Not that it matters anyways because the Saints are getting our 3rd rounder because of the J.Brown trade.

McNabb wasnt the same guy anymore. Age and Injuries ravaged him. After McNabb was put on the trade block, any smart team would have realized that Donovan only had 1 or 2 years left AT MAX. Donovan would have been best served on a team where all the pieces were there, and he could be a stopgap QB for 1 or 2 seasons. No one should have ever considered him the "solution" or worse yet, the "savior".
He never had a chance for any real success here. We had no running game, no o-line, ho-hum receivers, and a below average defense. I feel sorry for Donovan, but he has had his day and in his day he was one of the top QB's in the NFL. I wish him luck for the future, i hope he has one more good season somewhere and then retires while he is still healthy...
