McNabb: Peyton, Redskins Would Be Poor Fit

NFL.com - Donovan McNabb doesn't think the Redskins should sign Peyton Manning if the quarterback becomes available.

"Peyton's not gonna go there," McNabb said recently on ESPN Radio's John Thompson Show. "I don't see Peyton ending up in Washington. Because what happens is now, you're bringing in another veteran who will be 35 36, who has been in one offense throughout his career. It's the same situation.

"Now he comes over, and as they say now, Peyton is such an offensive coordinator on the offense. So now what does that do to your offensive coordinator? Does he step down? Does he step back? Does he begin to change the whole offense according to the play of the quarterback that he has in Peyton Manning? Well, I didn't see that happen, so I definitely don't see that happening for Peyton."

McNabb had a horrible tenure with Washington after the team acquired him in a trade with the Eagles in 2010. McNabb and Mike Shanahan did not work well together, and the result was a 6-10 season.

"You know what, as I look back on that year, I was very excited on joining the Washington Redskins," McNabb said.

"I loved Dan Snyder, I love his attitude and his approach. I loved Bruce Allen and what he was trying to do. Situations were a lot different once I got there, with coaching and play calling and things of that nature, where it wasn’t suited around the talent of your quarterback."

I can see how McNabb is going to look out for a potential Hall of Famer, but in this case, Peyton >>>>> McNabb. McNabb is just trying to save grace in his career by bashing the Redskins for how they treated him. I mean if he could throw the ball accurately past the LOS then he could have been successful in the offense.

Just a bad trade that didnt work out. It happens. Not sure on the route the Skins want to go with their QB position but one thing is for sure that the consensus among fans and analysts is that they NEED a QB who is not on the roster at this moment in time.
