“Donovan McNabb traded to Redskins” is the kind of headline that causes the average Philadelphia Eagles fan want to either dance in the streets or toss batteries at the Energizer Bunny because he didn’t run quite long enough. The former group has zeroed in on his rumored inaccurate arm and dearth of Super Bowl victories. The underlying latter is basically surly. They’re the exact same group who would poo poo Mike Schmidt and Santa Claus.
McNabb’s new home is ecstatic to have the six-time Pro Bowler, or at least that’s how the Washington Post puts it. Although nevertheless resembling bold ineptitude, the result of Philadelphia’s bold move on McNabb will probably be something that falls short of. Eagles fans, enjoy the Phillies this season. They are definitely worth it. Michael Vick at QB is not. Kevin Kolb is a wait-and-see – either a sleeper who could be getting a big salary cash loan soon or a mediocre QB.
This could mean a starting QB for D.C. with McNabb being traded to Redskins
McNabb traded to the Redskins also means that where there was skepticism with Jason Campbell, now Washington knows what they’re getting. A second-round draft pick (37th pick overall) and a fourth-round pick in 2011 was all they needed to sacrifice in order to get him. If McNabb does well, though, that 2011 pick could turn into a third-round selection, says the Post.
Don’t expect a performance like what he turned in during 2004, when he was the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Year and led the Eagles to Super Bowl XXXIX. For McNabb’s accuracy critics, chew on this: 31 touchdowns, 8 interceptions and a 104.7 quarterback rating. Now gobble down that greasy sandwich and wipe your hands on your filthy undershirt and Underoos. Just keep your football “knowledge” to yourselves and cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze. If I’m in the payday loans line, I do not want your mutant germs.
Donovan McNabb – he led the Eagles to 4 straight division titles and 5 conference championships
Of course he would have traded it all in for Super Bowl victory, but really, how many other excellent quarterbacks never conquered the Super Bowl? Among them, Donovan McNabb ranks highly well. With over 32,000 passing yards and 200 touchdowns – stats that are actually better than John Elway’s, when touchdowns to interceptions are accounted for – “McNabb traded to the Redskins” should make D.C. fans smile. This man can still play football.
