Benching McNabb

[Hova57]

my brother told me he has a 1 million dollar buyout for the end of the season. I think what rob is talking about is the extra incentive mcnabb could get for starting 70% of the snaps

Not sure either but on 980 last night they made it seem like if we cut ties after this season the new contract pays him 3.5 mil if he was released after this season.

It is becoming very hard to root for the Skins. The franchise has become wrecked. Snyder looked like he may had finally made a good move with McNabb and Shanny, but look how that has turned out. Mike has trainwrecked the team even more and McNabb easily does not fit the system.

overpaying players making them feel entitled wrecked this team.

Looks like Mike has joined the...



But in all seriousness, I just don't get this move unless McNabb is gone at the end of the year. Rob made me understand the contract more, but it's still so bizarre. On my way home from school, I just kept thinking is Shanny the right person for the 'Skins.

Do you feel the same way?

I think it's funny that anyone would still be mad over play in the "superbowl"... or any of the many division championship games McNabb lead the offense in. I'm sure Browns, Bills, Bengals, Texans, etc. fans find that funny too. McNabb's not perfect by any means but he's far from a bum and I personally don't consider anyone a choker based on what they do in a superbowl since they had to "not choke" in some pretty big games to get there in the first place (and in this case, those were all games TO was watching from the sideline).

As for the benching, it's pretty stupid and I hope the end result isn't that in 2 years we realize how many issues have arisen because Mike can't act like the boss of Kyle instead of his father.

I mean it was simple to me, all you had to do was ask yourself how the Eagles decisions have worked out for them over the last 10 years vs. how the Skins decisions have worked out for them in the last 10 years. A smart team never lets a great player go to a division rival and that's why anyone should have known the Eagles knew McNabb was going down the downward spiral career-wise. As a Cowboys fan I have my own huge disappointment of a season to bear but its stories like these about the Skins that sure put a smile on my face! We'll be back next year and competing but the Skins will still keep floundering and paying for past sins. For a long time to come yet. Dan Snyder is the gift that just keeps on giving to us Boys fans. Life is good!

Posts like these are why people don't like Cowboy fans. First, you say they'll be back next year competing... even though they've won one playoff game in a decade? You can laugh at the Skins but the Boys are just as laughable. NOBODY said anything about the Skins going to the superbowl (don't know where you got that from) but plenty of people said the Cowboys were the best team in the league this year. Plenty said they'd be playing in the SB at home in their fancy new stadium. Meanwhile they're behind the Skins in the standings with only 4 wins.

I'm amazed you'd even try to make a comparison with the Boys with their expectations and execution this year... and even talk about long term with how the Boys have "competed" over the last 10-11 years. Amazing actually.

wwharton - I don't care who likes me or not, in fact I'd prefer non-Cowboys fans keep on hating me and other Cowboys fans, I'm cool with that. And yes we will be competing next year, competing simply means we'll be competitive. Actually we've competed this year since Garrett took over and Captain Kangaroo left. Unlike the Skins we have not run our franchise into the ground to the point of it being years away from recovering.

I saw PLENTY of Skins fans saying with their defense, a healthy backfield and McNabb arriving they would be going to the Super Bowl. A TON. So don't even try revisionist history in the 11th hour. I laughed at the Skins fans then and I'm heartily laughing now. Oh as for being amazed, I admitted the Cowboys underperformed by a mile this year, I was simply pointing out that the SKins managed to put a smile on my face despite our awful year. I mean come on, this is priceless, signing McNabb for big money then having your big-time savior coach bench him a few games later. That's comic GOLD right there. Just GOLD!!

Just trust me, it's of great comfort to know that despite our issues with our franchise we always have our underperforming, comical, little brother in the Washington Deadskins to be amused by. And I don't just mean on the field but in the offseason and in the front office as well. Good times!!

Cowboy Fans pointing and laughing at Skins' Fans for how they've done? Oh the irony LOL
