The first half they break down the Redskins and McNabb was praising Mike and Kyle for how they are utilizing Robert Griffin III's abilities. He didn't say one bad thing about them!

hunterx Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 He was on board last week too. Amazing. I usually avoid listening to him, but what a drastic turnaround from a few months ago when he was saying RG3 would be a failure because of the Shanahans.

Koolblue13 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I bet he is just feeling a little better, now that the Eagles are in such a desperate need for a QB and he probably enjoys watching the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Yep, he picked us last week and the reason was that our DEFENSE would confuse ponder. Interesting to hear him say positive things. Maybe he buried the hatchet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he buried the hatchet? perhaps... just glad to see he can be objective... something he hasn't been about the Redskins since we got RG3. on a side note.... i think he would actually be the best person to save the Eagles season... but will Reid open that can of worms? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 To be bitter would be bad professionalism. If he wants to continue and have a successful career in broadcasting, he needs to be unbiased and he has been doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike21 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Lazy or not McNabb is a smart guy. He did make a mistake earlier and was universally blasted as sour grapes when he said earlier that the Skins' egos wouldn't change their playbook for RGIII. As far as I'm concerned McNabb sucked here but is a professional trying to do good unbiased work so he can have a second career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I think Don has moved on. He's said some very positive things about coach Mike and Kyle. or like another poster said, maybe he's giddy about the Fecals going from the Dream Team, to a Dynasty, to a disaster.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I always like McNabb, even after all that went on here. It still was strange though on how the Shannys handled the benching situation. They both cited two completely different reasons and Mike back-peddled on his reason too. I know #5 was on the decline and when benched in MN asked for his release and got it. Sad that his career took a downward spiral the last 3 years, he used to be a dynamic QB to watch with his ability to extend plays with his legs, when he had them. He expected the Shannys to build the offense around him and they expected him to change things he had been doing his entire career. End of the day, both parties were stuborn and in the end the coach won, which should happen. He's the head coach and in charge. Period. McNabb waited till he was out of football to fire shots at them and rightfully so, he was mad, angry and we all know that while he took the high road his entire career, it was only a matter of time before he exploded. He did, its over. Now he's in broadcasting and doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Yep, he picked us last week and the reason was that our DEFENSE would confuse ponder.Interesting to hear him say positive things. Maybe he buried the hatchet? Maybe, but if he is going to work for NFL.com, he needs to at least appear to be objective and maybe the only way he knows how to do that is toss a lot of love our way.

terpskins10 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I think the trade for McNabb was bad, but I don't really bear any ill will toward the guy himself. I wish it could have worked out, but his suckitude indirectly landed us RG3 so we can't be that mad at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFromYellowstone Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 McNabb actually picked the Redskins over the Giants on NFL Network just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llevron Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 He's actually been in our corner since we beat up the Aints. I think he has picked us almost every week and is always talking about how impressive the offense is. He was even the butt of a joke about how he just likes us because he played for us one week. To which he replied with a quick 'Uhh No' Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I think the benching of McNabb, coupled with his rapid decline in skill led to some "unusual" comments by him. I chalk most of it up to a guy who was frustrated by the fact that he just couldn't play football at a high level anymore. The guy had an amazing career, and was one of the best to play his position for a long time. Glad that his classiness has returned to form. I always respected him when he played with the Eagles, just because of the way he carried himself. I hope he has a good career in the booth. And I'm not just saying this because he picked the Skins, but because he looks like has moved forward. I bet in hindsight, there are some remarks that he wishes he had never made.

GO HAMSKINS Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Always had love for Mcnabb, We straight up played him. Anthony Armstrong owes Mcnabb for allowing him to make the team for two years:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflow78 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Well, it's nice to see he deflated his ego enough to be objective and leave the ridiculous grudge in the dust (of course people saying he picked us over the Vikings as a reason he's buried the hatchet are forgetting that his time in Minnesota was even worse than with us). I don't mind watching him on tv as long as he's not saying idiotic **** like "Mike's never good with QBs". I don't care if he picks the Skins to lose as long as he's not drawing on his own (egotistically flawed) previous experience. Look at the teams for what they are RIGHT NOW, then make your prediction, not what they've been, not because Dan Snyder is their owner, not because in 2000 we had a flawed FA plan. He did a good job of that in this video, but it seemed like he was trying real hard to smile. I applaud him, finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMeast Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 He's probably picked the Redskins to win the majority of the season. This doesn't surprise me at all. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illone Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I think McNabb is the only one picking us this week. The entire NFL Network crew is on the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky52Mc Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 He's probably picked the Redskins to win the majority of the season. This doesn't surprise me at all. HTTR When he's talked good about us all season it's simply because he has to lol. You can't have sour grapes as an analyst, you won't make it far.

GaryGreenMonk Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 McNabb actually picked the Redskins over the Giants on NFL Network just now he was the only one that picked us too. Usually Sterling will go out of his way to pick us, but McNabb was the only one this week. truth be said though... he probably hates the Giants as much as we all do.
