Because, seriously – McNabb walks for nothing if that is correct. There should never be a story about a McNabb trade if it is so.

Then again, the media pretended for 5 months that Clinton had a shot to beat Obama despite her having no realistic shot to do so.

Why? Because it propped up someone they liked.

Would it say on the wristband – “Throw ball 90 mph into the turf when reciever is open”?

Wow, that’s the exact same wristband Derek Anderson wears!

The only thing that makes him look stupid is a refusal to wear one.

Not buying this story either…

So let me get this right.

The coach who went head to head with Albert Haynesworth and made him run all those sprints to qualify as in shape for the team, lets McNabb choose to wear a wrist band or not…….

It does not make any sense to me…….

Does it?????

Who, exactly, is going to trade for that contract?

Seems to me there are only 3 scenarios…

1) Skins decline the option, McNabb becomes a UFA

2) Skins re-work the deal and move McNabb

3) Skins deal McNabb and the existing contract

I can only imagine scenario #1 happening.

McNabb will never allow that contract to be re-worked (#2), as he’d lose money and flexibility. Even Fletcher “Masta P” Smith must see that.

And no one would ever take on that deal for what is, at best, a bridge to a younger QB. $12.5M is too much for that kind of role.

So how, exactly, do the Skins work out any kind of deal whatsoever if all this is true?

Well, who looks bad, McNabb & Shanahan. Who looks good? I know a number of coaches would could have gotten McNabb to wear a wrist band.

He has taken more criticism than any player with his level of skill set. ”

He doesn’t even have that distinction in Philly. Cole Hamels is the king of unwarranted criticism.

He handled it great, McNabb not so well.

The Skins should trade McNabb to Carolina for Clausen, straight-up.
==========

why stop there? They should trade him for a 1st and 4th rounders next year, and a 3rd the year after that.

PEOPLE!!! Other teams don’t want the skins garbage. Why would you trade a 2nd year player for an aging veteran on another team that will most likely be cut anyway?

Feely, Detmers, McNabb, maybe even Vick. McNabb IMO has always been lazy. never keeping his weight down to keep his quickness…relying on his average accurate arm when instead of just running with the ball.. holding the ball too long instead of throwing it away or gaining yardage.
And now since he’s left Philly he’s been accused of not studying plays, poor work ethic, and not being in shape t0 run the 2 min. drill. TO already said he wasnt the one that got tired in the Super Bowl.I have yet to see another QB so out of shape they threw up while on the field.I wonder when people will finally realize, hey,maybe its McNabb thats the problem… jus sayin.

At the time most observers/analysts outside of Philadelphia slammed the Eagles for trading McNabb. The Eagles sure do when to hold em and when to fold em.

most comical org in the nfl hands down….they have no QB as well. I cant believe that dope shanarat passed on Gabbert. Watch this guy be a stud franchise QB for 12 yrs….
Draft was horrible too and with at least 10 need positions are i really bad shape. Another last place finish…whoa..whoa…whoa.

COMICAL!!!!!!!!!!!
======================================
And yet your org that is supposedly light years ahead of the Redskins finished with the exact same record.

I really couldn’t decipher anything you said after “Draft was horrible too…,” but your sentence structure is at least consistent with the typical delusional Cowboy fan. And, there is a difference between a regular rational Cowboys fan than one like yourself. Comical sir is what you are, the opening act to the Dez Bryant show.

Isn’t he the same guy who went to NFC championships several times? You can’t tell me he doesn’t understand offense after 10 years in the league. Didn’t our coaching staff have issues with OT rules? Timeouts and training camp? This is another way to cheapen the stock of a QB we don’t want… sad thing is, we’ll have to PAY HIM or cut him. Other orgs will pick him up and he’ll be successful… same old Redskin mantra… provide insufficient supporting cast members then blame the players… Jason Campbell wasn’t as bad as he looks now… Sorry McNabb, you too will get the short end of the ineptitude of our coaches

Signed,
disgruntled Skins fan

The sad thing is though, if true, this story wouldn’t shock me at all. The shame of it is, he’s always had this chip on his shoulder, that I think are really at the source of his ocassionally bizzare comments and actions.

Problem 1 Dan Snyder

Problem 2 Mike Shanahan is a very toxic kind of guy who thinks he can get the most out of people by berating them to motivate them.

Problem 3 Kyle Shanahan is not a good Offensive coordinator and far too young to know what he is doing. This is compounded by his dad having to defend him by blaming everyone but his son for the play of the team.

Problem 4 no wide receivers

Problem 5 no running game or running backs

Problem 6 a horrible O-Line

But hey don’t take my word for it, if you really want to trade a player for maximum value, why leak this story? Well the good news is John Beck will win them a Superbowl this year for sure!

It’s just another example of Snyder favoring the players over the coaches. This has been an epidemic ever since The Wee One took over this team.
