--No kooky links today, just opinions.
--As a Redskins sympathizer (considering how much the team has changed since that brief run of likability after Sean Taylor's murder, when I first got hooked, it's tough to call me a fan) I guess I have to comment on the McNabb trade. Jason Campbell got drafted into a terrible situation, with poor receivers and an aging (and soon to be obsolete) o-line. He got approximately one half of a good season out of Clinton Portis, during which time Campbell was a fringe Pro Bowler. While "regressing" this last season and a half, his receivers led the league in drops, the running game was nonexistent, and after Chris Samuels went down Campbell got sacked while taking three-step drops, to say nothing of the crippling schematic issues that came with Jim Zorn.
In short, Campbell was boned from the beginning. Throughout it all, he handled himself with class (a nebulous concept at best, but he never called out his teammates or coaches), and got repaid with a characteristically short-sighted move from Skins management. He deserved better than to find out from a reporter, and not his own team, that a trade had been made for his replacement. He deserves better than to end up in Oakland, which, along with Carolina and Arizona, is looking like a likely suitor.
