didn't lavar renegotiate his original contract ? the front office people wanted lavar to be a redskin for the rest of his career or at least close to it, kinda like ray lewis and baltimore did.

i have never blaimed brunnel for anything, He took the contract that he was given, it was amazing but we offered it, I blaim the descision makers not brunnel. I also don't blaim brunnel for sucking I blaim Gibbs for not taking him out. I do understand why he didn't take him out but i don't place the blaim on Brunnel

That is the point WHY DIDN'T WE TAKE HIM OUT. Because of his contract, if Brunell was paid like an average QB he would have been pulled a lot sooner than he was, and there is a decent chance that he wouldn't have been named the starter to begin with, do you see how a contract can negativly affect the progress of a team? Do I blame management for those 2 contract's? You got that right! But that doesn't change the fact that he's not remotly worth it. My plan from the start was to not sign Brunell, and I would have never given Lavar anything close to the contract he recieved, how would our team look right now without Lavar's or Brunell's contract's? does anyone really think we wouldn't be head and shoulder's better this year with an additional 100 million to spend on free agent's and draft pick's?

Just because a player get's a big contract doesn't mean he's worth it.

brunnell's contract wasn't the reason he started and was left as the starter for 9 games. the real reason for that is because he beat ramsey out in pre-season and he was joe's hand picked boy. nobody wanted brunnell the way gibbs did.

Brunell was 1 pass better than Ramsey in the pre-season a bomb to McCant's for a TD that was the difference, neither one of them did anything so guess what contract took presedent, we all know Gibb's loved Brunell but if you think he wasen't pushing for all he was worth to try and justify Brunell's contract your only fooling yourself, no QB who played as horrible as Brunell would have lasted 9 games unless there was a contract of the magnitude of Brunell's, Brunell's performance in those 9 games were about as bad as I have ever seen.

So all of the smart people agree. We keep LaVar!

angrryssg - We can't trade Lavar - that's not the issue. Read through the thread before putting in something that has been discussed over and over again. I'm sure you're the next coming of Thomas Edison, but what classifies people as "smart" for thinking Lavar deserves his contract? He's a whiner, he refuses to step up and take a leadership role, and he's the highest paid linebacker in football.

And BigSKINBauer. You did say that LaVar would have won 3 games had he been playing for us. Don't deny it, just stop making claims you can't defend in a last ditch effort to defend your failing point.

I appologize for not being able to navigate through the forums like the rest of you pros. I think that I am up to speed now. Unfortunately you don't get paid alot of money in the NFL for being a leader. Players get paid based on their playmaking ability. Sad but true. Many true leaders on a football team stand on the sidelines, they are the vets, the well seasoned guys who for one reason or another are not the starter anymore, but that is their place on the team. This usualy happens when a younger potential starter gets a spot on the team. They push the leaders out to pasture. My case is that Lavar may not be a leader yet, but give it time and he will be.

hey offiss, i think you and i could turn turn this into "the return of brunnell" thread. i agree with you when you say brunnell played the worst 9 games of any qb in history but the contract he signed was not the # 1 factor in gibbs decission to keep him in that long. it was because gibbs , for whatever reason, loved brunnell and was defending him week after week after week. gibbs was positive that brunnell was the perfect qb to run his offense and he was just waiting and hoping that his dreams would come true.if brunnell would have came to washington and signed a one year contract for the league minimum, he still would have been the starter. gibbs couldn't and still can't admit he made a mistake in getting brunnell.

Well obviously he is not answering you, but I will. I agree with you 100% burnell was supposed to be his match made in heaven, but remember when Coach Gibbs said that he would have never come back if he didn't believe that Ramsey couldn't become the starter. Ramsey is the future now.
