   You want to trade McNabb? I wouldn’t have but okay. I kind of get it. You trade him to the Redskins?!? You need to replace the captain of your brain ship because he is drunk at the wheel. That’s a very good team in your division whose biggest weakness was that they had Jason Campbell running the show. What in the name of everything holy were you thinking. Unless you have concrete evidence that he: 1. is so hurt he’ll never be effective again; 2. is about to be convicted of rape; 3. will throw games for you; that was a ridiculously stupid move. Take a little bit less and trade him to the F’ing raiders for gods sake.

   STRI – The Redskins are not in any possible way a “very good team” – they won 4 games last year. They should be improved this season with better coaching, but they have literally no offensive line…really…none…they have one starter returning for them there after having cut the rest.

   5 of their 12 losses (at Carolina, at Dallas, at Philly, New Orleans, at San Diego) were by three points or less. Best defense in the division last year, 7th in the league.

   Let’s compare that to the 5-11 Cleveland Browns: 1 loss by 3 points or less. Or the 5-11 Oakland Raiders: 0 losses by 3 points or less. Or the 5-11 Seahawks: 0 losses by 3 points of less.

   And they play in arguably the toughest division in football.

   I’m the biggest fan of “you are what your record says you are” and maybe “very good team” was an overstatement. But they were in an awful lot of games against good teams while Jason Campbell was busy throwing for under 200 yards 8 times and managed games about as badly as they could be managed. (Number of sub-200 games thrown by the 3 other QBs in the NFC East COMBINED? 5.)

   The Redskins are a good enough team in your division that you shouldn’t hand over Donovan McNabb and fix one of their two biggest problems.
