Yes Snyder ruined this team but he’s been out o the picture since shanny came in. Did the control freak shanny’s ruin all the other qbs they worked with or did those qbs put up the some of the nest numbers of their careers and before someone mentions mcflabb I think andy reid trading him goin the division and his time in Minnesota explain how done he was

Mark my word. We will upgrade the line. We will pick up play makers at wr. All the fools in the media think we want Peyton. Lol. Shanny has a plan folks. Better believe that.

Snyder
————————-
How about one more word: Eli.

I love these people who think that Snyder is a worse owner than the Irsay twins. The only reasons the Colts have been successful are Polian and Manning – Irsay has been along for the ride. Now that Irsay has decided to start imitating Jerry Jones as GM, the Colts will be lost in the wilderness for 20 years just like the Redskins.

I also question the one of Blackmon in the article about his 40 time as well.

Then work on the offensive line thru the draft and free agency and sign either Vincent Jackson or Marques Colston.

I hope they just start calling him Griffin after the draft, I’m sick of the RG3 nickname already. We don’t call Clay Matthews III CM3 or anything like that, and his dad actually did play in the NFL.

I’m concerned about RGIII. I can’t put my finger on it. I think I’d rather go after Flynn or see if Kolb shakes out in Arizona. Or take Blackmon and a RB with our two first round picks and target a QB next year. I don’t know why but all this hype of RGIII is a concern.

He’ll miss out on RGIII and then over pay Flynn that will lock them into 5 years with a one hit wonder at QB.

The Redskins will NEVER get back to the playoffs until Synder sells the team (which he will never do). The NFC East is far too competitive to have an owner like Synder. His best bet would be to move the team to the NFC or AFC West where bad teams can win the division.

Hail to the deadskins!

And as for Manning’s reason for not wanting to play in the NFC East or NFC for that matter whether you have to beat your little brother or not I don’t see either of you playing in another Super Bowl especially against one another.

Theres no need to. Tannehill will be there for the browns or Redskins. I don’t see any leverage for the Rams. Only the Rams see this. LOL if nobody bargins with them are they really going to pick another QB, stir the pot up in St Louis with Bradford there. Pay two QB’s Top dollar, I dont think so. They will pick OL or WR, common sense on what they need. Browns already said forget it we have to many needs and your not getting both picks. Bruce Allen has done a great job the past two years with the Redskins and will not be fleeced by any team. Look elseware Rams

They still play in a superior division. They should have been sent packing with the arizona cardinals.

Griffin is a lazy in preparation, over-rated on QB skills, cannot read defenses, will run and run, and will never bring a Super Bowl to Washington. He will cause the Redskins to lose more games and the Redskins will end up draft poor for years – after having brought sanity back to the draft situation. I loathe this punk with all my heart and hope his damage to Washington can be mitigated by a short career and out on the street where he belongs. He is nothing that is being said about him – nothing. One of the most overrated QB prospects since Vince Young.

With the Browns 1st they can get Kalil or Blackmon (they can’t with Washington’s) and the Browns 2nd is several picks ahead of Washington’s. The Browns give up their 1st, 2nd and a next year 3rd, and Washington can’t beat it.

QB-RG3
RB- Helu, Royster
FB- Darrel Young, Mike Sellers
TE- Cooley, Fred Davis
LT-Trent Williams
LG-Steve Hutchinson
C- Will Montgomery
RG-Carl Nicks
RT-Jamal Brown
WR- Colston/V. Jackson, Santana Moss, Jabar Gaffney, Hankerson, Anthony Armstrong
One word describes this if it does happen SCARY…

If the Rams aren’t going to take a QB, stiff em with the pick and pay a little less for the 3rd pick. Then the Rams get stuck over paying for Blackmon. Rams don’t have as much leverage as they think. Unless the Rams call the leagues bluff and take RG3 then we got him, here’s the cost.

What if both teams really in this bidding war on draft day Skins and Browns just decide enough is enough and decide to trade with Minnesota who has much less of an asking price for the number 3 spot?

If that is the case would the rams take RG3? and if they do then okay both teams are back to maybe having to offer up more to the Rams.

My point is right now the Rams may think they are in the power position but are they? Skins and Browns do have the ability to turn this around on the Rams.

This should be fun in the coming weeks to see how this unfolds.

Both look feasible at this point.

I don’t think any other team outside of the top 10 would be willing to trade up for RG3, and even if they do, the Rams would need to be willing to drop that far back.
