Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

[sportscurmudgeon]

Sorry to be late to this discussion:

Signing of Garcon: An A+ for the front office. Those who say that Garcon looked better than he really is because he had Peyton Manning throwing to him all these years overlook the fact that Peyton Manning threw him the ball because he got open. : :


Signing of Josh Morgan: Put me in the "skeptical category". [Skeptics are ones who have doubts but can be convinced they are wrong on the basis of future data/observations.] I think that is a lot of money for a guy whose career accomplishments to date are pretty average. :confused-


Almost signing of Eddie Royal: Would have been a GREAT addition to the WR corps.


Here is an interesting thing to think about. Right after the season ended, the Skins fired Keenan McCardell as the WRs coach. Conventional wisdom at the time was that the Skins' braintrust did not think he got as much out of the WRs on the roster as he could have. Now, as soon as free agency opens, the Skins have the pedal to the metal to sign an entirely new WR corps.

Hmmm.... Must have been some inadequate coaching PLUS a fundamental lack of talent at the position.
