Donovan McNabb extension the worst move in the history of sports

**SBR Lou** · 11-15-10, 09:19 PM

Donovan has no weapons and the Skins defense has been pathetically bad. Can't pin any blame on Donovan at this point.

**brxbmbers42** · 11-15-10, 09:20 PM

it's only 10 milli guaranteed

**BeeMore** · 11-15-10, 09:20 PM

Bad move

Do not pay a black QB that cannot run like Vick

you certainly don't give him the bank for 5 more years

**stealthyburrito** · 11-15-10, 09:22 PM

it isn't bank, $40 mill "guaranteed" is deceptive and non-binding.

**Jonah** · 11-15-10, 09:23 PM

A lot of these guys do a lot better before you give them the money then after. Go figure.

That's the part that shocked me. I could see a three year deal, but five???

will never beat the Herschel Walker trade

It's the NFL, since when does years on a contract matter.

McNabb...............LMFAO.............. ...holy shit.

ESPN says its $40,000,000 guaranteed.

$10 million would be ridiculously low as that would mean his 1st year of the deal is not even quaranteed.

exactly, as schlereth always says, they may as well be written on toilet paper because figures are completely meaningless.

**Grux** · 11-15-10, 09:37 PM

I wonder if Shanahan was consulted in regards to the extension?

**ukbro00** · 11-15-10, 09:48 PM

McNabb might have the worst RBs/WRs combo in the NFL.

**SpeedPro** · 11-15-10, 09:53 PM

Ahh but look who heard all your cynicism. McNabb heard you and is now making his come back. This is turning out to be an amazing game. Never mind that I went for the over and made my money by the 2nd quarter.

**woody78** · 11-15-10, 10:05 PM

Local DC radio confirmed its 40 MM guaranteed. D Mac is not that bad, he's playing with a #3/practice squad RB and the worst WR's in the NFL. His O-line is also one of the worst right now, just terrible. He's no Vick, but the doesn't have his weapons either.

**WeinketoWarrick** · 11-15-10, 10:06 PM

Snyder is no genius.

**NYSportsGuy210** · 11-15-10, 10:17 PM

You calling this bad...ever heard of JaMarcus Russell?

**Mr. Peepers** · 11-15-10, 10:21 PM

i would take Vick for the 2.5 mil he is getting this yr

most obvious statement of the century.

**BadNina** · 11-15-10, 10:48 PM

It kinda makes a little sense. This way Washington can draft a QB this spring and have a chance for him to learn for a couple of years and train him right. A rookie could learn a lot from McNabb.

**Igetp2s** · 11-15-10, 10:52 PM

This might be the 1st time a guy has gotten a lucrative long term extension after getting benched in the prior game.

All I've been hearing for 2 weeks is how McNabb and Shanahan don't get along. The Redskins couldn't wait a few weeks to see how he performs after the benching?

That impacted the Cow Boys for 15+ years

**MadTiger** · 11-15-10, 11:01 PM

The extras are a smoke screen, sort of. Hell, they may have a lockout next year. McNabb is not seeing most of that money.

**mtneer1212** · 11-15-10, 11:04 PM

Brock is actually making a lot of sense here........ it just buried Washington for years to come.

Story of his career. Blame the defense, blame the lack of a running game, blame the lack of all-pro calibur receivers, then when you have all of the above, puke in the Super Bowl. Then blame youth.

**gomiamigo** · 11-15-10, 11:27 PM

$80m for Elton Brand
$54m for Kenny Thomas
$36m for Greg Buckner
Sam Dalembert
Kyle Korver

**MadTiger** · 11-15-10, 11:29 PM

Don't forget one of the guys who started it all:

Jon Koncak

He didn't puke in the SB. It is the most watched, most video'd game of the year, every year with the most cameras. He puked in the reg season at TB, but never in the SB.

You can get $Tens of thousands or more if you have any...you know...photographic or video evidence of this. I'm sure they would have mentioned it during the game or on replay. Surely you have some available.

I do blame the complete lack of WRs in Philly for every year of his prime but 1. And the Defense for allowing Zona to come back after McNabb erased a 24-pt halftime deficit on the road.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 11-15-10, 11:41 PM

David Beckham, Los Angeles Galaxy
Five years, $250 million

Denny Neagle, Colorado Rockies
$51.5 million

Jerome James, New York Knicks
five year, $30 million contract may not seem bad but his 3.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 9 minutes per game would argue otherwise. Thanks to Isiah Thomas.

He puked figuratively if not literally. I just watched the game again this offseason, and the way he slowly shuffled up to the line was pathetic. The guy has laid eggs in so many big games.

And the 'zona game where the D let Philly down (as so many defenses do in those University of Phoenix lights) McNabb still had a chance on the last drive and threw four consecutive god-awful passes. It's no wonder shanny didn't want him running the two minute drill. If he'd gotten the last one close, he might have even gotten a PI called on it when his receiver got mugged, but the ball was uncatchable.

The bottom line is the guy is not in the same class as Brady/Brees/Manning and not even in the class of Schaub/Manning II etc, and he's not getting any better. Eagles are way better off and the Skins have an albatross of a contract. But to paraphrase McNabb "everybody makes mistakes, and Dan Snyder made one this offseason."

**mvp123** · 11-16-10, 12:13 AM

NON BINDING CONTRACT GUYS ...THINK ABOUT IT

**rem sleep** · 11-16-10, 12:22 AM

$40 million guaranteed means he can get cut tomorrow and still get paid $40 million.
