Apparently you missed the draft threads, or the threads that Dirtbag did breaking down the plays. I think you just focus on the negative things I write instead of the positive. Also, there is a common theme (negative) with the posts because this franchise has been negative for the past decade. It's been blunder after blunder for so long. I've stated time and time again I'm happy with the direction of this franchise at it's current state and hope like hell Snyder stays the **** away to let Bruce and Mike do their thing.
Make no mistake about it, I've been wanting players like MeAngelo, Portis and Moss (and many others) gone for a long time. I think they were also part of the problem and culture that infected this team for quite sometime.
I think you focus too much on guys like Portis, Moss or Hall. In the end, how the team performs has a lot to do with the coaching staff and front office. I am fine with the direction that this team is going, but I want to see more good decisions made by the front office and less of the stupid ones from last season (McNabb trade, keeping the Haynesworth issue alive, the McNabb benching).

Now you are entirely too smart to make statements like that. So I get it, much like alot of Skins fans you focus on since Snyder got here. We were getting our asses kicked when Cooke 1 owned the team, while Cooke 2 looked over the team, and now while Snyder has owned the team. We didn't just start signing guys to big money for them to get here and not look as good as the contract number say they should. If you're going to talk about how bad the team is then make sure you accept the fact that Casserly ****ed up just like anyone else did. Still waiting on you to make it up this way so we can have that brew and discuss this team.
I don't focus solely on the negative things you say that's what I see on the threads I look at. I took flack here because while Iwas not the only one who disliked jason Campbell I acted like it. So I know where you are coming from where your opinion is your opnion but it's a lot like what I hear here on a certain sportstalk station that prides themselves on shitting on Danny and anything that goes on with him. Portis while a diva at times didn't deserve alot of the shit that he took but that's for another conversation.
I swear Danny needs to hire me !

It doesn't look to me like Santana "quit" there.
Granted, I wasn't a huge Redskins' fan back then, so maybe I'm missing the emotional attachment to that moment, but it looks like a bad throw by Todd Collins that Santana thought was going to go out of bounds. Maybe he could've come back to the ball, but I don't think he "quit" everything. He came out and ran his route hard.
Then when the ball was picked off he was trying to stop the guy. A guy who "quits" usually isn't a guy who's going to try and run anyone down.
I could be totally wrong though.

I don't think Tana's production is as easily replaceable as people think.

Same here. I don't think you can drop just anyone in the slot and have them catch 93 balls. Especially not a rookie. And I like all the rookie wideouts and second year guys we have.
But I still think you need that vet there to take the pressure off the young guys.
Having a veteran presence at WR is going to be huge with all the young guys we now have. Couple that with his production and I'd imagine he's going to be a high priority once the league opens for business.

Bottom line, is anyone else currently on the roster ready to step up and fill his shoes? Doubt it.I can think of at least four guys who deserve the opportunity. And if they fail, they fail. But I think it's a better process than holding on dearly to whatever Moss can continue to give us in the next two years.
I agree with you that he'll be a hot commodity on the FA market. I can see both Portis and Moss in New England next year. They are very much the Belichick kind of player.

PORTIS is a Belichick type of player!?
In what world?

PORTIS is a Belichick type of player!?
In what world?The world where putting a blitzing ILB on his ass is a skill desired to allow Brady to get the ball down the field to less-than-ideal deep threats.

I don't see Banks making the cut. The WRs that were drafted this off-season all have return experience. If that isn't writing on the wall then I don't know what is. I"m quite positive Banks is one of those "club" guys that Willie Parker was referring to as well. Banks doesn't really bring anything to the table at the WR spot. (at least Cribbs and Hester do)
Why would we get rid of possibly the 2nd or 3rd best return man in the game? Because of some worthless thug at a nightclub that thinks it's alright to stab people?
How long has it been since we've had an elite return man? Have you guys already gotten cocky and forgotten how much of a pain it was to have ARE go left and right or having only solid but not great returns from Rock Cartwright and Ladell?
With penalties this past year he took the ball yard 5 or 6 times. I seriously doubt the team would get rid of him.
