49,000 yards vs. 33,000 yards. 4 seasons with over 4500 yards passing vs. NO seasons over 4000 yards passing.
Although, personally, I think McNabb has a shot at the HOF without a SB, he's still got to step up his game a bit.
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
I like McNabb a lot, but he's got another 16,000 yards and 75 TD's to go to reach Moon. He's got a good chance, but I think he's on the outside looking in. I wish him luck....except this Sunday, of course.

hey gary, you were one of the posters i was following and nodding my head in agreement to when the cushing thing hit the fan. cheers!
When people talk about not knowing jack about football, people like you are who they are talking about.
I'm not saying that it is impossible to get into the HOF without a Super Bowl win.
Jim Kelly never won the big game either, but he's in the HOF.
I said, for Donovan to get in, he's going to have to win a Super Bowl.
McNabb ain't no Warren Moon.

What is with Skin fan's confidence? They did not score a touchdown last game on the offensive side of the ball. There was little pressure on McNabb, and it was more about Romo just not making throws. The Redskins blitzed and blitzed and failed to create enough pressure to really get to Romo. Dallas moved the ball pretty easily and you could call the playcalling as the reason they lost the game. They ran for firstdowns when they wanted too. I have no doubt it will be a tough game though.
I thought the Cowboys lack of scoring had more to do with their bad preseason than the Redskins defense. Albert Haynesworth apparently does not know how to play nose tackle. He would just jump gaps and take himself out of the play. The cut back lanes will be open once again with our running game. There linebackers are athletic but seem to struggle with pass coverage.
I find it funny people say our secondary is so weak. Is it a suprise Peyton Manning gained so many yards on so many throws against a prevent defense. I think fans will be surpised at how disruptive our D-line is.

Anyone can post highlights, man. Just sayin, I respect the guy, but even our practice squad guys have youtube highlights haha.
This, damnit. Thanks for nothin, Devin Thomas and Malcom Kelly.
And don't lie, we allllllllllllll want to see Romo get pancaked as often as possible.
1)Not just first round picks, but too much talent. 'Preciate the respect. Going to be VERY interesting to see how our secondary matches up against your ridiculous passing game, I just hope we can get in Schaub's face, throw him off.
2)So technically, you won't have the best LB duo on Sunday :-)
3)FINALLY! Someone giving CP some respect, although he'll have to run better than he did last week, which will be tough.
LAST SEASON! Last season doesn't mean a thing this season, how long is going to take some of you to realize that??? Foster won't get 115 yards. Andre Johnson scares the bejesus out of me though. Our starting safety Kareem Moore is still out and Laron, while he had a monster game against Dallas, makes mistakes sometimes and AJ lives to exploit DB mistakes.
yeah ok, buddy.
You say that we shouldn't consider last season, only this season when it comes to our passing game. Yet, you discount our running game this season because of last season.
Can't have it both ways.

Exactly. And, if we point out that the Skins were terrible last season and had a horrible record, he will respond: "But that was LAST season. Let's talk about THIS season!"
Ignore the uninformed.

A friend of mine lives in DC. He has season tickets. He and I were texting each other while he was at FedEx Field. AFter the game, he was really upset because he thought the skins looked terrible and that they should have scored an offensive touchdown.
I tried to tell him to accept the W, but he really didn't want to hear it. He thinks the Skins still have work to do.
Overall, he's right. He's a much more realistic Redskins fan than some of those who have posted here.

That is true, and a ring does not make you HOF worthy either... Look at Eli, not so sure he is going to get there, look at Dilfer, he too has 1, he's not getting in, and there are others, but I would say 2-3 decent years for McNabb and he will have a really good chance.. not a first ballot guy, but I think his numbers would have been enough to warrant his selection...

McNabb seems to be a guy that is either really hot or cold. We need to get constant pressure on him to start the game and get him out of his comfort zone. He makes plays but I have a feeling our front four will be able to do some damage.

