Bcause, as has been stated... Campbell is younger, cheaper, and fits our needs better...

I don't know that I buy that last part.

Said elsewhere; if Moore weren't established as a starter, I'd agree. Circumstances now make me think otherwise.

Donovan McNabb is far and away a better quarterback than Campbell. There's a reason that, uh, the Redskins traded for him while they had Campbell already.

It's so depressing to see this fanbase to naturally start off by not wanting the great quarterback because "it's not our style".

Now I'm of the opinion that it should be Moore or bust this season, so I wouldn't have been all in favor of getting McNabb. But if given the option of seeing McNabb as a Panther next year or Campbell, I'd choose McNabb every time. It's telling that so many of you were never even willing to entertain the possibility of a potential Hall of Fame quarterback still playing damn well coming here and are much more excited at the prospects of Jason Campbell. That's not a slam on you guys, it's just natural because low expectations have been beaten into us when it comes to player personnel because of what Fox and Hurney have done in the past and especially this offseason.

I would love to have McNabb. Hell, I'd love to have kept Peppers. I wish we'd have made a move for Boldin or Marshall. I'd love to have a lot of players that it's just not reasonable for us to pick up right now.

Bringing in Campbell as a No. 2 is a smarter move for this team than giving away multiple draft picks for McNabb.

Yeah, let's piss away our only real shot at getting a good young WR talent to play opposite Smitty this season or a starting outside linebacker, and more, to get a QB that is old, washed up, and doesn't fit our system of game management/making smart decisions (Jake Delhomme excluded)...

this.. we have muuuch bigger needs than QB right now. to spend picks elsewhere shouldn't be entertained..

although I don't feel McNabb is washed up..

and what makes you think that a rookie WR will actually make an impact for this team?

I'd much rather trade for a young but experienced WR then pick of a rookie WR in the 2nd round and furthermore, use our 2nd round pick on a defensive player

This proves that you know nothing about the NFL other than the Panthers. McNabb just had one of the best seasons of his career last year. Try to fail less when you reply to a poster of my caliber next time.

A system of game management/making smart decisions? McNabb had the second best TD-to-INT ratio in the league last year. That sounds a wee bit better than the guy that's been our "smart decision" quarterback since '03.

Also, keep in mind that I also didn't want to go after McNabb. My point is that not being interested in McNabb at all after a decade of Delcrap while simultaneously being interested in Jason Campbell is pretty sad.
