I have been open about not wanting to take a quarterback early on in the draft, especially Sam Bradford who would be put into the ground repeatedly possibly re injuring his shoulder. Now we have a QB who has missed quite a few games over the last 8 years from various injuries. How do we expect to keep him upright and healthy?
Why is there a win now mentality in D.C.? I thought that under a new GM and new head coach that rebuilding was vogue and acquiring players that other teams do not want was out. McNabb is a good QB, but he is 33 with a lot of wear and tear. Philly traded him to the Redskins, so they must not be afraid to see him twice a year. Between this and the stable of old running backs that we have picked up, I really wonder what people are thinking.
The only things that I can be happy about was that he was picked up relatively cheap for someone who has had as much success as he has. Giving up a second rounder and a third of fourth next year does not seem too bad when there is the possibility of high performance.
Maybe I'll change my mind. Maybe he will be the next Sonny Jurgensen. For now I just have this pit in my stomach that tells me this was a great trade for Philly, and one that we will regret.
Until tomorrow, may you not look a gift horse in the mouth.
