Re: 2009 NFL Draft Chat/Discussion
 

I just woke up. WTF!?!?! why did we let the jets take Sanchez. Dont get me wrong i really like Orakpo, but i LOVED Sanchez. Our front office has absolutely no clue how to run a franchise. Had a chance to get get a franchise QB for the next 15 years and you let someone get him. On top of that they have completely alienated Jason Campbell over the last month or two. Ill tell you what this is gong to lead to at year end, especiallyif Campbell lights it up this year. He's either gonna tell them to: a. kiss his ass and leave or, b. hold them hostage when it comes time to renegotitate. And people wonder why the skins have only made the playoffs 3 times since 1992. Thanks alot Snyder and Cerrato or shoud I say Dumb and Dumber.

I like Sanchez, but I'm glad we didn't mortgage the future, and some of our up and coming players to get him, We did the right thing, let's build through the draft.

Well it seems like a higher power is keeping our front office from makin stupid mistakes and players that we actually need keep falling to us. It could happen

Nice. I'm thinking D$ overslept too and salvaged our draft.

For those watching NFLN, every steeler fan did the same "I don't know who he is" face. LOL.

couldn't have said it better myself. But I am please on how the way has turned out. Im keeping my fingers crossed for one the OT's to fall to the third or caldwell. Any of them would make me ecstatic.

Re: 2009 NFL Draft Chat/Discussion
 

Now what if the FO basically had Orakpo targeted the entire time and wanted to ensure somebody traded up for Sanchez (knowing Seattle wasn't taking him)? What if they told Jason Campbell to play along to the media? What if... nah, I'll just be grateful the chips fell where they did...

We keep crediting other powers, like the Bears, Jets, and now God, for saving the FO from stupidity. If this continues, at some point we are going to have to admit that the FO is not as stupid as we think.

Or maybe they just knew what they were doing all along.

Crazy, I know.

I am quite sure that that is what happened. Did you see how fast we got the Orakpo card in? We obviously were smitten with HIM. We would not have been willing to sell the farm for Sanchez if we were so happy with the idea of getting Orakpo.

Re: 2009 NFL Draft Chat/Discussion
 

I've been a skins fan for a long time and now that they are making good decisions it is kinda shocking!

If that's the case, then they may have pulled off the biggest hoodwink to a fanbase in years... they used their free-wheeling/spending reputation they've built and pulled a 180! Talk about playing with the media... still not sure I believe this, but if I were the FO- this is what I'd say to us.
