My biggest question is why isnt Cousins and Crowder connecting?
19 catches, 149 yards, 0 tds and 2 punt fumbles.
I can only assume that wout D Jax and garcon, Ds are focusing on Crowder ... but idk.
I havent seen Brian Quick yet, might as well give him some looks.

When Pryor was signed all I kept hearing was what a great addition he would be..Guys had him in the pro bowl before he took a snap here. was responsible for signing him?

I would bring back Rashad Ross. We need some speed on special teams and he can be a vertical threat at WR.
Robert Davis is another option that someone previously mentioned.
Might as well see what we got with him.
My preference is Ross since he can help on ST.
Where is Ross right now? Is he playing on another team or is he out of football?

I thought it was a good signing for a few reasons
1. He was coming off a very productive year w/ below average QB's
2. He played a pretty good game against Norman last year
3. He has great size and speed which would help in the red zone
4. His deal was conservative so if it didn't work out he'd be gone after a year.
Before the season started could you tell us why you thought it would be a bad signing?

I also thought it was a good signing, pretty much for the reasons you stated. He has underachieved so far but I wonder why the Skins haven't looked at how he had his success last season and put in some new plays for him to run. After all, he had a 1,000 yard season in 2016.
Also, his guy is an exceptional big athlete capable of making some big plays if they would put him in position to do so. I think the Skins have failed, so far, to find creative ways to use his talents. For example, they could use him at QB on third and short or have him throw a pass off of a WR reverse. You know, tricks and surprises.
The Skins should stop trying to force fit him into the offense - he is not Pierre Garcon. They need to use him to do things that he CAN do. Jay Gruden is not here to run his offense no matter what. He is here to win games.

The signing was certainly worth the risk...the bothersome thing to me is that good teams get guys like Garcon to sign an extension right before the beginning of the year or during the season....His price would have been a lot less than what we ended up getting which was several teams bidding. A slight bump in yearly salary with some decent guaranteed would have gotten Garcon signed. Poor management.

He has repeatedly said he wants to remain with the Redskins, telling SiriusXM NFL Radio in December that “everything that I could ever want is in D.C., so I want to be in D.C. forever.”
“I haven’t heard anything from the Redskins, man,” Garcon said on a podcast hosted by Pat McAfee, a former teammate with the Colts. “I have not heard anything at all. But everybody does strategic moves right before free agency, or right during free agency, so I couldn’t tell you what they’re up to.”

That was the odd thing .. Allen and co didnt even reach out to his agent at all. Zero communication. Much like with Kirk. Zero effort or communication.
I dont know much about martavias bryant and am aware of his 1 year suspension but id trade Pryor for him straight up.
Garçon asked for trades a couple of times if I recall.
