I would bet lots of $$ that if McNabb was the qb, we would have lost our past two games. With McNabb, you know the team isnt going to come back. He was a very good qb up until 2005. ups and downs since then.. and overrated. but he is certainly someone you do not want to count on come crunch time, which is why we never got a SB. We had plenty of opportunities against the Pats.
I mean, the Skins benched him with 2 mins left and a 1 possession game.. for Rex Grossman. If that doesnt make my case than nothing will.

My argument was based on McNabb vs Kolb, and from what I remember Kolb did struggle a bit in his short time as QB. Obviously no one could have predicted Michael Vick playing at such a high level and having the sucess that he has had. But, you do have to admit that McNabb never had these types of weapons in all his years there. I don't know if they would be 9-4, but I believe that McNabb would have this team in playoff contention as well. I don't take any stock into the Grossman situation because I believe that Mike Shannahan isn't the genius that many people thinks he is.
