The benefits can be rather large, i.e Adrian Peterson, Area 51, and Kerrakpo.

Yes it is

1) The Fans - I keep hearing how Redskins fans are some of the most intelligent out of the NFL, but I simply don't see it. (probably same throughout the league) I see a good many who are just as knee jerk reactionary about this team as our lousy owner is. What kills me the most is these same people are probably the same ones bashing Snyder for doing exactly what they are doing. /facepalm

2) QB- The most important position on the field. QB play can make lesser talent look better and make better talent look worse. It hasn't been all of our QBs fault, but it certainly needs to be upgraded big time.

3)OL - We are seeing what happens when injuries occur on the OL front. The line had been playing well for most of the year, but we seriously need some more depth and upgrades in the OL. I do think people are overlooking the injuries.

4) WR- Hard to tell if our receivers are part of the problem or it's QB play. We are in dire need of a big time play maker though. If it's a QB problem, then you can move this down the list.

5) CBs- Time to trade D. Hall in for somebody with less mouth and more action.

This team really has so many needs. I think people's expectations went too high with the early wins and great off-season. This team still lacks a ton of talent from top to bottom. We are however getting there.

The fans? We don't get on the field. The pats only have fans because they started winning. We aren't going to turn the team around. Is that you Larry Michael?

rogers or grimes would be great gets at CB. hall is a #2, wilson isn't that good... so much for that being an "upgrade" like i kept hearing in the offseason :P.

WRs are available... bowe would be best, but stever johnson would probably be the best value. OL I'd have to check, but there's usually someone there when what we've got is so average/bad.

I think Josh Johnson is someone else worth at least considering

Why? He seems like a Josh Freeman "light". Is he really anything more than a back-up?

SmootSmack · 11-02-2011, 12:39 PM

Solid young QB with upside. More, in my opinion, than anyone currently on our roster. Bridge from Beck to Moore

I like Josh Johnson. He or Flynn would be about the only young vets that I would consider. Is Johnson's contract expiring?

He's a backup for a reason. All he does is runs. They put him in on 3rd or 4th and short so he can run the option. NO.

Matt Flynn is a better backup option. But really You need to build through the draft. Get a Luck if you can trade up enough picks for him, or a Foles , or Kellen Moore.

What you are really saying: I like Flynn over Johnson because Flynn is white and I am a QB racist.

Big C · 11-02-2011, 05:56 PM

flynn and josh johnson are no better than beck or grossman. it would be a waste to invest in them. we should only get clear upgrades for the qb position (veteran star or highly touted rookie in the draft).

i dont think that he is a realistic option but hes played for shanny so who knows. if drew brees isnt resigned he'd be someone i think we'd have to look at. same with peyton manning if the colts were looking to trade him (mike greenberg and herm edwards debated that possibility this morning at length). basically, i dont want us to sign some unproven nobody qb/career backup and expect him to compete for the starting qb position. id rather sign/trade for an established veteran, or draft a qb in the first 2 rounds to be our guy

I also dont believe we will win another game this year..I hope I am wrong..but who really should we beat? miami? really..Not a hater just a realist!
