If the Matt Cassel and Matt Schaub trades didn't warrant 1st round picks, there's no way Kolb would IMO.

By the same token we got a 2nd round pick for AJ Feeley lol.

I guess we will see, I definitely think he gets traded, maybe on draft day. I keep hearing how most of the league thinks very, very highly of Kolb.

[md1198p]

Hustle.

This is not it.



100 million well spent.

[MrDigital]

Vick is 10x better than Kolb.

Fact.

[md1198p]

Fact.

Glad to be wrong, they are both on my team.

I still think Kolb is going to end up being a good QB, just on another team. Its nice to have 2 guys that has shown they can start and put up big numbers and win games.

Another fact, I smoked you again this week, buddy.

I do wish I hadn't believed the pundits and put in Moss over Maclin, would've been closer at least. Oh and it would be nice if Brady hadn't just stopped throwing to Aaron Hernandez in favor of throwing to the other TE who got mad points. Seriously, who foresaw that?

Shrug, I'm in first place in my money league. Although I'm kicking myself for not starting Fred Jackson in either league this week. Had him starting in my money league until Sunday morning when I second guessed myself and actually dropped him to pick up Santana Moss (who I didn't start anyways). Oh well, won anyways.

I am winning my money league as well. Its funny, I had the same draft strategy and draft position, although my money league is a 10 man team. I ended up with a lot of the same players on both teams. Rodgers, Desean, Big Ben and Foster. I also picked up Brandon Lloyd off waivers in both leagues. I have better tight ends in my other league, I kinda got screwed when Finley got hurt, or my Sharky team would be absolutely stacked top to bottom. I have Vernon Davis on my other team.

Very confusing, Mcnabb is not good enough to run a 2 minute drill, and Rat Face though Grossman of all people was more qualified. They even worked out Jamarcus Russel. Then 2 weeks later hey sign him to a 5 year extension with 40 million dollars guarenteed. Very strange, cannot really make out what they are doing, but hey it is the Redskins. Personel decisions are not supposed to make sense.

This:

Sounds like Shanahan has a problem with mcnabb, and snyder overroad him.

If there's one other owner in the league just as bad as Jerry Jones, it's Snyder. I suppose that Al Davis warrants mentioning here as well. Except that the Raiders actually made it to a Superbowl this decade (still not sure how Davis allowed Gruden to do his work unmolested).

Mcnabb cannot carry a team with little talent the way he did when he was younger. He cannot extend the play anymore. And the Redskins have nothing on offense. Cooley is alright, Moss is not the player he was, and the running back situation is a mess. And I don't even want to get into the offensive line.

To Philly's credit, they also had a stellar defence, decent running backs, and offensive line in McNabb's younger days as well.

None of which now apply in Washington.

I agree, my point is he cannot make a bad/average offense (depending on how you rate them) excel the way he could when he was younger and more mobile. Also, I think Reid is a much better offensive coach in todays game than Shanahan.
The way the eagles coaching staff "rebuilt" Vicks throwing motion in 18 months or so is amazing considering he threw the same way his whole life, then was away for 2 years. His lower body is complete different when he throws now, and he is much, much more accurate.
I think a lot of Mcnabbs success with the Eagles was Reid being a very QB friendly coach. I always wondered if Philly's shortcomings where Mcnabb or Reid, and I am starting to think it was more Mcnabb. I am not knocking Mcnabb, I think did amazing things in Philly, and could still be a good QB in the right system. I just don't think he will succeed in Washington. I am really surprised he resigned with Washignton and did not wait until the offseason and try to hook up with the Vikings or the 49ers.

Running backs..well before Westbrook Staley was alright. He ran for 1000 yards twice with Mcnabb, and both times averaged less than 4 yards a carry. The line was very good, Runyan and Tra Thomas were great tackles and never missed games. The receivers early on were absolute garbage...it sickened me to watch them drop passes, never get separation, get jammed out of plays so consistantly. Its kind of ironic that once the offense gets stacked with young, outstanding skill players Mcnabb gets traded.

As for the defense, well I was loking at things from a QB and offensive point of view. I remember the defense being inconsistant year to year. Here are the rankings:

1999 ranked 24th
2000 ranked 10th
2001 ranked 7th
2002 ranked 4th
2003 ranked 20th
2004 ranked 10th
2005 ranked 23rd
2006 ranked 15th
2007 ranked 10th
2008 ranked 3rd
2009 ranked 12th

They had some good years, ok years, and bad years. Makes sense that a team thats lives by the blitz would be inconsistant on defense.

Long live Freddie Mitchell! Fourth and 26!

Yeah that was a good play. He sucked though lol.

The thing I remember most about that play was Joe Bucks call. One of the more exciting and clutch plays I have seen, 4th and friggin 26 in a playoff game with 1 minute left. And the guy has absolutely no emotion, like a robot.

[md1198p]

Eli Manning has to be the most awkward looking professional athlete I have ever seen.
