The other thing it shed's a light on is how far back the RG3 trade has set us back.... and the ripple effect it had on the franchise.
Well, do you see Belichick or the guy in Philly Roseman trade three #1 picks for ANY player?
With the cap you can't make deals like that because the league values young and cheap.
If you can stock your roster with 10-12 core players and fill in around them with younger, hungry guys that have solid ability but are not stars you can win a championship.
The ironic thing is that the New England Patriots have done just that over the past 15 years.
Meanwhile, the Redskins are still in the mode of trying to make big splashy one-time moves to stem the tide and make everything turn out OK.
Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen have been watching too many Disney movies.
Who thought that the genius McCloughan was going to go all in for two guys in Josh Doctson and Su'a Cravens that were this unproductive?
He said he wanted 'football' players.
Well, both Doctson and Cravens seemed more like finesse athletes that came into the league and weren't ready for the physical aspect of the game.
Cravens walked away after one year. He says he wants back into the league now, but who is going to trust he doesn't walk away again?
Once at USC...........Once in Washington.............Cravens needs to be doing something else for a living.
And I wouldn't want him back here. We have Swearinger and Nicholson at safety as a tandem to move forward with.
And I don't trust that Doctson is going to all of a sudden show up for camp and be 'reborn' as a prime receiver.
Agree. Only caveat is that it will be interesting to see if Smith and Doctson (or even Pryor if the Skins surprise and don't cut bait on him) develop some trust and confidence and timing - something Kirk could not accomplish in any meaningful degree. That could indicate that neither guy is a true NFL starter, or it could be a matter of chemistry or lack of trust. Hard to say. But sometimes a change in QB can make a world of difference to a WR.
Cavanaugh is our OC (officially speaking).
But I have a strong feeling that you're referring to Gruden, correct ?
Absolutely to Gruden. I'm good giving him 1 more season as HC but dude needs to relinquish game day play-calling. He's turrible at it and would gladly welcome Cavanaugh or another offensive assistant in that spot.
Good points Bulldog. I know there will be more howling and gnashing of teeth if the Redskins go impact RB or WR at pick 13, but if a sure fire star (to the extent that's possible) is there for us, I think you could justify it. Especially if it's a premier RB.
