do you think this is crazy

Keep our QB's. Sign a nasty o-lineman that can stay onsides.

I agree with dragon'. Trade for Brees or Kitna, maybe. I'm almost sure Gardner won't be here next year. And Morton, Barrow, and perhaps Daniels are on the bubble for being hurt and unproductive. Betts has the most trade value and one may speculate Simon could backup Portis when healthy. Looking forward to the draft, we could use a stalwart OT to fill Samuels spot (the dude just doesn't want to renegotiate his contract), pass rushing DE, G, CB, and PK/KR.

I would say keep the team, for the most part, intact. We need to do something on the offensive live, and getting Jansen back and healthy will improve 100%. He's our best player, hands down. The only places I would look now, is possibly Bettis and have a 1-2 punch with a true bruiser of a back. Get rid of Brunell in the least expensive way possible. Pick up Brees, Dilfer, Kitna or Fiedler and let Ramesy and the new QB fight for the job.

Minus a consistant QB and a decent offensive line, we have a really, really good team. Good depth at WR, great RB. Solid special teams play from Thrash. I'm not ready to blame the WRs for inconsistancy because I don't think anyone would open themselves up over and over again for injury to chase down Brunells ducks, and Ramesy hasn't had a true chance with the system. I mean, his 1st 2 starts are going to be Philly and Pittsburg. Funny enough though, if we can eek out a win against the Steelers (I think we match up well against them) and Philly at home (as long as the offense can score some points) we have a realistic playoff shot as our other games are Dallas, San Fransisco, New York (G) and Minnesota in week 17, which given Minnesota over the last few years, is like a gimme game.

In the draft, I would get Marcus Spears (DE) from LSU

definitely get rid of brunell, trade gardener for picks and call me crazy if you want to but I say trade arrington, the skins have had the #1 defense pretty much all year without him, he seems to be hurt alot the past couple seasons and IMO he has not lived up to his potential

no way do the skins trade arrington. he's been the best defensive player the skins have had since he was drafted. as far as him living up to his potential, i think he has, espacially when you consider he hasn't played for the same d-coordinator since he's been here ( 5 in 5 years ). he is also a leader on d, he's a game breaker, he creates turnovers, he's a pro-bowler. the skins d is good without him and their keeping the games close but with arrington the d would be great and possibly winning games rather than just keeping them close. no way do we trade arrington.

I just don't think Brunell is going anywhere. If we cut him after July 1, we are going to have to eat 6-7 million in dead cap room in 2006, when most of the salaries on the team will escalate.

I am not sure if we would trade Samuels right now, but I don't think its a terrible idea. He hasn't really lived up to his salary.

Gardiner should definately be traded. He has been dropping passes since he got here and I'm just sick of it.

Ramsey is not going to be traded. There is just no way its going to happen.

I think Ramsey will be our guy at least through next season...I feel before we can write him off, he needs a full season starting under Gibbs' system...unless he plays as bad as Brunell which I don't think any other QB in the league could play that badly...except for Henson (hehe j/k.) The WRs is a question mark right now. Coles is still our best receiver, but he's going to have to be healthy to make an impact. Gardner has the ability if he would just catch the freakin' ball more! Portis is okay, but what I have said before is that we need a big fullback for those 3 and short plays....Portis is best on 1st and 2nd down. Maybe trade LB for a big Bettis size FB and upgrade the OL. Get our injured starters back on the line and bring in some huge guys to reinstall the jumble package that Gibbs used in the 80's (heavy jumble which he got from John Madden.) Face it guys...our offense is going to be mostly ball control..running to set up the pass so we might as well work on getting the OL repaired first....and developing the QBs and WRs that we have right now.

Lavar is a great player, but is health a concern? it doesnt matter how good you are if you arent on the field.....

A drastic overhaul isn't needed.

Minimal changes is what I'd like to see.
