Redskins trade for Alex Smith

I know it is 71 guaranteed but not sure what that means at this juncture. I guess we will find out on March 14th.

Here's why. Because you just lost your best corner on an already bad defense. That doesn't make your bad defense any better. If it was Cravens I could stomach this, but Fuller was a building block and a guy you can't trade.

Keeping the 3rd rounder, signing a vet to compete w/ Colt and drafting someone was the smarter thing to do. But hey, Bruce knows how manage QB's of an NFL franchise. Just look at his past.

Just remember the whole world said we got robbed of the RG3 trade too and the Rams ended up getting basically nothing for years until Mcvay came. We'll see what happens, if Smith leads us to the playoffs next yr all will be forgotten

I voted no, my reason why-

Like the Alex Smith as the QB.
Hate the Fuller plus the 3rd rounder, my thoughts that the 3rd was enough.
They were going to cut/trade him regardless....

We do not have the running game the AS needs to be successful.
Fat Rob is not the answer.

Alex Smith is clearly the best QB the Redskins could've picked up in this offseason. No way Kirk was signing a LTD with us. Just get over that fact. Nobody likes the idea of giving up Kendall Fuller - I sure don't, but do you really think KC was willing to give up Alex Smith for a ham sandwich? (Well, maybe Andy Reid would've taken the ham sandwich as well!)

This is a QB driven league, I'll take having good Proven QB over a Good slot CB any day. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180131/4411b81599363a872ddf3e435fafaf08.jpg

Yep, I love the move I don't see why anyone would be against this.. 3rd round pick but we will get a pick back when kirk walks.

Bro this is a WIN NOW league, we all know this.. Yeah it sucks losing Fuller (who apparently didn't even know) but its the NFL in today's world.. You can replace a CB much easier than a QB..


First off, you are not replacing your QB. That's up for debate, and I'll be pretty clear where I stand on that debate. An aging Alex Smith is no KC. I do not think he will put up numbers or play with the efficiency as KC in this offense. Jay Gruden has some work to do.


Would you rather have KF and Colt Mccoy starting or some rookie that is a huge ? Not me, I am tired of the "we will just ride it out" No I want to start winning now, and so does Jay.

Short answer Yes. We will find out how this works. I would have used the extra dough from KC departure to sign a VET and draft a QB. Sucks, but you can always land a Dak Prescott, Russel Wilson, KC, later in the draft.

Ready to start winning now? This move won't do it. Bottom line our team got worse.

Ask yourself this question. Do you see a team like the Patriots or Eagles trading a high draft pick and/or a young defensive rising star under team control for a JAG at QB? I won't wait for your answer, it's absolutely not. But the Redskins will be doing it twice in eight years.

OK, so is this thing with Fuller confirmed? If so, I fucking hate this.

Thinking about it, this is actually the best option the front office had. For one, they knew they were not going to keep KC at the price they wanted. So if KC walked in FA, Washington does not get any compensation.

When KC left in FA, what were the options? Overpay for Keenum/Bradford/Bridgewater?

This path was the best option. They get a proven veteran at the price they can manage. They also get a compensatory pick. Something they would not have gotten had KC left as a free agent.

It was not a 'blockbuster' but it was the best option available. Best news is they ended the Cousins drama before it could get another head of steam.

Good post and I wanted to draft a QB like Mayfield who I think is the next RW, but I think the team knew they wouldn't get Baker or Allen, now you have a guy that can win you games and he doesn't turn the ball over at all.

Eagles let all of their talent go when they let shady and co. walk away but they struck gold with Wentz, that is luck. It sucks losing Fuller but I'd rather have a QB man.
