In Gus I Trust

I was thinking Keenan as well. Also, I don't know if he would have been "great" per se, but I always wish we had kept Kenard Lang.

SmootSmack · 07-03-2007, 04:27 PM

Also, Kelvin Bryant. I think we got him just past his prime

70Chip · 07-03-2007, 04:32 PM

I think K.B.'s knees were mush when we got him. He was absolutely key to the 87 SB run, even though he did not turn up big in the actual game. If he had been healthy... (that's a whole other thread).

Kenard was one of my favorites. A real bright spot in a gloomy period (2000-2001).

Heith Schuler enough said. He could have been a beast!

Desmond Howard. Went on to be Super Bowl MVP. Skins just needed to keep him on special teams.

GusFrerotte · 07-03-2007, 04:53 PM

Have to go with my nickname. Gus had a cannon arm and did pull the team to around .500 with a relatively weak WR corp and an old man in Terry Allen at RB. IF you gave Gus the OL and the WR corp we have now, the 90's would have been nice to us. Next would be Patrick. Sorry, he got screwed and should have been given more time to prove himself. We really could have probably made the playoffs with him at QB in '04. He would have thrown more pics than Brunell, but I guarantee he would have thrown for way more TD's at the same time. Our terrific D would have nullified a lot of his picks. This season with JC at the helm will really tell us if parting with Ramsey was such a great idea. As of right now, not too many folks outside of the Redskin Nation think too highly of him(JC).

Danny Wuerffel!!!

Stan Humphries, Trent Green, McCardell, Stephen Davis, Kernard Lang, Frank Wychek. We should of kept Brian Mitchell for a good 3 more years. And, for some reason we seem to draft ok LB's and can't keep them... Sean Barber, Derek Smith, Pierce.

Jamaican'Skin · 07-03-2007, 05:04 PM

Frank Wychek (sp)-- former Tennessee Titan TE

Redskin Rich · 07-03-2007, 05:08 PM

Hey, what about Sam Wyche? He was are third string QB.... but went on to coach in the Super Bowl.

I liked Gus too... but after he injuried his neck on that TD celebration he lost all credibilty. As far as Ramsey- c'mon! The guy is having trouble keeping his space as a bench warmer. The jets wouldn't of let him go to Denver if he was showing any promise. And, at least JC is mobile and seems to show promise reading the D. 10TD's only 6 INTs

70Chip · 07-03-2007, 05:19 PM

Wychek is a good call. Norv tried to convert him to fullback and then he failed a steroid test. What a shame. He was Cooley-esque in Tennessee.
