The lack of draft picks and FA available made this year more of a "do what we can to hold over till next year". Trading for McNabb and Brown were quality moves imo because it gave him a leader he could trust (or was the thinking when he traded for McNabb) and a former pro-bowler to protect him who was seen at the time as a definite upgrade over Heyer.
The WR situation has left something to desire (would love to see Williams and Galloway released in favor of Austin and anyone else, including the new PS addition - Taurus) but I believe that will be addressed in next years draft.

I have to agree with you. I hoped we would not have been interested in McNabb. I kept seeing injured McNabb and McNabb who throws dirt balls and over throws his receivers, however in hind sight perhaps a really good move cause McNabb probably has kept us in the games we have been in.
The benching issue I have no problem with since Reid even benched McNabb. Shanahan has benched QB's also. As long as he's fair and consistant I have not problem with it, but I don't think I would have done it in the game he did it in. If we are definitly losing a game then take him out to keep him from getting injured and see what Grossman can do. To be down only a TD and take out probably one of the best last minute QB's in the league for a QB that has not played all season and is sitting on the bench cold was not a bright thing to do. But the team did look flat and MS was looking for a spark. To bad he wasn't honest with the media about it.
