Here come the bad old days again re FA roundup–EXCEPT Allen/Shanahan not Cerrato are the ones with Danny’s ear.

Save some of that dough to re-sign Fletcher and Carriker and TWO good OL, because without D to get the ball back and if RGIII gets blindsided into the hospital, it’s all for naught.

themfman, what have you done for me lately? You bring up SB’s that were won in the 80′s as your be all end all argument. What have you done say that last DECADE. Nothing. You probably still think Duran Duran is still cool being that you live in the 80′s

You bring up the Bears as being cheap but the Bears have done a whole lot more being cheap than the Redskins have breaking bank.

Also, I hope RGIII does well WHEREVER he goes! If it’s DC, then so be it!

Not a Cleveland fan but @rg3todc, just so you know, you might wanna check years 1950, 1954, and 1955. Cleveland HAS won a sports championship! Just sayin….football fan here. My screen name isnt stating my allegiance!

if they truly had their “franchise quarterback” they wouldnt be chasing Manning.

By the way why would colston come 2 Chicago u don’t even want 2 pay your FRANCHISE RB who does it all & u have no line 2 protect your QB 2 even get the ball 2 him plus by the end of the year cutler will be hurt AGAIN but u have cap space. O & by the way how many SB rings has the chi-town owners or GM
Won lately. U should worry about your FRANCHISE player & not ours 2 be cuz if your team wasn’t cheap ass losers maybe you would have more than 1 SB in my time

themfman — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:27:59 +0000

They call him frachise QB cuz that’s what they plan on him being of course no one knows 4 sure but I see u just want 2 say something hateful & this is all u have worried about us just cuz we called him a franchise QB. Really really

As a Bears fan, let him got for that price. 12 mill per is not worth it and you could grab Colston for a whole lot cheaper than that.

As a NFL fan, you idiots calling RG3 a franchise QB before taking a OTA snap really don’t know much about draft history. NO ONE is a sure thing.

@jayquintana: That’s the key question, isn’t it? The answer is that they are very creative with how they structure contracts. As long as you have an owner who doesn’t mind converting cap money into guaranteed bonus money, cap space will rarely be a problem. And since it’s not my money, I would definitely support Snyder buying as many FAs as possible so long as he doesn’t trade away picks and has some else picking the FAs to spend the money on. And for the past 3 years, he’s been doing exactly that i.e. writing the checks while Bruce Allen and Shanahan pick the players. They whiffed on McNabb but they’ve gotten some really good FAs in the past 2 years. Add in several young draft picks and just maybe the Redskins have a good chance at getting out of the NFC East cellar.

VJax should not be paid anywhere near as much as Larry Fitz. He is big and fast but his hands are suspect, and he is a product of a good QB in a pass first system.

Say what you want about Snyder and the Skins, but at least they TRY to win, unlike the Bungals with Brown and the Chargers with Spanos.

When it comes to everyone harping these precious picks being given up and that the THIIIRD will have no talent around him because of that – you are just reaching like Al Davis on a receiver.

Redskins had more of these “irreplaceable” 1st round picks starting on their team last year then teams like the Patriots and the Steelers. Where did it get them? Heck nearly half of the playoff Saints roster is made up of near UDFA’s.

FACT – The league leaders in 2011 in:

Rushing Yards
Passing Yards
Tackles
Interceptions
Sacks
Receptions
Touchdowns

All were NOT 1st round draft picks! In fact 3 of these league leaders were undrafted. I won’t even provide these players named so maybe some of you clownshoes who spit nonsense will actually have to do some research for once.

