Donovan

Wow a what a present, here I am just watching Opening Night, Yanks-Sox, look down on the ticker, and it reads: BREAKING NEWS Eagles agree to trade QB Donovan McNabb to Redskins. I about jumped out of my seat. We did WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. I'm going, how in the hell did we convince Philly to give us their QB, I mean division rivals, really? Brett Favre had to waste a year in New York before he went to Minnesota because Green Bay didn't want to see him twice a year. So, the Walrus with a headset, decides seeing DMC twice a year isn't all that bad. Not only that we got him for virtually nothing, a second this year and a 3rd or 4th next year, a whoopity doo. I like the move for a few reasons, number we now have a QB so any talk of Jimmy Clausen or Sam Bradford is done, we can focus and take Russell Okung at 4. It also means, Jason Campbell is not gonna start, which maybe DMC can teach him a few things. Donovan is a winner, can make all the throws and instantly makes us a better team, which sorry to say that second round pick, most likely to be used on a QB or O-lineman wouldn't have helped as much as him. The cons of the move are this, he's old, owed a lot of money, and a free agent after next year, but Dan Snyder will take care of that.

So, at the start of free agency, everyone applauded the Redskins front office for patience, and not spending like crazy. Since then Larry Johnson, Willie Parker and now DMC. Not much patience being shown anymore. I like the direction the team is going, and hopefully Shannahan can turn this into success on the field.