Don't let it worry you, you're still welcome. We talk to each other like that, too. Hell, I've been accused of having a Loser's Mentality because I don't want to fire Kubiak.
Don't worry about it.
What about Drew Brees?!?!
Anyone that can take the team that used to be the standing joke of the NFL and make them world champs deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Did I mention he beat your two HoF candidates - and two others - on his way to the championship. Last season Brees faced down Brady (reg. season but on MNF), Kurt Warner (playoffs), Brett Favre (playoffs), and Peyton Manning (SB).
And he's been putting up the right kinds of numbers too; averaging over 4500 yds and 30 TDs per season since he's been with the Saints.
Before anyone says he's "a system QB" think about how long Brady and Manning have been in their respective systems. They're more system QBs than Brees is because neither of them have played anywhere else let alone been successful elsewhere as Brees has.
In fact, Brees gets my vote for the HoF before Manning.

I really enjoy having the opposing team's perspective. I really welcome you guys to post here. Never did I call you stupid or talk smack, I simply stated that we weren't saying you were "wrong", we were simply stating our opinion that happened to be different.
And you took that to be us correcting you or telling you that you were wrong (or stupid, but I can't remember a case of that).
But whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Taking broad swipes at most of the board members for simply disagreeing with you could possibly draw some ire or be confused with "generic smack".

As usual on the road: no turnovers.

On offense, I think they just need to be patient. Give what the defense is giving them and don't try to force any balls in. I think we're going to see a lot of run to set up the pass.
On defense, I think they need to play disciplined to stop the run. We've seen this running scheme in practice and if anyone knows how to stop it, it's Frank Bush and Gary Kubiak. Try to get pressure on McNabb without selling out. And probably a little more zone so that our secondary have their eyes looking back into the pocket in case McNabb breaks contain.

I had no idea Arian Foster's mom post on the HoustonTexans.com message board. Pretty cool

I think that's always been a knock on Arian...top end speed. He sure isn't the most speedy guy on the team. Not even close. But he has enough speed, good football speed as you can see, because he's run by many good SEC corners. I still think he's got enough speed to take one to the house, but he would need to prove that in this league.
It's been said, since he was 7 actually, that he's got a natural ability to shed tacklers. He tends to glide rather than cut, goes with the defense, has good vision and patience. His running style tends to be more fluid but still he has the size and power to deliver a blow. One thing you'll notice in the highlight film is that he rarely allows a good solid hit on him. He can turn his body to avoid a direct hit. He also has a great stiff arm and he will use it.
His hands are underrated. His dad played WR in his day so he taught both my sons how to see a ball in. That's been instilled at a very young age. He's worked on catching for a very many years. It's been said he's got soft hands, which is a good thing.
The one thing that stands out to me watching those highlights is how much better he is now at powering through tackles. In some of those where he was tripped up, I'm not so sure that would be as easy to do now. I think his offseason work out really focused on speed, footwork, burst and powering through tackles. I look at that film now and I think he's a much more solid ball player...in all areas of his game.
It's good to see his hard work pay off. I'm happy for him.

Jones is more than just a highlight reel. People usually think of him as just a return ace, but he was a very legitimate threat through the air last year, catching 6 TDs. Very productive considering that he had only 27 receptions for the season. He doesn't always have the most reliable hands but the guy is a playmaker.

I'll put it this way Stats and prowbowls are more likely to get you into the HOF. You might be an average QB and win a ring i.e. Trent D. Superbowls and stats are the key you play at a very high level for most of the season but don't win the Superbowl for X reason you will probably still get in just not on the first valid. Winning rings helps out your HOF cause a lot if you are on the cusp. So, rings do not get you in or out of the HOF but if you are not the ropes by meeting all of the other standars of HOF status then they could sure help you get in there. This is the best way I could put it.

If you're still around, I think you just picked the wrong MB to compare McNumbnuts to Warren Moon.
Other than that, I thought you were getting along with us just fine.
