Wow, 5 mil for a guy with McNabb’s resume? This was even a better deal for Minny than I thought! Even if he sucks, he has value as a mentor to Ponder and Webb, but if he returns to form, he’ll be a bargain. By comparison, Mark Sanchez got $15 mil last year, and McNabb outperformed him.

****Wait a minute! You clearly must be Paul Hargis in disguise. I mean only Paul Hargis would make such an idiotic statement that McNabb outperformed Mark Sanchez last year. Come on buddy! McNabb was benched last year in favor of Rex f’n Grossman. Mark Sanchez led his team to playoff victories over Peyton Manning and the Colts…..and Tom Brady and the Patriots. Then they lost a close game to the Steelers in the AFC championship. Add that on to the fact that he also led the Jets to two playoff wins and to the AFC championship game in 2009.

McNabb may turn it around this year…..he has been good in the past. But please stop making such moronic statements claiming that he outperformed Mark Sanchez last year.

you don’t know what the season will be like. for some people its easier to just complain. I wouldn’t trade Favres first season with us. It was a Great season. the second season he seemed like his heart wasn’t in it. he was older. the OL had issues. Sidney was out. too bad his last year was painful to watch. well supposedly his last year.

I will wait and see what happens.

So far though, I like what I see in mc5. I believe if he fails, we did not loose much. But I think he’ll do ok. the receiving group may do well too. from what ive seen of mc5′s touches and ponder’s touches, they both are accurate and developing timing with the WR’s. I hope this translate into a winning season and Ponder learns much.

Yet another inept move from the Vikings. A 1 year contract ? This just reflects the confidence the Vikings have in McNabb

Use your head. It’s pretty cheap and if he turns out great they just pay him again. He’s there mostly to mentor a rookie. You’re pretty inept yourself.

@PURPLE, We arent geniuses we have just been accustomed to the ineptness of the Vikings. Most personnel decisions they make never work out. No team in sports history has the ineptness of the Vikings.

The Vikes have prerequisites for their starting QB’s…. must be either washed up or unwanted…or both.

I was under the impression that this was a comment section on a blog where people are free to express their opinions. Not sure why you take exception to it.

fletcher smith initially told minny that don would insist on a bogus $74 million contract extension with $3.5M due at signing since that’s what bruce allen gave him last time in washington.

but i heard minny, through skillful negotiating, has brought the apology fee down to $1.5M this time around, citing mcnabb’s ego’s diminishing leverage.

Not living the zillion dollar jet-setter lifestyle, so you actually read and comment here with the rest of us addicted, addled, poor-house louts.

OK. Just making sure. Where do I put my $3 bet on the outcome of the 5th race at Pimlico on Tuesday? I prefer the Show prediction, as any moron can pick a winner.

All geniuses, reply here. Your input will be acted upon.

The comments he made this week about Philly shows different.

It wasn’t about money. It was an agreement that McNabb would not have to compete with Ponder for the starting role. Ponder is not saying anything anymore about how anxious he is to lead the team to victory this year, as he had been. He’s been told to be content holding a clipboard. McNabb didn’t want to have to earn a starting spot, he wanted it guaranteed. So, not only is he accepting the fact that he can’t demand the big bucks any longer, he has to assure himself he won’t get pulled before the season even begins. They’d have been better off with Favre again.

He also knows that this is probably his last chance to change the perception about him, and if he fails, then his career is probably over. But, I’m sure there’s a new career waiting for him at NFL Network or one of the other networks broadcasting NFL games.
