Ummmm the Iggles got a 2nd AND a 3rd for McNabb.

Washington had the higher 2nd than we did.

Yay...waitaminnit, now it will be another notch on the anti-ownersing anthem. "the owners suck cause they didn't go after McNabb" and "the owners showed us that they don't care about anything but the almighty $"

One thing guys, didn't the Iggles trade us someone this past decade? Remember? For T.O.? Man that was a HELL of a deal for us right?

If the Iggles thought that McNabb had much left in the tank, do you HONESTLY think they would have traded him to the Skins??? Even for a 2nd and a 3rd?

My line of thinking is if I'm the guy holding McNabb's contract and you're in my division you're paying more than my initial price.

Well I'm glad it's over but...

I gotta feel bad for Jason Campbell, he gonna get pushed bad. Plus the Skins gave up alot for McNabb. However we would given up mush more.

Yup. Campbell has really gotta be hating Snyder and Shannahan right about now. Wouldn't surprise me if he asked for a trade or his outright release so he can go someplace where he has a chance to be the Starter. He's got no chance now. Well okay he has a guaranteed 8 games.

Basically but I think Campbell wants out of DC especially how they dissed him last off season. I live in Dc early talk is that Carolina and Buffalo are very interested. would be smart to trade him for whatever they can get at this point.

Yes, the Eagles traded us some bum with a bad knee for TO - nice work front office !

And yes, the ownership sucks because they didn't go after McNabb. They should have shopped Alex for a 4th or 5th rounder and given it to them along with our second for McNabb. No doubt the Eagles would have done it to keep him out of their division.

Apparently, there wasn't much of a market for him. Either the Raiders weren't interested, or Reid and Co. showed him some compassion by not sending him there.

Now, I know you're upset with us haters, but I just can't understand your blind allegience to this front office and ownership of fools.

If I remember correctly, We traded TO to the Ravens...TO's agent f--ked up somehow.

TO was set to become a free agent, but his agent did not file the proper paperwork with the league in time. Agent claimed the league moved up the filing date without providing proper notice. Niners had already accepted that TO was gone through free agency without any compensation. When they retained his rights after the miscue they immediately traded TO to the Ravens. TO said he wouldn't play for the Ravens and filed a grievance with the league. Ultimately, the league intervened and allowed a deal to be worked out sending TO to Philadelphia, with some, lesser, compensation to the Niners than what they would have received from the Ravens had the deal stuck. I don't know what ever happened to that compensation from Philadelphia, whether it was a player or a draft pick.

Whether you like Smith or not (I do), not trading for McNabb for fairly modest demands is a very strong sign that the team is confident in Smith. It's one thing to say it, but action (inaction) speaks louder than words. I'm sure the $11 million salary for a 34 year old had something to do with it as well. Watch Smith go off next year, playing out the final year of his contract. It's been known to happen.

TO qualified for Free Agency. You have to be a blind hater to blame that on our owners. After his agent screwed up we did put together a trade to get some value but the League intervened.

But don't let inconvenient facts get in the way of your rant.

We got Brandon Whiting(injured) and a 6th if I remember correctly. Both turned out(as you can see from the parenthesis after his name) to be crap.

I find it insane that people think that management should have thrown their hat in the ring for McNabb. But whatever; Say we did. We would have had to give up more than what Washington did which was a 2nd and next years 3rd. So logic says that we would have had to cough up a 1st outright for him OR we would have had to cough up two 2nds given that we pick behind Washington's pick.

McNabb is not worth that much. Sorry but it's true. So you're hating on management for not even half heartedly making an attempt?

You Alex haters just STFU about the man. I swear if you an me were in the same room watching a game someone would be getting their ass kicked. Cause I truly cannot stand loud mouth jerks interrupting my games. And that is how you come across to me. You come off like you think your crap don't stink and you could do no wrong.

How bout we just agree to let it go one way or the other? Let's see what he has by the end of the season. If he fails we're DEFINITELY moving on. If he succeeds he'll be here for a few more years and you haters can reload and try again.

In any case this is the lamest 9er related argument given all the damn issues that this team has.

Sorry bout the rant guys, I'm just fed up with the infighting.

How do you figure we'd have to give up more than Washington did?

And "yes", I'm hating on management for not even a half-hearted attempt.

McNabb will take the 'skins to the playoffs this year.

Now, I know you're upset with us haters, but I just can't understand your blind allegience to this front office and ownership of fools.

If I remember correctly, We traded TO to the Ravens...TO's agent f--ked up somehow.

TO was set to become a free agent, but his agent did not file the proper paperwork with the league in time. Agent claimed the league moved up the filing date without providing proper notice. Niners had already accepted that TO was gone through free agency without any compensation. When they retained his rights after the miscue they immediately traded TO to the Ravens. TO said he wouldn't play for the Ravens and filed a grievance with the league. Ultimately, the league intervened and allowed a deal to be worked out sending TO to Philadelphia, with some, lesser, compensation to the Niners than what they would have received from the Ravens had the deal stuck. I don't know what ever happened to that compensation from Philadelphia, whether it was a player or a draft pick.

We got Brandon Whiting(injured) and a 6th if I remember correctly. Both turned out(as you can see from the parenthesis after his name) to be crap.

I find it insane that people think that management should have thrown their hat in the ring for McNabb. But whatever; Say we did. We would have had to give up more than what Washington did which was a 2nd and next years 3rd. So logic says that we would have had to cough up a 1st outright for him OR we would have had to cough up two 2nds given that we pick behind Washington's pick.

McNabb is not worth that much. Sorry but it's true. So you're hating on management for not even half heartedly making an attempt?

How do you figure we'd have to give up more than Washington did?

And "yes", I'm hating on management for not even a half-hearted attempt.

McNabb will take the 'skins to the playoffs this year.

Obviously they weren't worried about trading him in the division if they traded him to the Skins dude, they were worried about getting the best offer and they think they can beat whatever team he's on because he's washed up. If they were scared of him they would've traded him to the AFC like Oakland. We would've had to give up 13 or 2nd this year and next year to beat Washington's offer, either would've been f**king dumb for us.
