WR Marshall Benched by McDaniels

SBXVII · 01-02-2010, 01:50 PM

I'm not for nor against it. He would definitly make us better at the WR spot yet might hurt us if Shanahan can't keep his ego in check.

I don't like the fact that somewhere I read Denver might command a 1st round pick for him which I would not want to give up. Unless it's next years cause I would assume we will be a better team next year and be farther down in the draft. I figure Shanahan will want his franchise QB this year while were so high in the draft.

If Denver didn't command a lot for him I'd say take him.

People say all the time that they don't want any head cases on their team but it's the head cases that have all the talent, or so it seems. R.Moss, T.O., Ochocinco, and Portis a few years back. I mean I loved Gibbs and his idea of picking players with good character, but honestly I could settle for one or two on the team if it makes us a contender for the future. As an example look at T.O. he will be a FA at seasons end. Shanahan tried to pick him up in Denver when he still had a job with them. T.O. was not so bad in San Fran, was not bad with the Eagles until the year he left, was almost an angle in dallas and honestly even I saw times when Romo should have been able to get the ball to him but didn't. He goes to Buffalo and has been the team player everyone wants. Kept his mouth shut through the whole first half of the season when their crappy QB couldn't get the ball to him.

Again I'm not for nor against them, but if they can some what be kept in check and still help this team then I'm for it. I know T.O. is a FA are there any others available so we don't have to give up the farm to get them?

Yes. I rarely root for Tampa or KC but I will tomorrow.

We need lineman, We need lineman, We need lineman, We need lineman, We need lineman, We need lineman, We need lineman, We need lineman, We need lineman, We need lineman...then lets go after Brandon Marshall if we can afford to.

From reading the NFL boards on ESPN this morning, the collective opinion is that Marshall will land in Washington. I'm sure Shanahan would love to have a receiver who knows how to operate in his system. Also, with the money that Danny boy will throw at him I'm sure it will mitigate any potential diva flare ups.

We need a playmaker at wide out pick up TO for a year... Dont trade picks. But then again bringing in TO is not a long term solution and I really don't believe we are 1 player away...

SmootSmack · 01-03-2010, 08:44 PM

We can't afford to go after Marshall. Not if we want to actually be a better team, a playoff team.

Maybe if our front office and fans stopped trying to go for the next year quick fix we'd be a better team in the long run...but no let's go ahead and trade players and picks for Brandon Marshall that'll put us over the top. I mean I think of all the times Marshall carried the Broncos on his back and into the playoffs...

well wr's generally don't carry teams. quarterbacks do. all i'm saying if he's out there we should take a look. he would improve the offense along with two new o-linemen.

Well, giving up multiple draft picks that we desperately need for a malcontent WR is not the way to build a winning team. We're seeing flashes of what we have in Kelly, Thomas, and Davis. Mortgaging the future (again) for a big name splash is exactly what's effed us in the past. I thinks it's a huge fail that fans rip the team for all that's wrong with Redskins and then encourage more of the same as soon as a big name gets mentioned.

What was Shanahan and Marshall's relationship like?

SBXVII · 01-03-2010, 09:16 PM

Who knows but if you all want talented head cases T.O. is available as a FA with out throwing away a draft pick. Shanahan tried to pick him up prior to getting fired. Buffalo got him instead.

SBXVII · 01-03-2010, 09:18 PM

How about a sicker thought.....

Shanahan makes a trade for next years draft pick for Marshall
and still picks up T.O. as a FA.
