RobH4413 03-21-2006, 02:07 PM Ok, so let me get this straight. The Redskins seriously upgrade their WR corp, a major weakness late in the season, even though they still were within 2 games of the Superbowl. Drop L. Arrington and his big contract, who was only on the filed during about a 3rd of their games. Sign a serious pass rusher at DE and a slobberknocker at Safety and they are losers in FA?!?!
These guys are all jealous because their favorite teams won't spend money.
Also, someone please tell me how getting T.O. makes you a winner, when I am sure this same media guy talked about how bad a person T.O. was at some point last year.
T.O. was signed to a 3 year 25 MILLION$ deal
so this guy is hating...on the redskins for spending money on proven team players focusing on our needs.... and absolving the cowboys who released one crazy but talented receiver, and signed another even-crazier and talented receiver.
yeah, i refuse to post anymore about this guy, he's obviously smoking somethin.
Monksdown 03-21-2006, 02:09 PM My favorite is one paragraph implying that the Antwaan deal was a poor one for us. And then the next paragraph he criticizes Pittsburgh for losing his him.
Do what?
12thMan 03-21-2006, 02:13 PM These guys kill me when they call Archuletta the highest paid safety in history.
They totally lose perspective. The entire contract isn't guaranteed and more than likely he'll restructure the deal somewhere down the line.
backrow 03-21-2006, 02:20 PM Hmmmmm?
Maybe this is why these scribes write about the Redskins the way they do. To get us talking!
Otherwise, this is a semi-almost comatose period for the B&G. We've made our FA acquisitions, and are waiting for 50+ picks in the NFL Draft preceeding ours, then waiting for the second day of the Draft, then waiting a long, long time for the start of TC!

Washington -- The Redskins' cap situation will be their biggest obstacle to improvement this offseason. Even if LaVar Arrington is cut after June 1 and counts just $5 million against the 2006 cap, Washington still will have to shave another $15 million off the anticipated $95 million cap. Bottom line? It'll be tough for the Redskins to land the top-notch No. 2 receiver they covet.
Yeah it was sooooo tough to land that no. 2 receiver. Even harder to land two!
12thMan 03-21-2006, 02:28 PM ....furthermore, every off season they talk about how we'll be strapped for cash and we'll have to purge the roster for the upcoming seasons....amazing how this hasn't happened yet!!

You just can't win with these guys for a reason. Most of the writers for SI, ESPN and the like started off as beat writers, and at times their roots as homers come shining through. This definitely explains Peter King's anti-Skin bias, he covered the Giants for years. I mean King defends keeping Monk out of the Hall of Fame by saying that "Gary Clark was a bigger threat" all while forgetting that it was the quiet excellence of Monk who allowed Clark, Brown, Sanders, and all the other big play threats to do their jobs while he only caught the most balls in NFL history up to that point.
As for winners and losers in free agency, to put the Skins down as losers because they've figured out a way to keep attaining free agents and avoid the cap hell that has plagued other teams is ludicrous and I attribute it to one thing. Hate. The league hates Snyder because he took the Skins and made them the most profitable team in the league, because his revenue streams allow him to dish out $5 and $10 mil signing bonuses like bottled water while other franchises try to get the same results on the cheap.
More ninnyism, from Redskin hatin' ninny's. Is it hard to see why they write a column (such as it is), rather than actually have to produce something, or be accountable for their work? It must be rough to be WRONG, ALL the time. I have to fall back on the recent comments of John Clayton, Mel Kyper, etc. "In 06' the skins will have to be reckoned with", they will be THE team to beat in the east, if not the NFC". They are "DEFINATELY much improved with their FA picks
Paintrain 03-21-2006, 02:46 PM The only thing that will shut these mediots up is winning a Super Bowl.. Until that happens then we will continue to be subjected to all of their Snyder, Brunell and Gibbs bashing..
ho-hum, same old cap hell theory at work yet again
