Bias? You mean like the Panthers, with their non biased Head Coach bringing in his old College QB - PJ Walker? You call it bias, but in reality it's more about familiarity and fit. It's what all 32 teams do with regard to players and all levels of their staffs. |

Re: Skins trade for Kyle Allen
Oh well, we'll see what the draft holds but this was a big surprise IMO

Re: Skins trade for Kyle Allen
585k is cheaper than what we would probably have to pay if he was released and teams were able to bid on him. so we give up some draft capital but maybe save a mil or so in cap this year.
thats if we use our cap money. seems like every year we dont use all of our cap and just roll it over. which im fine with bc iot makes next year a better year for us to add pieces and be a competitive football team. 10.8 million was rolled over from last years unused cap. I get being smart, rolling over cap ... but at some point do we fully commit to going all in on winning? when do we say, this is the year we go 100% to winning?

Re: Skins trade for Kyle Allen
Yes, I hear ya and agree. Went on a bit of a tangent there ... seems like we never use our full yearly cap amount anymore and just roll 10-15 million into next seasons cap .. only to not use it and roll another 10-105M into next season ... I get the approach and agree with it ... as long as it is done to set up youre "all in" year. Which i guess is going to be 2022.

Re: Skins trade for Kyle Allen
I wouldn't mind so much if we had a bunch of extra picks, but we have few to start with and it seems likely we were bidding against ourselves

Re: Skins trade for Kyle Allen
Maybe we can trade a 4th for their water boy. Heard he's hitting mouths from 10 feet out.

Skins trade for Kyle Allen
Not surprised by this move. With the possibility of a shortened offseason we need someone in the building that knows the system.
Don’t hate this move at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Skins trade for Kyle Allen
Some of you are looking at this all wrong.
Teams have to prepare for the very real possibility of no mini camps and no offseason program until training camp. That's a huge issue when you don't have any QB's on the roster that know the offense. This isn't about Allen being brought in as a threat to Haskins, it's about having a very short term bridge to Haskins if need be. Because learning a new offense on the fly in training camp is not an ideal situation and it would be asking a lot from a 2nd year guy. |

Re: Skins trade for Kyle Allen
Wow. Really don't understand the vitriol some are reacting with. Good young backup QB with experience, knows the system and the OC, and has a salary of $585K. Folks are acting as if it is a foregone conclusion that the Redskins were going to draft a future HOFer in round 5. The price is more than fair for what we are getting, IMO. Good move.
