The McNabb Grab

On April 3rd, 2010, Eagles veteran quarterback Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins. The trade agreement was that the Redskins would give up their 2010 second-round pick (37th overall) as well as their third- or fourth-round pick in 2011, depending on how well McNabb performs for the Redskins.
McNabb, who was going to enter his 12th season with the Philadephia Eagles, has been quoted saying, "I wanted to finish out my career where I started." Although his dream has not come true, he feels he could be the next John Elway II.
John Elway II was coached by Redskins Mike Shanahan and led his team to two Super Bowl titles. On top of that he was also named MVP in one of the Superbowl wins. By working with Mike Shanahan, he feels that he can succeed just as Elway did.
This may not seem a big deal to many who do not know the game of football. However, I believe this trade is going to have a huge impact on McNabb. He has not only played 11 seasons with the Eagles, but he is also going to be competing against them at least twice each year because the Redskins and Eagles are both in the NFC East division. He has played with the team so long that he has and always will be a huge part of that program, and I do not believe he will be able to let that go
I believe if he starts off on the right foot he could do very well. However, if he lets the chatter from the media get into his head, it could be a very rough season.
