Can't argue too much w/them, but the funny thing to me is that this writer is in Denver, which along w/the cowpokes is the only team that rivals us in FA signings. They usually are close to us in cap space or lack thereof.
Don't forget that Denver made the trade w/us which allowed us to draft JC, who I believe is developing into a top notch qb. Thanks Broncos!
Ummm, I don't know if we can thank the Broncos just yet. Let's see how JC progresses -- then, maybe we can have the last laugh.
Otherwise, the Broncos not only have a far better win-loss record than Washington over the last few seasons, they also got the best of us with the Champ + a 2nd rounder for Portis deal.

I agree Beem, we have no idea what JC can do.
Also, Denver is a perennial playoff contender while the Redskins have become perennial bottom dwellers. If the Skins had half the recent success Denver has had we'd consider ourselves lucky.

I certainly agree w/you on the Champ trade, I hated to see him go. But the trade for JC looks like it was worth it regardless of what he does in the future. by that I mean it was worth the chance to draft a qb & develop him as the qb of the future. I'm not getting out the annointing oils just yet, but I like what I see from him & he seems to be a poised guy whose very grounded. T. Bradshaw rated him as 6th best of the young qbs in the league. That seems about right at this point.

jason campbell is a much better version of aaron brooks he can scramble big time arm but unlike brooks he has the field presence to know when to get the ball out of there

no doubt. They also were smart enough to trade for javon Walker while we were doing a deal for Brandon Loyd!

He didnt earn it here in Washington. Hopefully someday the Skins will draft a player watch him develop into a star and then pay him for what he has done here. I'm not holding my breath.

we are about to "overpay" nate clemts but that wont be an overpayment cause he has earned it
Yeah! He earned it for the Bills. That's not saying he will do the same here. (A-R-C-H-U-L-E-T-A; L-L-O-Y-D) Not saying that he won't either, just that there is no guarantee that his level of performance will be the same.
These decisions are not made in a vacuum. Are you happy to sign Clements if it jeopardizes signing Dockery and a #1 draft pick? Is $18 to $20 million the best use of the money?
Lets not get too excited yet.

Well, you know what? I'm not sold on Sean Taylor either. He did nothing but regress this year. Now, you could make the argument that he put too much on his shoulders and looked bad in a really bad secondary. But there are still question marks -- he got burned in pass coverage, took really bad angles on tackle attempts, and the knock on him after 3 seasons is still biting hard on play action. There's a whole lot of fine tuning for Sean Taylor to do.
He's a hell of an athlete and he makes some bone-jarring hits, but he's Arrington-esque in many alarming ways.
