[quote=Mattyk;810553]Agreed. With no offseason it's likely that our QB answer, for this year at least, is going to have to be an option that is already on the roster.

Unless there's someone out there that is very well versed in the type of WCO we run here.[/quote]

Agreed....and just about everyone familiar with the team's QB situation has gradually come to that realization. If you've got about 11 minutes to waste....here is an echo.

Well there's Matt Hasselbeck

Doesn't exactly get the heart pumping. I'd rather stick with what we've got.

Bingo. Bringing in aging vet QBs not familiar with our system two years running doesn't really do it for me.

[quote=Mattyk;810628]You must have a very interesting definition of logical.[/quote]

Lol, I'd say throwing away one season for 10 years of greatness is a pretty logical move.

Its like so many other things in life, alot of the time to get to where you want to be, you have to go through some hard times and do things you don't want to do, but you do that because you know it is in your best interest overall.

I wish we could look into the future 13 years down the road so you can see how beneficial to all redskins fans getting luck (without trading up) would be. Then you wouldn't give two shits that we had that one bad season because the last 10 were amazing.

You think the colts fans would have preferred to do better in 97 and not get manning? Don't think so. And if in 7 years if I ask whoever gets luck in the 2012 draft if they could go back in time and do better in 2011, would they?, they would slap me silly for asking such a stupid question.

nah, ive said my piece. I'm not going to say any more. If you don't see what I see, then I'm sorry. Think what you want, the truth is the truth. Unfortunately we will only take one path through history, and the future will determine what is truly in the best interest of our franchise in this seemingly everlasting forum battle of what is currently our opinions.

Re: Redskins ready to $pend?
 

I was waiting for a name to emerge of a guy I had either never heard of or knew little about but would still end up being a great addition. Yanda is now that player.


[QUOTE]Grade: 66 | Key

Comment: Yanda had nine starts in 2009 and had his most productive season of his three-year career. Yanda is a versatile lineman who can play right tackle or guard. He doesn't have the ideal height or athletic ability for tackle and plays with too narrow of a base to be a pile-moving guard. But Yanda is fundamentally sound for such a young player and has an aggressive edge to his game. He looks to finish, but his strength is just marginal, so keeping up with his blocks for an extended period of time is often a problem. He continues to improve his technique and overall consistency, and is an integral part of the Ravens' offensive line.

Not as good as Davin Joesph though.

Im sorry. I can never root to lose. Ok so what If we tank the season and Luck is a bust or gets injured. Hey, Ya never know.....Then what? Hoping to lose to get the number one draft pick before the season even starts is ridiculous. If we were 0-8 I'd say fine..... let's hopefully lose enough games to try to have a shot at getting Luck. Otherwise. Bring on Beck. "WE PLAY TO WIN THE GAME"

I can but only after we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. And even then it's very tough on Sundays.

I will admit though that it was pretty easy to root against them near the end of 2009. I think we all knew that unless the team hit rock bottom we were going to be stuck with Vinny.

A) Fans root for their teams
B) Your position roots against the Redskins
Ergo, by syllogistic logic, you are not a Redskins fan

There's logic. Or we might try:

A) Cowboys fans root against the Redskins
B) You root against the Redskins
Ergo, you are a Cowboys fan

Again, just good syllogistic logic.

Re: Redskins ready to $pend?
 

Wanting to tank a season is wanting Dallas to sweep us.
Thats just looney tunes.......

Re: Redskins ready to $pend?
 

Dallas Sucks.

Re: Redskins ready to $pend?
 

The first guy I heard mention Yanda was JI Halsell back in like January, so props to him if it goes down.
