Its kinda like Kaepernick and Alex Smith last year. The coach is just waiting for that starter to screw up big time or get injured to give his better backup a chance; that chance never came for Compton because Polumbus was only injured 1 game and his screw ups were erratic. A rookie playing at that spot with an injured RG3 isn't going to make RG3 or shanahan comfortable when you already know what your getting from polumbus.
SmootSmack 05-19-2013, 12:46 PM They like Compton. Mentioned last fall they upped his salary to keep others teams who wanted to put him on their active roster from taking him. He's very much in their plans
Skinzman 05-19-2013, 12:51 PM Smootsmack,
do you have any information regarding the current consensus is regarding Compton within the Redskins organization?
Many here have been hopeful since he was drafted last year that he could develop into our starting RT....but we have heard very little and seen few signs that indicate the team has any confidence in this possibility.
The only reason Compton was brought up from the practice squad to be on the roster late last year was because other teams were looking to sign him and we didnt want to lose him. Given that other NFL teams wanted him and we made moves to prevent him from leaving. Seems that is some kind of a sign that we, as well as other teams, have at least a little confidence in him.
REDSKINS4ever 05-19-2013, 02:12 PM i wouldn't bet on compton as the way out of polumbus-ville. if he's better than polumbus, he would have already been on the field.
Compton is a late round draft pick and a developmental player. He didn't see any game time in his rookie campaign because the coach Forester felt he wasn't ready. But he must have been developing greatly if the Redskins didn't draft a RT in April. Compton might be closer to starting sooner than you think.

or we had other needs, didn't have money, and we brought in 3 other RTs already. so i'm not sure that's the biggest vote of confidence.
look, i'd love for him to be great, but every year people get caught up on weird depth players as this year's pro bowler, and most of the time it doesn't happen.
we've been doing this same thing with the RT position since jansen started sucking. the names change but the position hasn't been very good. hopefully he is the next best thing, but the way people talk they just seem to assume any 7th rounder we sign is destine to be amazing. I just prefer to wait and see.

interesting, wouldnt be a bad idea
GridIron26 05-20-2013, 06:35 PM This is pretty amazing. A record setting with three broken fingers - he definitely deserve the props and contact he just signed.

I saw that today , I would rather have the draft in March . Maybe have some OTA's in April and would give fans more football news earlier .

I agree, I also think they should do a Hard Knocks version of draft war rooms: Follow a team scouting a prospect playing in school, to the senior bowl, to combine, to interviews, to private workouts, to draft day in the war room and everything that goes on in there. I think that would be GREAT TV. They could show that in June/July, Top 100 in April, Draft in May, that gives an NFL fan lots of time to get their NFL dosage in the offseason.

no one would agree to that, it gives up too much information on a team's process etc.
