I mean I wish we had added a QB, namely Locker has he been available. But I get the impression a lot of people think that not adding a QB means the team just sat on its ass and made no improvements anywhere else on the roster. We're not there yet but we definitely added some key pieces.I would say there's a large difference between saying the Redskins have not improved at all at any position on the football field, which isn't true at all, vs. looking around the league at all teams and wondering exactly how many of them haven't improved at least as much in the last two years as the Redskins have.
In a vacuum, the Redskins under Shanahan have been great. Against other teams in the NFL, meh, not so much. And the quarterback situation is seemingly a large part of that.

sorry NC I'm a HUGE Shanny guy but he ****ed up with our QB sit and did last year too.

Especially when you have John Beck and Rex Grossman already on your roster. That would just be a waste of a pick, with the fact that they're never going to see the field and all.
If you are trying to make a point that Rex and Beck aren't the answer, then you are wasting your time. I already know this. I've said this all along. However, Rex outplayed McNabb when he was here.
I don't think we are ever going to agree with the "there were better options" part. Sure, but many of those options weren't that big of a upgrade and the cost for that minor upgrade wasn't worth it.

I'm sure many like myself can separately judge decisions.
Making a mistake in one areas doesn't equate to making a mistake in all areas.
I think assumptions like that needlessly lumps people into pigeon holes.

Dude, every QB in the league was a potential option if the trade or $$ parameters were correct.
Shanny could have been more aggressive finding a QB but wasn't.
Hopefully that will make him VERY aggressive in finding a QB this spring.

I'll be the first in line to say Shanny ****ed up the McNabb trade. Never liked that deal from day one.
This year? I think with the lockout and limited options in the FA market, he probably had no other choice. As soon as the lockout ended, training camp basically started the next day.
Also, I never believe paying a 36 year old Hasselbeck $21 million dollars was worth the slight upgrade he may have been at QB. Hell, he every well may have been worse than Rex here.

Did you just forget about that whole lockout or what?

Well like I said its my impression. Plus if I'm being totally honest I'm thinking of one person in particular who gives me this impression. But it's not you, and I won't call this person out

Did you forget that every team in the league managed to add many new pieces through trades and FA despite the lockout?

I'm worried that Shanny is going to draft Landry. He's got the tools, but the guy is locked in to one receiver at all times and when it wasn't Broyles, he sucked.
