I love the move. If you start a rookie QB who is not ready to play in the league yet, you can destroy his confidence, thus providing us with another TJack. McNabb will be a great role model for him to follow, and I personally believe he’s still got alot left in the tank.
July 27, 2011 at 2:08 pm #984143YUCK!!!!!!
July 27, 2011 at 2:15 pm #984146Adam Schefter reported this morning that all the financials were worked out but then Donovon was having second thoughts because the Queens were not showing him enough love because they had the nerve to look at other QBs besides him.
This should end well.
July 27, 2011 at 2:17 pm #984150I am only ok wiht this if he understands that he is there to really foster the growth of our other qbs. For these type of players who’ve starterd and been the star for much of their career, this tends to be the biggest hurtle for them and creates the issues. (e.g farve) That is the major thing I am worried about and what it could do to the team.
overall, McNabb is servicable that is about it.
(I will not be drafting him in ff)July 27, 2011 at 2:30 pm #984158It’s nice to see a new coaching staff means a totally new thinking at the Q/B position.
Never thought the Vikings would ever go after an older,slower has-been Q/B!!!
Oh Wait….See- Warren Moon,Brett Favre,Randall Cunningham,Jeff George..ETC…. July 27, 2011 at 2:34 pm #984160Quote:

The vikes have not been able to get a good QB in the draft for many years. Poor choices on their part, and poor players to draft. I can’t say I am a McNab fan, but with the other choices on our roster, he seems like the best option available.
July 27, 2011 at 2:37 pm #984161I wonder if his walker and cheater glasses are included in the trade. You’d think they would learn to stay away from old retread QBs.
July 27, 2011 at 2:38 pm #984165i dont know…. i guess we will see how he does…now all we have to do is re-sign rice

If that is true that’s very very scary. And right, will not end well. Mcnabb has a recent history of acting like a baby the minute the fans or the media is calling for his back-up.. And in our case that’s exactly what will happen.
I am not excited about this at all.. IF the Vikings aren’t going to make a run at the SB then put the rookie in this year and beyond. It won’t do us any good to finish 7-9 and have our #1 pick riding the pine.. Just my 2cents.
July 27, 2011 at 3:12 pm #984188After the way #4 got pummeled last year, he better be ready for some running. It’s likely going to be a long year for him if we don’t do something to improve the O line.

that guy is as good as gone…
July 27, 2011 at 3:29 pm #984193I hear Joe Montana is in the best shape of his life, thanks to Sketcher Shape-Ups! Vikes should see if he’s available.
July 27, 2011 at 4:04 pm #984207I heard the major cost to the new MN stadium was a Nursing home wing.
July 27, 2011 at 4:40 pm #984225They must have a special washed up QB room out at Winter Park.
Oh; bye the way;I think they should trade AP

Did you forget the Vikes passed on Aaron Rodgers, TWICE??
July 27, 2011 at 5:00 pm #984237The only worse move would be bringing the old retired guy back.
All off season we heard how Musgrave would dump the West Coast offense and bring in the Atlanta style. So, now you want to bring in the ultimate West Coast, short dump pass, can’t run, over the hill, nobody else wants him quarterback?
Brilliant, I can’t wait to rip them from week 1 if it really happens.
Put the kid in there and let him run for his life. Like Kooty said there isn’t a offensive line or anybody to throw to anyway.

Yup, it’s not like we can get Peyton Manning, you either draft a good QB or deal with retreads.
Everybody wanted to run Daunte out of town and we never got a QB better than him until we got Favor. Let’s hope Ponder pans out eventually…

July 27, 2011 at 5:53 pm #984258give mcnabb some protection to go along with AP and i think you can easily expect a 22-26td 3500-4000 yd season out of him. washington was a terrible fit for him. no run game, no wideouts (santana moss is a midget), no line and even manning would struggle to put up numbers.
he’s a good guy and can win you football games. his only hiccups are health and a terrible stint in washington.

And the fact that he lost 3 NFC championship games and when he did have the chance to win the SB, he literally “PUKED” it away. But, I guess he got there.
July 27, 2011 at 7:34 pm #984297Why is everyone saying he’s old? At 34, he’s a rookie compared to Favre.

At 40 Farve will still have more talent also.

jim kelly and dan marino are 2 of the greatest qb’s to ever play the game.
July 27, 2011 at 8:39 pm #984317Is Ray Edwards signed yet?
If he and Rice left, there would be some large holes to fill.
I do not care who QB’s this season as it will be a few years before we can put together a good team to contend.

Right, But I don’t think the fans are interested in an old washed up puker.
July 27, 2011 at 9:34 pm #984334i’m still not sure how he’s old and washed up. he’s 1 yr removed from avging 250 yds/ 1.5 tds a game in 08/09. he still avged 250 and 1 in washington. that puts him in the top half of starting qb’s even last year.
he’ll only be a placeholder for you guys until draft picks are ready. but he’ll be a better placeholder than say, kyle orton or anyone else available. he’s not a turnover machine, a decent game manager and he loves to get rb’s involved in the passing game.
