattyk;752891]From the article, pretty much sums it up for me:
[QUOTE]No disrespect intended to the professional Grossman, but there's a reason why he's a backup. Actually, many reasons.

He helped the Chicago Bears reach the Super Bowl in his best season as a starter in 2006 (3,193 yards passing, 23 touchdowns, 20 interceptions), but he failed to keep the job and no longer is considered a starting-caliber NFL quarterback. That's not a criticism. It's a fact.[/quote]

Yeah, but can Donovan do THIS?

Well with his current stats I guess he is not concerned right now until they improve and they really only have room to go up.

[quote=SolidSnake84;749501]Is anyone else bothered that we are almost half way into this season and our QB, Donovan still doesnt have a new contract??? I may be paranoid, but it makes me think that maybe Shanahan doesnt have faith in him to be his long-term QB.

We know with his injuries and advancing age, that McNabb maybe only had about 2 or 3 years left when he was traded here. Do you think that is a factor on why he hasnt been re-signed? Maybe they are worried about giving him big money when he could only have 1 year left or they dont want to sign him to a longer term deal because he is an injury concern..

I searched and hadn't seen any new threads on this in a while, and just wanted to weigh in now that the season is about halfway....[/quote]

Not at all. If we can avoid another lengthy overpaid contract and not Mark Brunell again that would be great. I would expect Shanahan to want to groom a young talent but who knows if he is up to the challenge and has the time for that. Draft picks arent a luxury we have.

Does anyone know of what QB's that will be Free Agents next year. In my dreams Brees becomes available.

[quote=Deisel;752305]Partially new to this forum

Does anyone feel like they're in Philly?? Seriously, 7 games and McNabb doesnt deserve to be a Skin? Just let him go after the season? It's the FIRST year under a totally NEW regime for the Skins on top of McNabb's first year on the team! I actually have confidence in our offense right now when on the field. Sure he hasn't been awesome but I don't believe he's lost any games for us. We still have tons of work to do to get this team to where Shanny wants it, tons. We're 4-3, you couldnt ask for anything more right now. We've also been in every game. I'm sure both sides are just fine in terms of a contract. Let's just take it a week at a time.[/quote]

I remember aside from all the hype in pre-season, I think the OL hasn't failed (only DDockery) Portis done but Torrain stepped up, havent seen FDavis utilized in a dual TE gameplan, the WR's are performing as expected except Moss is excelling and teams arent trying to take him away yet. I think McNabb is doing great. Campbell would have lost games Don. at least has made 80-90 yard drives and been a real leader on the field. I worry about the times we have good field position and can't capitalize. Not just b/c I bought the wife and I McNabb jerseys but i say keep him ust dont over pay. In another year when we have a worthy backup or another great veteran (Rex not talking about you) we will pass the reins. IMO.

I just heard the same the on the NFL network.

Re: Anyone bothered that McNabb STILL has no new contract??
 

Not to down play this, but it just strikes me as the team trying to smooth over things a bit given all the drama lately.

Re: Anyone bothered that McNabb STILL has no new contract??
 

^ yea I agree matty.. I wonder if they will extend him for 1 or 2 years? Maybe longer

Agreed. It worked in Philly.

1) McNabb benched as a wake up call, then
2) McNabb responded by playing well but feeling hurt, then
3) hurt feelings soothed with money

Re: Anyone bothered that McNabb STILL has no new contract??
 

Whether we like it or not we're stuck with McNabb for a few years. Just cause there is no extension doesn't mean anything. To be honest I really don't think there is going to be a big market for him anyway. He may not have a choice but to resign here.

Re: Anyone bothered that McNabb STILL has no new contract??
 

I would think the Cards and Vikes would be very interested in him.

At this point is Tavarus Jackson any worse than McNabb?? I don't know... I'd expect the Cards to go with one of the guys in the draft.

Re: Anyone bothered that McNabb STILL has no new contract??
 

Jackson hasn't proven anything yet in this league. You're kidding yourself if you don't think there would be a market for McNabb.
