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.

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.
