Randle El still useful?

Right, a waste of money and overall disappointment for the team. This was a bad signing when it happened and if I remember the Brandon Lloyd trade and signing happened around the same time. 2 more poor FO signings in a long line of stupid ass FO moves. The FO needs to realize championships are built through the draft. Drafting depth and trading picks for old players like Jason Taylor

Well said.

Agreed. I think next year Moss is this year's ARE, and next year's ARE is this year's Thrash.

As I said in another post on another thread, it's not ARE's fault he was given the contract he was given. And he wasn't brought here to be the #2. He was brought here to play the slot and Lloyd was supposed the #2, if not the #1.

I think that it will be a couple of years before they can unseat Moss. I agree that eventually he will be nasty in the slot just like Wes Welker.

I like him too. But having small average wr's isn't doing this offense any good and it seems to hurt us in the red zone. But let's see how he does in the slot this year.

If he becomes a to-go guy on 3rd down and scores 6+ TDs because the defense is concentrating on the tall WRs, Moss and trying to remember Cooley in the red zone, wouldn't you agree that he's valuable enough to be paid?

IF he excels in the role, he's definitely worth the price this year...the other years, we'll just have to eat the cost.

Don't they have someone else at Redskins Park that can get take out?

This is where i was going to go with this argument until you brought it up. ARE should have been playing the slot from day one with the redskins, but with no number 2 receiver he was forced into action.

I like ARE. As a mater of fact I am sitting here in a Randle El jersey, but I am not sure of his usefulness. he is not a good punt returner and his numbers have not been great. I can't imagine he is going anywhere but i am not sure it would make a huge difference if he did

agreed, not great but decent; in 08; 53 receptions, 593 yrds, 4 td's

I think he can put up no.s if he plays the slot & one of the other wr's becomes a deep threat in addition to Moss. ARE can get open in the middle of the field and he's been very dependable, doesn't drop much. He's just not a burner & he doesn't work well on the outside, near the sideline. He runs good crossing routes/slants & finds pockets in zones well.

I should qualify my statement about punt returning he was 54th in the league last year with a 6.5 yard average and two fumbles. so he held it pretty good but not much in the way of yards
