McNabb to Redskins

[MaTH716]

As a Giant fan, I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I respect McNabb tremendously. I think the guy is a warrior and has never been embraced during his tenure in Philly. For them to trade him within the division, is a huge slap in Mcnabb's face if you ask me. Basically I feel it's the Eagles saying you're washed up and we are not worried about having to face you twice a year.
We will see about Kolb, but it seems that the defense is the bigger problem with that team these days. As far as the Skins go, once again Mcnabb is stuck with a team with absolutely no weapons at reciever. He had that problem so many years in Philly and now he has it in Washington. He should make them better, but I believe that they still have a way to go. I think it's a good deal for both teams, the Eagles get a change that might shake things up and take them to the next level and the Skins get an upgrade at QB.

I don't think Santana Moss and Randle-El are bad and Cooley is one of the best TE in the league.

I actually like Cooley. Not a big Randle El guy, just look at him as a gimmick/wildcat option. Moss is a guy that just seems to get disheartened and just ends up disapearing. Maybe that's a product of Jason Campbell being your QB or maybe the guy is just a dog. I guess we'll see how he does with Mcnabb throwing his way, but either way it's a major step down talent wise from what he's coming from in Philly. It's actually funny, they finally have the weapons for him to throw to and they get rid of him.

Randle El is gone.

randal el was released by the skins, he's back with the steelers.

I don't think the Eagles trading McNabb inside their division to the Redskins was a slap in the face. They wanted a Top 40 pick and the only other team that was really showing interest was the Raiders. He's in the last year of his contract and the Eagles wanted to move on and see what Kolb can do. Considering there was not much interest in the aging QB getting a high 2nd round pick in a very deep draft was a good move.

Randle-El was cut, and I wanna say he may be back in Pittsburgh, but don't quote me on that.

Im going to go out on a limb here. I say they make the playoffs. They have a defense that could be dominant if they don't have to be on the field too long. They have a coach that is one of the best offensive minds in the sport. They are in a division where two of the teams are rebuilding.

Why can't they get a wildcard? I bet Vegas will put them out at 6 wins max and I would take the over on that.

Really? I'd have guessed higher.

Front page of the Washington Post sports section today discusses the Redskins dangling Albert Haynesworth as trade bait. People who think this team could be a playoff contender are coo coo crackers.

been out there for a while, he made it pretty obvious last season publicly that he can't play in the 3-4 system. couple 2nds or a 1st and 3rd would be good in my eyes, interested to see if tampa tries and get since we allegedly took him from them

I think they wanted to trade Haynesworth before they paid him a $21,000,000 bonus last week. I doubt they are looking to move him still.

I'm thrilled to have a proven Pro Bowl QB like McNabb in Burgundy and Gold. I was a Campbell guy, I think the guy still has potential to be a player in this league, that guy has taken a beating here, and hasn't had much to work with as far as a supporting cast. I would guess he wouldn't be wanting to stay around and be the back up, although he could learn a ton from McNabb. It may come back to bite the Eagles in the ass twice a year, but I believe Andy Reid did the right thing for Donovan, as well as took the option that Mcnabb felt comfortable with, if he had to be the one that was shipped out. Let's face it, who da hell would want to banished to the freakin Raiders at this point! Not that they couldn't use a QB, because they need to send Ja-aWful Russell packing, because he is an embarrassment to the league. I can see both sides of this, it was the best place to send McNabb, but it is crazy to send him to a division rival. What also thrills me, is that we didn't have to surrender the 4th pick overall to get this deal done! Now we get a left tackle with that pick, and we get back to contention level sooner than later. I'm not ready to say we will win the division. The Cowboys are still the class of the East, but things just got a whole helluva lot more competitive.