@skinsfan6892 –im gonna ask a question to the fans of all the other teams. “WHY SO SERIOUS?”HAHAHA

@skinsfan6892…it a combination of them being jealous that a special once in a million style talent of the most important position on the field (QB), we got him. These people that are jealous have obviously seen YouTube clip of Sir Griffin #10. I must admit tho, if I was the fan of another team, I’d prolly be in the “I’M JEALOUS AND HATE THE REDSKINS FOR SMARTLY PICKING RG3, AND STILL ( Shh, cuz this is the important part boys and girls), still have most of your picks, which like.Shanny did last year, flip those 6 picks into 6 more ..this ain’t the years of Dan Sunder screwing up the team, its a new sheriff in town, And he’s carrying one the BIGGEST guns (Luck being the other) in RG3..two qbs who haven’t had this much upside since the year PM18 was drafted

If anybody else gets him, his upward trend continues.

If the skins get him, prepare for BUST status.

“They’ve got their franchise quarterback, and are now intent on surrounding him with an improved supporting cast.”

How is RG3 already a “franchise QB” already? Are you kidding me, he hasn’t even taken a snap! Couch, Harrington, Carr, Mirer, JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf. All drafted top players! Let’s give it some time before we say that.

……and btw lemmings…come up with some new Redskin insults because the same ole’ irrelevant “overpaying for FA’s” ones are stale….like 4 years stale. You’re probably the same idiots that think the Redskins ACTUALLY gave up 3 first round picks with they only really gave up 2 for RGIII. The dumb American sports fans strike again!

By: stunzeed5

stunzeed5 — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 06:14:11 +0000

“The Redskins overpaying”…..”off season champs!”……”Dan Snyder can’t buy a championship!” = OH #$%…..the Skins are getting RGIII…have 7 picks in the draft…..$40 million in cap space….and will most likely get Vincent Jackson…..JEALOUS AND WORRIED!

As a Bears fan I’d like nothing more than to drive up the price for Dan “Steinbrenner” Snyder and than draft Mike Floyd.
You’ll only widen the gap between you and the Giants, especially with the cap room saved by paying Eli in Rubber ducks, stickers and Oreo cookies.

Future first rounders gone for 3 years, a possible deecimation of Cap space for a unionista cry baby.
—————————————–

Skins have a first rounder this year,none the next 2.Get your hate right.
They have alot of cap space what are you talking about?

“Cam Newton did pretty well for the Panthers, but who’s to say the experiment works twice. Lightening doesn’t strike twice in the same place…”

Yeah,good thing the Panthers didn’t draft RG3,isn’t it?

If I didn’t know anything about football & Stumbled on this page I would think the skins just won the SB. All this HATE 4 Lil’ ol skins when we ain’t nothing we have nothing we r the champs march right they should never sign another FA again right & we only have enough 4 VJ right. I guess all u clown ass haters have the answers 4 Dan & the boys right. By the way I guess all of u r giants fans the same ones who wanted 2 jump off one of your bridges after we smacked them around with Rex @ the helm RIGHT.

That’s what free agency is for..NO TEAM BUILDS JUST FROM THE DRAFT ALONE. We ONLY gave them a 2nd rounder and 2 1st Rounders..only 3 picks for RG3

When will stupid Redskins fans learn that winning in the off season does not count? It has been decades since you put together a team via drafta nd player development.

SEE WHAT I MEAN MY FELLOW SKINS FANS?!

offseason hasn’t even started..All we did is get the #2 pick in the draft. FYI, we had 12 picks last year, about 6 picks THIS year, and you don’t see us building thru the draft?! Take off the Shades Stevie Wonder, even Helen Keller can see what we are doing

@shawnschaeffer

The Redskins have no d? 3 spots from the top 10, I guess thats no d. No running game? Helu ran for 100 yards in 3 straight games, he only started 5 (rookie). Yep, no running game. Do some research or watch football before you start posting.

rg3todc — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:10:46 +0000

And the clown who said RG3 had a shot to be good if he didnt come to Washington? Indy has completely gutted their team, Cleveland has no talent and has NEVER won a sports championship. We have 3 things that will make RG3 great. Our defense, Fred Davis, and an experience Super Bowl coach who Steve Young himself credits for being a better QB. So don’t worry bout us or Mr Griffin..he be at a stadium near you, stealing your fans in, he process ..I’m laughing at the blatant hate and jealousy
