R.W. McQuarters

TigersPawSkins · 05-26-2005, 02:18 PM

I think that added depth is a very good thing at safety/cb positions. especially considering what happened last year with injuries. having someone that has started both positions (I think he has ???) is a real value. again I'll say I'm excited about this coming season!!

I like that we have 4 potential starters at CB. It's like having OEM parts for a car. Just plug 'n' play and you're good to go.

What exactly is it that McQuarters has done throughout his career that leads Redskins fans to believe that he is some high calibur, big time, immediate starter, free agent dynamo?

Because from where I`m standing, he appears to be more of a ~tail end of a not so illustrious career, best days are behind him, oh wow he can return kicks kinda guy...

What have I been missing? Did the Bears release the best kept secret in the NFL? Has he secretly been elected to several pro bowls that I`m unaware of? Is he the illegitimate son Greg Williams?

Someone please explain what it is that makes R.W. McQuarters such a signifigant addition to the Washington Redskins? Because I personally still don`t see it?

Nice overreaction. Didn't the press conference address other issues too?

Who said anything about the press conference?

For the simple fact that GWilliams and Co have interest in him. If they think that he will be a good addition to the team, why should we question him? Maybe they actually know what they're doing; after all they did turn our D into one of the more feared units in the league last year.

OK... So not at all like the Alex Molden, Ralph Brown situation last year, or the short but sweet Redskins career of Cory " possible replacement for Sean Taylor " Hall, right?

Thank you for clearing that up.

So you don't like the way the defense is being managed?

Apparently every move the team makes has to be a homerun, otherwise it's a total failure and a lack of competence by the front office.

Where did you read that?

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-26-2005, 04:01 PM

I don't think that anyone has alluded to him being the Super Bowl secret to the Redskins defense. I think we are mainly seeing him as a person who can step in, in case someone goes down.

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-26-2005, 04:13 PM

Not only that, there are a number of coaches AND players who have lots of previous experience with him.

JWsleep · 05-26-2005, 04:22 PM

They're loooking for DB depth. He was in Chicago with Blache and the others. He's not a BAD player. The press conference was a regular briefing by Gibbs. He only mentioned McQuarters when asked by a reporter, and said that he'd be a nice addition, that he'd worked with 5 of the coaches before, etc. BUt don't expect them to break the bank. They don't have any real cap space anyway. We'll see.

This isn't the next Deon fiasco. Don't worry!

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-26-2005, 04:27 PM

Exactly. I think that the overspending days are gone. Possibly questionable draft pick, but that's about it as far as us having a bad offseason. When you really think about it, judging by who was available and for what price, we had a GREAT offseason.

We did what we could with Coles.
We addressed areas of need.
We defined our receiving corps without having to draft anyone.

Personally, with other factors in the league, I'm not sure it could have gone any better.

Normally I agree with your posts, But this one I thought was a little off...

We didn't pick up a nice receiver (yet) and I think Coles REAMED us... We didn't address all areas of need, we have depth at LB but no clear cut starter in the middle yet. We have no pass rushing DE that we all said we coveted in the draft or through FA. Hopefully that is also a not yet comment...

We haven't really cleared up much of anything except that we aren't going to over pay... I don't think it has been a great offseason, but time will tell if we made the right decisions...
