Question: Donovan McNabb as a Panther in 2011?

Seeing how things have gone this year and knowing that we'll still be rebuilding next year. Just as Foxy did when he came in, new coaches, especially with an unproven group of QBs and young players, bring in a veteran guy they can trust as they're developing their system and cultivating personnel to fit it, to provide some stability. They usually use this guy to keep things moving as they look towards the future...

For instance, they play this guy if there isn't a viable option for a franchise QB on the roster already (until they find one), or if there is a viable option for the future, they play the vet until he's ready. Rodney Peete was that stabilizing guy, came in and put up some decent numbers and won over a lot of fans for his grit and surprisingly decent play. We didn't have an answer on the roster when we brought him in - I can say that because most of the Weinke-ites are gone now lol. They played Peete and brought Jake in his second season... Jake didn't practice well, so Peete continued as the starter until Fox took a gamble in put him in to win the Jags game, the rest is history... According to what we were looking for, Jake became that QB for the future that day and lasted for about 6 years.

It's reported Donovan McNabb will not re-sign with the Skins after this season.

Donovan McNabb-QB- Redskins Nov. 1 - 2:09 pm et

Michael Wilbon of the Washington Post predicts that Donovan McNabb will not re-sign with the Redskins this offseason.

I thought we should've went after him this offseason, but we didn't, for obvious reasons. If there isn't a lockout, McNabb is 33 right now, and would be the perfect transition guy. I think McNabb is the type of QB that could play well until he's about 38 or so. I also think after what's happened the last two seasons with him, that his value is at an all-time low, so he should come fairly cheap. If Clausen is the guy, it will give us time to find out with the next coach. If not, the next coach will come in with a proven - winning- vet, and can draft his own guy with a what looks to be a Top 3 pick.

It will definitely shore up the position. Quite honestly, I have always admired McNabb and been a fan, so I would love the move and think it would help us through the difficult transition to a new system and possible further personnel overhaul that will come with a new staff. Thoughts?

Depends on the coach and scheme I guess... isn't he a WCO QB?

yeah he is, but like you said it depends on who we bring in after fox and co. is gone. I wouldn't mind having him here at all, he's definitely a better option than anything we have right now.

Depends on how much he wants to pay for. Reliable backup QB type who will start at the position would get around 7 million or so. McNabb is probably still under the illusion that he deserves a top 5 QB salary.

Great idea but isn't going to work money wise.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
