Maske/JLC: Gibbs Hints Redskins Might Trade Up

You know what guys... I am sick and tired of getting all worked up over the Redskins. If they do a deal to move up or down or get Briggs I'm going to accept and cheer for my team. These guys have to know what they are doing, come on Joe Gibbs is the only coach of the Redskins to ever win a superbowl, so the guy knows how to build a football team. All of us fans want one thing or another and think the world os going to collapse around us if that doesn't happen. At this point I'm just like make us better how ever you do it just make us better.

HAIL!!

Im all down for calvin johnson, you dont see a player of this magnitude for years at a time. along with moss.... this would open up so much for the running game as well help moss big time in the intermediate routes. its ridiculous that you guys cant see that... you want campbell to work out, but you need to feed him. and calvin johnson is a lock. 6'5 230 runs a 4.35(40) and has the hands better than any wr in the NFL now.

I have a new draft strategy. Every year from now on, let's use all of our picks to secure the highest pick we can -- in the top 3. So we get 1 pick a year. Foregoing the rest of the draft, we can then buy the most expensive old veterans in the twilight of their careers. And let's have the roster turn over a lot, to try different combinations (the whole "team" thing is overrated).

Oh -- that isn't a new strategy, that's the existing strategy. My bad.

I'm a big Gibbs sycophant. I am. But the fact is, the guy signed off on Archuletta and Lloyd. How'd that work out? Gibbs didn't build his Super Bowl winning teams. Beathard did. I'm not saying he's not a good judge of character/talent, nor am I saying he is mistake prone. But I don't have blind faith in the man either. Joe Gibbs knows how to coach a football team. I think the jury is still out on whether or not he knows how to BUILD a football team.

Alright GM I can agree with that, but didn't Gibbs have a really big part on buildiing the offensive side of the ball during the 80s. On Arch I'd say he was more of a Gregg W mistake than Gibbs. Also the jury is still out, for me anyway, on B. Lloyd. I think the guy can make plays, he needs to have a good training camp and season. If not than he is done in Washington.

Just as I was trying to get my mind around the Briggs trade, Gibbs comes out with this one! I know that Calvin Johnson is a terrific WR, but we don't need him unless we can find someone to fob Brandon Lloyd off on. This idea of trading up makes NO SENSE AT ALL!

They're all a bunch of idiots! They should be going out for Italian Ice at Rita's in order to save a couple of dollars for tomorrow's dessert. Don't they know anything?
Yeah, there's no beating a Gelati from Rita's:

Custard on the bottom (Choc. Van, or the new hot pick is twist)
Ice in the middle (I hear mango has moved up a couple spots)
Custard on the bottom (the word custard just sounds delecious)

Let's not just focus on AA and BLloyd. I was just throwing them out there as recent examples.
We also let Antonio Pierce walk- MLB was a big weak spot last season.
We let Ryan Clark walk- He and Taylor worked SO well together
We traded away a 2nd round pick to get Rocky who we apparently have no interest in starting
We let Walt Harris walk- he has been pro-bowl caliber for San Fran and our pass protection has fallen off a cliff
David Patten, well, injuries weren't Gibbs fault but it was still a signing that didn't pan out at all.

I know Gibbs has made his share of good moves too, but like I said, I still don't trust the man to build a team. But I think our patience this offseason is a good sign. Floyd Reese needs a job, we need a GM!

The fans have the luxury of 20/20 hindsight vision.

Who traded up to aquire Jason Campbell? We all thought to ourselves, what the hell is Joe thinking?

Now we have our Franchise QB. From what I saw last year Campbell is the real deal.

Joe Gibbs is a football GOD and knows a hell of alot more about building a winning team than he gets credit for.

I really liked Campbell when he & Auburn beat my Hokies in 05 & I thought he'd make a great nfl qb, so I was really happy w/the trade to get him. It was criticized, I remember listening to espn radio when the trade was leaked before the draft & Dan Patrick ripped us for the trade. But we knew that Joe wouldn't hurry him in & we would need a qb for the future. We've got one & that shouldn't be underestimated in the least as a lot of teams don't.

So I agree, let's not knock Joe until we know more about the front office decision making. I personally think Joe is starting to exert his influence on the team, after listening to the wrong people last year. Look for him to be more hands on this year & get back to coaching.
