But the same could be said about drafting a QB. Whoever we bring in will have to learn the plays, play calls, and be comfortable in it. The rest of the team will be in year 2 of the system so they should know it better but the QB won't. Now if we keep McNabb he should have a better understanding of the system and should play better. However McNabb still has his issues of throwing over recievers and throwing dirt balls. He's not as mobile as he used to be as we saw this year and he's not the best QB during the last 2 min. of a game. But thats how he's always been. Ask any Eagles fan.

I am not really a sympathizer to either McNabb or AH. I am more disappointed in the way it was handled. Now AH and McNabb's trade value is almost zero, because all of the teams know we do want them or feel they are any value to us.
I am also pissed by the way news filters out of Redskins park under Shanahan in form of constant press leaks. It seems like amateur hour the way Shanahan has handled players in the press.
