I can't believe the Redskins of all teams...he will have a chance to stick it up their ass like an umbrella and open it twice next year. The fans will mutiny if the Eagles go 0-2 in those games...no pressure Kevin Kolb.

I'm not convinced Kolb will be the starter with Vick still there. Either way, the NFC Beast just got even more interesting.

Redskins have a chance to build something great out there. New coach, Okung coming in the draft, they'll probably trade Campbell away on Draft day for some more picks.

I'm moving out there soon, so they better turn that shit around in time for my arrival! I'm tired of rooting for losers.

Fucking Al Davis.

Window is going to be closing soon, and they haven't even proven that it's open yet. McNabb is getting older and he's always been a bit injury prone.

Great trade for them though.

Allows them to cut ties with Campbell, take a developmental guy or a lower rated QB to groom behind McNabb, and build the team the right way instead of sinking a huge chunk of their salary cap into Bradford (who I love and drafted in our mock).

Good points. Shanahan is good for QBs too.

McNabb doesn't look overcome with joy at this press conference. I probably wouldn't be either if I were traded from a team I loved to a team I hated.

EDIT: On a side note, Adam Schefter has no personability. He's a robot.

I think a lot of people thought McNabb to Washington was a good trade for the Redskins. Myself included.

Let's do a recap.

McNabb has very good career in Philadelphia. Hall of famer? If he had won a Super Bowl, yes. Anyways.

The Eagles think Kolb is the future, so they trade him to a division rival - the 'Skins.

The Redskins seem to have a QB for at least a few years. Wrong. McNabb is benched right before the bye week. Odd.

Then they give him a massive contract. Odd that he was benched, but maybe he was getting over injuries.

Now he's benched again. But not just benched.. benched for Rex Grossman. And he's been downgraded to the third QB. He won't even be the backup.

Shanahan says he can't guarantee that McNabb will be back next year. The Redskins have slashed the prices of his jerseys to $39.95. Malcolm Kelly jerseys are $80.

WTF are the Redskins doing? I can't tell if the Eagles look like geniuses for going with Kolb/Vick, or if the Redskins are more incompetent than I thought. I had a lot of respect for Mike Shanahan before all this. Not sure what to think of him now.
