seyone Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Mcnabb has been traded to the redskins, espn is reporting. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 Dang it! I was hoping to get him in Oakland. I'm really surprised the Eagles traded him to a division rival. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 Not sure how I feel about this. I dislike Jason Campbell, but I'm unsure about how much this will benefit the team. I guess I'll just wait and see. Quote
1inStripes Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 He and the Deadskins will stay right where they belong. At the bottom of the NFC East. Quote
VABassin'14 Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I don't think they will finnish last again. I hope he goes into Philly and throws 7 TDs and beats the crap out of the Eagles this fall. Quote
seyone Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 VA, that is what I am worried about. I don't like the idea of trading him to a division rival. Quote
VABassin'14 Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Well, I'm a skins fan so I like the idea of that. I always thought that Philly treated him wrong and was ungrateful for everything he did for that team. Quote
seyone Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 I hope he has a great year. I already think the Eagles will suck. Quote
frogtog Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I always say what goes around comes around and I think this will come back to haunt the Eagles. Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 Too bad the Iggy's didn't go out when Donnie was young and put talent around him at Wide out. Most teams that have won like the Iggy's have had some great talent at WR, something Donavan never had the luxury of until the past few drafts, except for that 18 month stretch with TO, one good WR his whole career. Donnie has put himself at the top of the passing records with a few that most NFL QB's would be happy with owning. No weapons in Washington, thats a good one, you've got McNabbs ability to scramble, Randal El, Moss, and Cooley at TE, and Shannahans made Portis a better back before. Donnie sure has owned my Cowboys for the most part, I know winning 3 times last year was nice, but that didn't happen very often over the past 11 years. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 Believe it or not but McNabb dictated that trade. He refused to even talk to other teams that were interested in him and would have retired if he had be traded to anyone but Washington. (Reported by Jason Cole , Yahoo Sports.) Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 Dang it! I was hoping to get him in Oakland. I'm really surprised the Eagles traded him to a division rival. You truly are a fan. I applaud you. Never give up hope. ;D Quote

Portis career is almost done IMO. He has just been too banged up, and has lost a step or two. It will make Washington better though. Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 5, 2010 Super User Posted April 5, 2010 Probably cheaper for Deadskins to get McNabb than to draft Sam Bradford in first round. Plus the fact that McNabb is an experience QB who can give Campbell a good run for the money for the QB position. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 6, 2010 Super User Posted April 6, 2010 Cooley has also been injured. I'm not sure what he'll play like. Quote
soccplayer07 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 I think it's a great move! This will allow us to build for the next 3-4 years. He is very solid. I'm simply shocked they traded him within the division. Hint hint Sunny...maybe they learn this time Quote
A.Do? Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Probably cheaper for Deadskins to get McNabb than to draft Sam Bradford in first round. Plus the fact that McNabb is an experience QB who can give Campbell a good run for the money for the QB position. I feel like this is another kick to Campbell. I doubt he'll stay with the skins, and if he does, I don't think he'll have the motivation to succeed... Quote

HE HAD HIS SHOT. Quote
Captain Obvious Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 As a cowboy fan I like this trade, yes I wanted him out of the division but better with the dead skins then with eagles Quote
seyone Posted April 6, 2010 Author Posted April 6, 2010 I don't think they brought mcnabb in to compete for the starting spot, he will be the starter. Campbell just isn't good enough. Quote

Campbell just isn't good enough. I don't think thats a fair accessment of Jason and I'm not a deadskins fan. How many HD coaches has he seen, or how many years has he had the same offensive coordinator? Just like last year, didn't they take playcalling away from the HC, then hire a consultant to call plays? I know, its easy to blame the QB over the upper managment chaos. Quote
seyone Posted April 6, 2010 Author Posted April 6, 2010 That are already talking extension with Mcnabb, I don't think they would be going through all of this if they didn't plan on making him the starter Quote

Plus the fact that McNabb is an experience QB who can give Campbell a good run for the money for the QB position. Yes, probably cheaper dollar-wise, but also in draft picks since they would have had to trade up with the Rams to have a shot at Bradford. That would have cost them several high picks. Quote
Red Bear Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 as a redskins fan, its a tough pill for me to swallow. ive hated mcnabb for so long, now i have to cheer for him on gameday. i will probably be more critical of him than past redskins QBs of late, even though he is better than them. i suppose i will support him on the field though, unless he plays horribly. campbell has permission to seek a trade, and its unlikely he will return as he and shanny agreed its best if campbell didnt even workout with the team right now.
