Re: McNabb traded to the Redskins ?
I don't care who they have at QB, nothing is going to change for the Skins in the backfield until they do something about their offensive line. I was encouraged by Jason Campbell last pre-season before everyone started to get hurt--there was a stat near the end of the season that something like 7 different players had rotated through RG during the year. Even Peyton Manning couldn't be effective with that kind of protection. It also impacts the running game--when Portis gets into the open field, he's explosive. The problem is: .... getting him into the open field. When every other play call is "Portis up the gut," and the freaking lane closes a second after the snap, there's only so much the guy can do.
One thing I'll say for Campbell is that he is one tough SOB. I've never seen a QB take that kind of punishment down after down, and make it through the season. So I'm not sure how this is going to work out with McNabb. I like the guy and have some hope, but I'm more discouraged that Dan Snyder once again trades away high draft picks and an opportunity to build a franchise in order to get a questionable, albeit formerly great, commodity. Anyone remember the Deion Sanders debacle? That man should never have been allowed to wear burgundy & gold. In case you forget, it's Reason #2 on the Danisadouche website : http://dansnyderisadouche.wordpress.com/ It showed Snyder's true colors, and foreshadowed everything else this idiot has done to kill my team.
