Colin Cowherd Takes Another Swipe

I'd be willing to bet a large amount of money that the people who don't like Cowherd don't like him only because of what he said about Virginia a while back.

If you ask me, both accounts have some truth to them. I don't mind the drafting of draft picks so long as we keep a good amount of them as to where we have a decent showing on draft day(s).

Like I've said in a couple of threads, we did finish the season 12 starters that were drafted as Redskins. How many teams can lay hold to that claim?

Not many.

How many teams are picking 5th this year?

As tough as it is for the GIG crowd to swallow this guy's rant he's dead on, the problem is no one can actually believe Gibbs is this pathetic with personel, well it ain't changing so get used to losing until someone man's the ship and starts running the teams personel department with some kind of legitamacy, and who knows we may get lucky and find a genious to handle the GM duties, but right now between Gibb's, Cerratto, and Snyder, we may as well have the 3 stooges assembling talent!

Going back to the Business of Football and how successful Snyder has been, here's a good website (Forbes) that shows all of the teams and breaks down their value. Pretty interesting. The Raiders by the way rank somewhere like 28.

I dont think anyone on this site questions Dans ability to make money. I dont think that is what this thread started out to be. Dan is great at making money, putting a positive spin on things. what we are saying is, the running of the football operations needs to improve. Who cares how much money we make if we can't win more than 5 or 6 games a year!!

How many impressive victories do you think the average playoff team has? In 2005, we had the 2nd toughest schedule of any team in the NFL (SD was No. 1). In 2005, we blew out a few teams, some crappy, some good. Blowout victories are usually very indicitive of team dominance. This year, we blew nobody out, and got boned in some close games that we should have won, and ended up losing. We were much better than 5-11, I think, but we left crappy teams in the game--something that the 05 team never did (outside of the Oakland game last season--very telling of things to come). This allowed inferior rosters like Tennessee and Minnesota to win close games against us.

Bottom line: if we want to get back to winning, this team will have to show that it can dominate some games in 2007.

if you want to say we lost games we should have won, well we definately won a game or two that could have gone the other way. Dallas comes to mind, Jacksonville. The only impressive win I can think of from last year was the New Orleans game. that was a total team effort and looked like a playoff team. The other 15 games, not so rememberable as team dominance.

First off Colin Cowherd is a Jim Rome wannabe and I'm sick of his act. ESPN brought him in like the second coming after Kornheiser left and he immediately commenced sucking a$$.

Granted he brings up a lot of good points but he still talked trash about our team. It's like someone talking trash about family. You can call your brother a SOB but don't let the guy down the street call your brother a SOB.


dude, you should turn off the radio! somebody talks about the Redskins, and they automatically suck? seriously, get a hobby. I am a die hard skins fan, but until the Redskins actually win some games, CONSISTANTLY, over a period of more than 1 year, you are going to hear it year in and year out. get use to it.

Cowherd sucks for much more than his opinions on the Skins.

How many teams are picking 5th this year?

One...the Arizona Cardinals

LOL perfect

Amen.

It was just a simple fact-based response to Colin's comment:

"PATHETIC. BRUTAL. You can't run a business that way!"
