Re: Source:McNabb to ask for release after season.
Yeah, but how much of that was the usual bandwagon jumping? His success rate was spotty at best.

Miami is really intriguing because there's a lot going on there. They have some talent at WR, a good OL and somewhat of a running game (but I think both are FA this year). Ross wants a big name as a coach but I don't see Cowher or Gruden coming. Fisher, maybe but Childress could emerge here as well. If Fisher is fired and Chilly doesn't go to Miami, he could land in Tennessee. That's the McNabb link. Together, they could make the Dolphins a contender in the AFC East. The biggest mistake we did with McNabb was trying to change who he was. If we accepted that he was a 6 rather than a 10 and worked with that then our offense may have performed better. I blame Shanny(s) for being a bit stubborn because as many observers noted, this is who McNabb is.. He will hit the big plays, be inaccurate at times, make some plays with his feet and be comfortable doing what he likes to do.

There will be a new coach who wants a veteran at QB to lean on Dmac will be dealt and we will get some of what we gave up to get him.

Which time? The Detroit game, definitely a dumb move. The second benching, nope. I agree wholeheartedly that the best for the Redskins at the point of the team being eliminated from the playoffs was sitting McNabb and seeing what we have with Grossman. So far, it's been a pretty decent move.

Seeing Grossman behind center makes me think we could have address other areas of need while playing a mediocre QB; and set things up for that QB of the future in the 2011 draft.

In terms of "surprise value":

Re: Source:McNabb to ask for release after season.
Here's one thing I can attest to. After listening to my local sports show's (SF Bay Area) the DM5 chatter is starting to pick up. I can't count how many callers, and hosts have suggested that they bring in DM5 and draft Kellan Moore in the second round.
Now I doubt the ownership is going to make a move based on what the fans want, however it's interesting to hear the buzz. I think SF is the best fit for him. I really hope he goes there. |

Re: Source:McNabb to ask for release after season.
but is McNabb the best fit for Minny? I think that they'll be looking past the let's get a QB that can win us a SB mode this year.. Tavaris has shown flashes of being starter material and Joe Webb last night did a couple of things to make you say hmm

Re: Source:McNabb to ask for release after season.
DM says whatever makes him look best at the moment. He has his agent say everything publicly in order to protect his image. I can't stand that passive aggressive bs. He did it in Philly, and he's doing it here.

Re: Source:McNabb to ask for release after season.
DM has been playing both sides so I really wouldn't take much stock in anything he says right now. He might say "I" won't ask for a release, but that doesn't mean his agent won't.

I agree it is getting old and now looking back at the TO thing maybe DM was not such the innocent little victim that he played in that fight.

IMO the end of that SB shows a lot of what the Shanny's were saying about DM is true. When he has to move the O at a fast pace and think fast on his feet he really struggles. |
