Kyle Addresses Shanahanigans Over McNabb

((HT: CSNWashington))

Kinda... at least Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan and QB Donovan McNabb had a sit-down to discuss things...

CSNW's Kelli Johnson cornered Kyle in the parking lot at Redskins Park...


Kyle's familiarity with Rex Grossman is understood with their time in Houston with the Texans... we all know how well that went...

And Brother J-Dub knows how well its going now...

BREAKING: Donovan McNabb gets a 5-year, $78 million extension? Huh?

This doesn't make a bit of sense. Last week, the guy was according to his own coach "Out of condition" to lead the two-minute offense at the end of a game. This week, he signs a mega-contract, $40 million of which is guaranteed? To steal and old quote: "What's up wit dat?"

McNabb, who is in his first year with the Redskins hasn't exactly lit things up since moving down I-95. He hasn't been horrible, but has been somewhat less than impressive for the 4-4 'Skins. But hey, maybe they know something we don't.

We guess that Shaun Hill, Jon Kitna and Jason Campbell must be in for some big pay raises too. All of them have a...much higher QB rating than McNabb.

We do realize that this is Little Napolean Dan Snyder that we are talking about here and that Snyder is notorious for handing out bizarre contracts to guys a few years past their prime. While we like McNabb and thought he was absolutely fantastic when in Philly, he's done nothing in Washington. In Philly, he carried that team for years when the receiving corp consisted of guys like Freddy Mitchell. Really, he doesn't have much to work with in Washington either.

The big difference, Philadelphia had some really good QB's ready to replace McNabb, Washington....not so much.

Hey, we could be wrong about this and he could lead the Redskins to Super Bowl glory and all that. But we don't see it.

Check out this story from earlier this week talking about McNabb's benching in Detroit 2-weeks ago. Thanks to CSNWashington.com for this:

Chris Cooley Scares Donovan McNabb

((HT: CSNWashington))

And this is why the HQ likes Chris Cooley...

The Washington Redskins tight end enlisted young Jacob to squeeze into his new quarterback's locker...

The results are somewhat typical for these situations...
Enjoy...


Simple, yet effective...
And McNabb gave the autograph... very classy in the circumstances...

McNabb Introduced To DC, Colt Brennan Left Numberless...

((HT: WTTG-TV))

Conspicuous by his absence, Daniel Snyder did not introduce his new quarterback to the world today...

Mike Shanahan introduced his new number five to the Nation's Capital...

Shanahan hates the word rebuilding, so here's his reloading...
Now all he needs is some offensive linemen who can keep McNabb upright

Here's some of the presser...

McNabb Traded To Skins, NFL Careens Off Axis...

((HT: WTXF-TV, Philadelphia/WTTG-TV, Washington))

Sunday night, the Philadelphia Eagles solved their quarterback logjam by trading Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins for a second-round selection in the upcoming draft and a conditional 3rd or 4th-round pick in 2011.

This means that the Eagles QB competition is between Kevin Kolb and Michael Vick, the Eagles have now purged $20-million from their books in an uncapped year, and that all blue hell has officially broken loose in the NFL- again.

WIP610's Anthony Gargano says the deal was not Andy Reid's to make...

"I'm really excited about my future with the Washington Redskins," McNabb said in an interview with the Washington Post's Michael Wilbon. "I'm eager to work with Coach [Mike] Shanahan. He's been a very successful coach with a couple of Super Bowl victories on his resume. While it has been my goal to win a Super Bowl in Philadelphia, we came up short. I enjoyed my 11 years, and know we shared a lot more good times than bad."

The gut feeling of the HQ is that Daniel Snyder and Mike Shanahan are far from done. Look for Jason Campbell to be moved- possibly to St. Louis along with one of the three running backs in camp ((Are you listening Clinton Portis...??)) and the 4th pick to trade up to the Rams' draft spot to pick up Sam Bradford after all.

McNabb is now. Bradford is later...
