The Philadelphia Eagles trade of Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins is the dumbest in NFL history. The McNabb trade is dumb for several reasons: first, the Eagles traded their six-time pro-bowl quarterback to a team they play twice each year.
Second, the Eagles sent McNabb to a team that will play an offense almost like the one he played in for 11 years. new Washington Redskins Head Coach Mike Shanahan knows the same Bill Walsh West Coast Offense that Andy Reid coached to Donovan McNabb for all those years.
McNabb will have zero "adjustment" period on the field.
Third, Donovan McNabb knows the Philadelphia Eagles Defense like the back of his hand because he practiced against them. On other other hand, the Eagles have no idea what the Washington Redskins will do on offense because they're a new organization.
Fourth, the Eagles insulted Donovan by trading him for a second round pick to a division rival that plays the same offensive design, in effect saying "We don't think you're good. In fact, you're so bad we'll send you to our division rival because we know you can't beat us."
That's stupid.
The Eagles just penciled in two losses for the 2010 season at the hands of The Washington Redskins. Kevin Kolb is not the Eagles quarterback of the future, even if Andy Reid says he is. Michael Vick, who's an even better passer, will press Kolb for the starting job because he has something to prove. If Andy Reid doesn't start Vick, people will wonder what's wrong with him.

Yeah, because 11 years of tape on the Eagles probably doesn't give their O or D away much, if at all.
Come on. Really?
If it were as easy as "get player X from team Y to figure out team Y," why did Jim Johnson's D's confuse so many for so long?
Really, with all the players the Eagles (and every other team) have shed over the last 10 years, its a wonder any teams are a mystery.
What's that? Teams change season to season? Its execution more than anything else that dictates play outcome? No, I hadn't thought of that. Of course, I don't have a blog, either.
Its not like Shannahan is going to run some trippy new O. He'll run the ball and run one of a handful of Offenses in the NFL. I doubt you'll see the wish bone other odd ball O.
As to the D. James Thrash, a long-time Eagles WR went back to the Skins for a number of years.
It didn't exactly help them win, did it?
