McNabb traded to Redskins

I wanted the Raiders to get him sooooooooooo badly.

To replace a young scatter armed QB with an old one?

With this trade, and the drafting of Okung, the Redskins will compete for that division next year. Great move by the Skins, and I'm surprised as many people are down on McNabb as there appears to be.

Yes. Calling JMac scatter armed is almost complimentary.

Brett Favre through age 33:
Yards: 42258
Yards/Game: 222
TD: 314
INT: 186
TD/INT Ratio: 1.7
Completion Percentage: 61%
Average QB Rating: 79


Donovan McNabb:
Yards: 32873
Yards/Game: 222
TD: 216
Int: 100
TD/INT Ratio: 2.16
Completion Percentage: 59%
Average QB Rating: 86.5

Outside of durability (McNabb played in 148 games to Favre's 175), Favre and McNabb compare very favorably to eachother, especially when you consider that Favre generally had far superior talent surrounding him.

Give McNabb a few more games, a few better receivers 5 years ago, a fancy comeback or two, and a super bowl ring, and suddenly he's a Hall of Famer.

I'm not saying McNabb is as good as Favre, but I think he's definitely a very good QB you can build your franchise around. I just don't understand the hate on him, especially from Philly. He's single handedly driven that team into the playoffs several times over the last decade and all he gets in return is a boot out of town and a bunch of criticism. I personally hope he goes to Washington and absolutely dominates Philly.

When training camp starts, I promise to be more pithy and blunt regarding the pathetic, tattered remnants of the Oakland Raiders franchise.

The Raiders may be the worst-run organization in sports.

Come on now, there's no need to pile on. Besides, why wait for training camp? I'm sure the upcoming draft will brew up a fresh batch of haterade.
