Griffin's Impact on our Offense

Gaffney has been trade bait for over a month now... His numbers weren't overwhelming, didn't make/gain yards after the catch, 2.65 mil salary, the signing of both Garcon and Morgan added with a healthy Hankerson, as opposed to other reasons... The twitter tirade didn't help, but the decision on Gaffney was made a few months prior... He's not the young, explosive, playmaking WR .

Read Shanahan's quote from last December... It briefly, but strongly entails what he wants in his WR's.

All I can say is our FO better be right about Hank (healthy?), Morgan (healthy?) and Garcon (consistent?). Moss seems like a sure thing for 2012, and possibly even the most productive WR on our roster at season's end?

If Hank and/or Morgan are limited and Garcon (think about the contract here) is a younger, less experienced (system-wise) Gaffney I'm gonna ask for resignations :)

I hope the Redskins front office aren't considering trading Gaffney because of some unprofessional twitter argument that he had with Lito Sheppard. From an organizational standpoint, is that regarded as unprofessional? I don't think so. It's not like he punched Mike Shanahan in the face during practice. Antonio Bryant hit Parcells and managed to remain with the Cowboys.

If they just feel Gaffney is trade bait regardless of the situation, then that's fine. But to trade him away for some non football related issue is ridiculous.

We have too many wr's. Someone is going to have to go.

Part of it is they don't feel he has much upside and is kind of dime a dozen, he's not going to do much more than catch the ball. Which is fine and all, but is it enough?

Another part of it, supposedly, is that they also think he sulked and half-assed his routes a few times last year. I can't confirm nor particularly recollect any occasional moments when this happened.

I have been hearing that they really do want to give Austin another chance and give Paul/Robinson more of a shot and they blame Keenan more for their lack of development than the players themselves

The first part of it though is mainly the biggest reason

Is Moss in trouble? If one of the younger guys pushes him, I think he could be.

One of the rare occasions I agree with Skinsfan69 here.

Not that anyone expected any differently...

"No great surprise, it's what most expected, but Colts have told Andrew Luck they will take him with the No. 1 overall pick, per NFL source."

I am sure someone will created a thread just for this and it will be posted as breaking news for like 6 times (With me possibly doing it already).

I saw an article that said the Colts told A. Luck he was going to be their pick!

:cheeky-sm

I think he probably stays another year, but as the #3 or 4 if things go as the Skins like

Shocker.

I'm going to be sad when the draft is over and we don't have any more nervous-nellie fans on Twitter wondering "oh what will we ever do if the Colts take RG3?"

LOL

Did you guys hear? Colts said they take Luck! First!
