Redskins ready to $pend?

[skinster]

I just want to say that I am a logical person, and a fan of the tank for luck strategy. However, I am red in the face with excitement right now about all the free agents we are looking to pick up. The fan in me is overtaking what I know is in the best longterm interest of our team and is totally on board with buying every free agent mentioned. I wonder how long my excitement will last? I'll probably complain about how this was the dumbest thing we could possibly do at the end of the season (which it probably is) but I'm just so excited to see us (hopefully) signing all these guys. My emotions are taking over my better thinking.

You must have a very interesting definition of logical.

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.

Oh boy, here we go again.

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.

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.

I know I said I wasn't going to reply to any comments because I said my piece, but I'm going to make an exception to this one. Challenging my fanhood to the redskins doesn't fly with me. Don't say I'm not rooting for the skins. I'm rooting for them to win the superbowl. If god comes down and grants the redskins magical powers this year and we win the superbowl, I will be just as happy as any of you (probably more so), but the fact of the matter that is impossible with john beck as our qb, and don't tell me it isn't. There is a fine line between hope and delusion. This is a lost season, and we have a rare opportunity to grab a once in a generation qb, don't waste it. I'm looking out in the best interest of my team, are you?

A) Redskins fans root for their team to win as many games over a decade as possible
B) The best way to win as many games as possible over a decade is to have a franchise qb.
C) Andrew luck is the best possible candidate to be a franchise qb

Logic-get andrew luck.

You can't guarantee greatness. Luck could get hurt this year... or in any year in the NFL. And will still need a good team to be built around him.

I can't guarantee greatness, but I can put very high odds on it. Yes we need a good team around him, but lets get real, plug rex grossman in on the colts and are they going to do much better than we just did last year? QB is SO huge.

I'd be so happy if I never had to hear this again. Not only do you not guarantee yourself getting him but it would put a huge black mark on the sport and especially the franchise. How do you tell 53 guys that we need to lose for the potential of getting 1 guy? Or do you not tell them, just use them incorrectly and lose the entire locker room?

Then you get all giddy about potential free agent signings. Danny, is that you?

lol I'm sorry, my brain conflicts with my heart. My brain tells me that the best thing to do for our franchise would be to get luck. My heart wants to sign every high profile free agent and at least have more hope that we win now.

Congrats, you've spent a whole thread and have only identified a non-plan, and a bad plan. You're qualified to run for congress.

Also Kris will be cheap after two awful injury filled seasons. He will be low risk with possible high reward pick up
