I agree Rob Jackson made some real nice plays this year but Orakpo is too good to get rid of. Wishing Rak a speedy recovery.

________
This is a direct quote from the article, but that doesn’t mean the article didn’t oversimplify things to the point of stupidity. Morris and Fletcher appeared to support the launch of an interactive class by Visa and Navy Federal designed to teach American servicemen financial literacy and money management skills. Not blaming anyone, just saying that “a course designed to teach our nation’s military financial literacy and money management” sounds a hell of a lot better and more important than “a financial video game”.

Battled through injuries last year, missed a lot more tackles than usual but still sparked a defensive turnaround in the second half of the year that led his team to an NFC title. I’d take Fletch over Ray Lewis all day every day.

I love fletch but you can’t compare him to Lewis. it’s not fair to either. that’s like comparing Darrell Green to Deion Sanders…
_______
I agree with your main point 110%, but comparing Darrell Green to Deion Sanders, really? I mean it seems too easy in my book. Green was faster. Green was a great tackler; Sanders wouldn’t know a form tackle if it hit him ball-side, right below the sternum, wrapped up, and lifted while driving into the ground. Sanders was a great player, don’t get me wrong (and I love the Leon Sandcastle commercial), but comparing Green to Primetime is like comparing Curtis Martin to Jim Brown.

Fletch is closer to D. green with regards to being a natural. Lewis is closer to Sanders where as they both were able to be at the right place at the right time and you’d better account for them on the field. I’m a big Redskins fan but I’m no fan of bashing one person so another one shines. cut that out ya’ll

The more he mulls, the better he plays the next year. 2011- mulleed for a long time, amazing season. 2012- re-signed with little or no mulling: Orakpo gets injured, leaving Fletcher to cover tight ends; season is only very good, not amazing.

That’s a fact. He’s got another season in him, and then he’ll hang up his jersey with the best of the best, without a doubt.

He could be in the middle if Ironman doesn’t come back. But Fletcher we need you back, your still playing great, better then Ray Lewis in my opinion, and Fletcher has played almost a full season more games then Lewis. He’s one of the best leaders in the NFL, and that’s what really makes him a special player on D. But big picture wise, we really need that 5 mill in cap space. But I’d rather him come back, then to have the cap space. And I garuntee he will never do what Ray did and make a mockery of the NFL with his “lastride” deal. Fletcher is a much better man then that

I hope he comes back and plays another year. He doesn’t get the longevity attention that Ray Lewis gets, but he’s been a quality player year after year.

He has been their leading tackler and will continue to lead that Defense until he calls it quits. $5.5 million is appropriate pay for someone like Fletcher. He deserves every penny with his leadership skills and dedication to his team. I hope we get to see him play for at least a couple more years.

Kerrigan was average w/out Rak on the other side. 4.5 sacks is not going to get the job done. Skins are about to extend Orakpo so there goes your logic.

It’s up to our great staff to find his replacement THIS OFFSEASON. No more projects either. If it were up to me, I’d trade Orakpo’s overrated self and pay Rob Jackson too. I called Rob being the better player back in the leadup to Week 3 vs Cincy too.
