Yeah, and to be honest, 2 years seemed like a best case scenario. He may have 3-5 years left as a quarterback in this league I'm sure, but we didn't trade a 2nd and 3rd round pick for "a guy who is a quarterback in this league."
We obviously wanted the old, classic Donovan McNabb, but 8 games in, it's clear we're never going to get that player no matter how much money you throw at him. The bigger question is, what will we have if we keep him on a franchise tender, and is he worth it?
We've got 8 games to figure it out, plus a playoff game if we can beat the Eagles out for 2nd in this division.
