Strung Out
Being a Philly fan I am not happy Mcnabb is gone but I understand why he is. The Eagles were getting old and we are trying to rebuild but still be competitive. Redskins have no offensive line to proteect Mcnabb he is going to get killed. Are you ready for some Football?
You people have complained to high heaven about McNabb and now he's gone and we Skins fans have watched this like we always watch Eagles fans; like you fine folks are out of your gourds.
#5 has been, clearly, the best QB in the NFC East since Aikmans retirement. Who you want; Eli? Campbell? Brunnel? Romo? Bledsoe?
He's only 33. Elways was 34 when Shanahan took over in Denver.
The Skins have 3 good parts on the line, center and both guards. If Okung is actually that special, that's 4 and you find a serviceable piece at RT.
Portis is is gone, gone, GONE. If he's not, he sure as hell WILL be playing hard or sitting on the bench. So, can we get a decent vet o lineman for him?
Sure.
Zorn treated Thomas and Kelly as though they were infants and worried more about the precision of their routes rather than if they could make plays. Part of that worry was Campbell, because he's not an accurate qb. You think McNabb won't be throwing jump balls to Kelly in the end zone, that Thomas better damn well catch it because he's gonna get nailed anyway? I can tell you Santana is smiling.
As I have argued before, McNabb is not a TOP tier guy in terms of hall of fame but he is, easily one of the best of the last decade and he is in a small group today of elite, vet qb's.
So, Eagle fans, you need to find a new dog to kick. Now, you really got something to complain about in addition to being 0-2 against us this season for the first time in ages.
I could not envision the Redskins being any more than, at best, competitive in the playoffs maybe even making the championship game but, Campbell simply not being able to make plays when we needed it most. He's never, EVER done it.
We got a guy now who, if the o plays like crap for 3 quarters can still win games at the end.
HUGE plus for the Washington Redskins. I almost feel a song coming on.
