From Washington’s perspective,Mike Shanahan looked at Donovan McNabb and saw John Elway. In 1995, Shanahan took the Denver coaching job and inherited a quarterback who couldn’t win the big one, who’d gotten stale, who’d lost the faith of the locals in Denver to deliver a Super Bowl. Elway, then 35, went on to play four years for Shanahan and win two Super Bowls. In 2010, Shanahan takes the Washington coaching job and deals for a quarterback who couldn’t win the big one, who’d gotten stale, who’d lost the faith of the locals in Philadelphia to deliver a Super Bowl. McNabb is 33. He wants to play at least four more years.
Breaking: The Philadelphia Eagles have traded QB Donovan McNabb (within their division) to the Washington Redskins for a 2nd round & 3rd or 4th round 2011 draft pick. Thus begins the Kevin Kolb era in Philly. Thus the Jason Campbell era in Washington gets put on hiatus.
Donovan McNabb – Pop Quiz:Quarterback A - 1,421 yards / 9 touchdowns / 7 turnovers over the last five weeks.
Quarterback 2 - 1,535 yards / 9 touchdowns / 7 interceptions over the last five weeks.
You’re swift, so you know one of them is McNabb (QB A). QB 2 is Peyton Manning. Now, I’m not calling Donovan Peyton and Peyton Donovan, but the numbers don’t lie. And the fact that McNabb’s being started in just 44 percent of leagues (and Peyton 97 percent) makes Donovan an interesting play.

In fact, his body language seems to tells us “I’m pretty sure if I stand this close to Donovan, I’ll get in the press photos”. Actually, that goes for all the players surrounding the writhing quarterback.
