But was it a gamble worth taking? That's the question. Only now, with the benefit of hindsight do we know the answer.
If McNabb lights it up, plays in Hawaii for a year or two, and guides an infusion of young guys through the rebuilding process on the way to a playoff appearance here and there, the two draft picks you expended don't look so bad. Hell, if he turns in a performance a knotch or two below that it would have been worth the price.
Needless to say, McNabb didn't have anything close to that left in the tank, and Shanahan overestimated him, like many, many others.
I don't like the end result by any means but I'm not going to put Shanahan in front of the firing squad for it either.
