Updated Roster Moves: Skins Sign QB Bartel and FB Evans; Waive QB Woodson

[53Fan]

Mosely seems to think he'd do alright. Personally I've never heard of him.

Yet this guy who wasn't good enough it seems to be the #3 QB behind Quinn and Anderson in Cleveland, and who doesn't have the pedigree of Andre Woodson (or Chase Daniel-seriously, not bitter at all) is good enough?

If it were me, I would have just moved Woodson up to the active roster.

But clearly Bartel, the former Cowboy, was recommended to us by our next head coach...Jason Garrett! I keed, I keed.

next year's Washington Redskins Coaching staff:


HC - Jason Garrett
DC - Wade Phillips
to top it off
GM/President of football operations: Bill Parcells

Oh and we will be trading Moss to Buffalo for TO and we will send a 2nd round pick


Have I sent Redskins Nation into seizures yet?

We'll get Switzer instead of Parcells

Seriously, is there any real indication, any hint whatsoever, Snyder will turn this franchise over to a legitimate person? I keep hearing it mentioned but it seems 1) very speculative 2) a lot like flying in the face of Snyder's history as owner 3) possibly contrary to the direction we're headed.

...per the third point I really have to wonder if Snyder will see this season as justification for getting more involved instead of less. Allegedly he gave Vinny more control over the last two years and the result is, well, disaster. Who's to say Snyder hasn't been thinking of all the ways he'd do it better in full control? If he did have plans to turn the franchise over to a GM wouldn't you bring that guy in sooner than later so he can find out who's worth keeping around, both roster and staff wise? I mean I understand changing HC's midseason isn't wise but why wait to bring in a GM?

What if the GM is currently employed by another team? What if the GM wants to wait until season's end? What if the GM is already surveying the team, but from a far as say a "consultant". What if the GM is an internal candidate already?

Bruce Allen?

I think it's official now. Bartel to the Skins, Woodson gone, and FB Jonathan Evans coming to the practice squad

[Darrell_Green_28]

Redskins Sign Bartel to Serve As Third QB

[sportscurmudgeon]

Jonathan Evans??? THE Jonathan Evans???


Ive been waiting for that move all year. The Super Bowl is in the crosshairs next season now that he's here...

[SmootSmack]

Well it doesn't matter really...because it's our defense that's losing us games

I wouldn't read much of anything into any of these moves made at this point in the season. They're all temporary and just a small part of a process that has to be completed. It won't be long before we won't remember any of these guys names.

Woodson falling off, I remember when Mel Kipper had listed b4 the draft as a end of first round talent and this guy cant even keep on a practice squad.

Did you see him in college? At Kentucky this guy looked like he had it all; size, athleticism, decent accuracy. He seemed to have so much upside. Maybe he never committed himself & was lazy, or he's mentally slow.

Or maybe he's good and our management is too stupid to see it. Let's hope that he doesn't sign somewhere else and light it up.
