Mcnabb is a Redskins

The blog post for this on KissingSuzyKolber sums up my thoughts pretty well -- with this move and the recent acquisition of Willie Parker, the Redskins are now the favorites to win the 2004 Super Bowl.

Eagles should've gotten either a first rounder or another second for him, Redskins got a bargain. Still, if they can't get a line that can protect him, a runner that can get decent yards, or a receiver that can catch McNabb's not going to be any better off than he was in Philly.

McNabb but that's mainly because Campbell just isn't suited for the West Coast offense and is inaccurate.

[QUOTE="monkeytoes61"][QUOTE="Chutebox"] We've signed Willie Parker and Larry Johnson and have Clinton Portis. We'll also be using our 4th pick for an OL. While those backs are on the back of their careers, they should have a lot of effectiveness as they'll be switching in and out a lot. I'm still angry we got him though.Seabas989

That site was made a little bit after the whole Joe Namath/Suzy Kolber thing a few years ago. I don't really care for the name either, but the site itself is hilarious.

[QUOTE="monkeytoes61"] I know he is a big division rival for you, but think. Who would to rather have leading your team, Campbell or McNabb?Chutebox

Yeah I agree but the biggest disappointment last season was that our running game disappeared. Ganther sort of revived it at the end of the season but that's only becuase everyone else was banged up.

I trust Shanahan though.

I hope he does well with the Redskins

it's about time that team finally replace Campbell

Oh lord, yet ANOTHER reason why McChoke is a Grade A+ scumbag! I hope Philly makes a fool out of him twice a year for the next 3 to 4 years.MoonMarvel

You really have something against the guy, don't you?

How the hell does that make him a scumbag?

What everyone seems to forget is that Elway was 1 year older than McNabb is right now when Mike Shanahan became head coach and look at what Elway was able to do. I hate to McNabb go, but I'm happy he's going to go to a team that would help him out. You can't argue at how good Shanahan is as a headcoach.

I suppose that means Jason Campbell's ticket out of town has been punched. Well, maybe he'll succeed somewhere else. I'd say the Redskins are a better team as a result of this trade, but not good enough to be a playoff team. They still have too many problems.

Good job Eagles. Thanks for trading McNabb to a division rival and to a place that he will probably be appreciated alot more then he was in Philly. I dont understand why this guy has gotten so much hate during his tenure as an Eagle. He is a good qb and one of the best the eagles ever had. He got blamed too much for the Eagles shortcomings. Bad defense,blame Mcnabb,bad coaching,blame mcNabb,etc... As a Colts fan I hope dude lights it up against the Eagles. That would be so funny. Instead of management fixing other issues with this team,they get rid of the best qb on the team and hand over the keys to Kolb??? Kolb played two good games last year and everybody is gushing over him. Lets see what he does playing a full season. The Eagles could have at least let McNabb finish out his contract and then let him walk.

I'm pretty down on Larry Johnson, I really think he's on the backslide of his career based on what he's done lately in KC. FWP was a good aquisition, he does have to stay healthy though. Portis has been their back for a while now, I don't watch games so I don't know if it's a line problem or if he's going down, but the bottom line is they have to run the ball better even with McNabb at QB. They also don't have the offensive weapons at receiver that McNabb had in Philly, that should also be a priority. It makes them a better ball club no doubt, but they need to keep improving. Hopefully, for Skins fans at least, this and getting Shanahan will be a big enough boon to at least be in competition for a wild card if not the division.

Yes, let's blame McNabb for all those NFC championship games.... You've got too much hate in you, calm down... The NFL is a business. McNabb has done what any other player would do in his position, even you---if you were lucky enough to be in that position. [QUOTE="MoonMarvel"][QUOTE="TaCoDuDe"]

Wow I can't believe what a bad move that is for washington. Looks like Philly just traded 5 pennys for 1 quarter to the slow kid down the street.

Fred Davis really stepped up last season. But yeah he needs to work on blocking but he's young so I think he will have a bright future ahead of him.

lol I can't believe the Eagles traded away their only short term hope at success. Say what you want about McNabb but he's matured and is now a much better qb than he was in the past.

I remember all the Eagles fans on this forum that worshipped McNabb and thought he could do no wrong and now watch them turn on him like a red-headed step child. :lol:

Go Skins!

Pending the skins get their offensive line fixed... Did Washington just become serious competitors in the NFC? I think so.

I don't understand how people think the Redskins can win the division. I realize that they're much more talented with McNabb but he's not Peyton Manning. McNabb is not a miracle worker. Last season the Redskins went 4-12 losing to some horrible teams. This year they play the NFC North and AFC South. I just can't see them beating the Packers, Vikings, Texans, Colts, Bears, and Titans. Plus it'll be tough to beat the Cowboys and Giants.

Their offense still isn't good enough. They have three extremely old veterans in Portis, Johnson, and Parker, mostly unproven WR's, and a horrid offensive line. The possible drafting of Okung will not save the entire line. Plus, I think you guys are overestimating McNabb. He's not the same player he was 5 years ago. I think the Cowboys showed everyone this year how his skills have diminished. The Cowboys are still the class of the division, with the Giants behind them. At best I can see them going 8-8 and competing for the 6th playoff spot.

i seen this coming a couple years back....i dont get why all philly teams get rid of all their good players...thats why we philly fans act the way we do now but hey i guess it was time for mcnabb to go but will kolb do the job is the question.

If anyone can take the 'skins to the SB it will be Shanahan. He can get McNabb going in the right direction and making him a better QB. Plus lets not forget what he does with RB. McNabbs good, but he's not great. He's had his good games when they came back from losing in the 1 half and pull off a win. Big thing is he couldn't do it all the time, he only did it once in a while. Mike will get him turned around and in 2 or 3 years they be SB champs.

he's gonna do horrible, proving once and for all that he's been overrated in phillystarwarsjunky
