No QB is worth a 7 game difference. Especially McNabb. He's not going to be much of a change from Campell or Cambell however it was spelled. Skins are still old and have no Offensive Line. McNabb gets sacked more than average cause he wont throw the ball away, he's going to be sacked all the time next year. Shanahan will make the Skins improve a little... McNabb, not so much, or the Eagles wouldnt have traded him to the Skins (that tells you a lot right there). Kolb will be more productive than McNabb next year. McNabb will be similar to Jason Cambell in the results department. The only thing that will help McNabb this year is that Washington actually runs the ball. The Eagles offensive weapons are so much better than Washingtons.
Eagles have issues, at the moment I see them as a 9 game winner next year. The current players like Kolb more than McNabb, they respect him as a leader, one who leads by example. The defense is just too young and the O - line has some question marks so I dont see the Birds making the playoffs.
Skins will be a little better because Shanahan. I can see them improving to a 6 win, possibly 7 win team. There is no fucl<ing way that they win more games than the Eagles next year. I'm willing to bet a night on the town at the Spa on that (dinner and drinks whenever I make it to Toga again).

I see both teams as 7 win teams with the Redskins having more upside. They were 4-12 last year but they were outscored by 70 points. Jacksonville was outscored by 98 last year and went 7-9. They don't have to improve that much to win 3 or 4 more games, they just have to pull out a few close ones and that is where Campbell to McNabb is huge.
And don't overlook those two receivers going into their 3rd years, that is a huge breakout season for receivers and adding McNabb/Shanahan is only going to help them. Couple them with Fred Davis and there is a nice young group of receivers to throw to. At that point anything you get out of Cooley and Moss is just icing on the cake. Yeah, the running backs are pathetically old but there are three of them and maybe you can still get some production out of them with McNabb to take some pressure off. And I think we can all agree that the defense wasn't bad at all last year, a lot better than 4-12.
