Eagle fans when Desean was released: 'Well none of his former teammates have spoken up for him. That's proof positive that the front office made the correct decision.'

Re: Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson
 
The Eagles' fans are desperate. I think they all know deep down that cutting him was probably a bad idea, that this might be a bad sign about Kelly, and that us signing him might really hurt them. SO they are lashing out with hope that none of that is true. My feeling on it is that I don't expect this to be the greatest signing ever and I KNOW it hurt them. We've won already on the deal. Especially since they're all so butt-hurt about it.

[quote=Mechanix544;1068907]I've been hesitant to post my "article" that I wrote on the Jackson signing in here, as it is chock full of errors since I threw it together in about an hour. But as this is my favorite Redskins forum, and I value your alls opinions here it is. Maybe you all can give me a bit of constructive criticism. One of my first articles ever, currently taking a couple journalism courses online to get better. Tell me what you all think.

Good, easy to read article, with a lot of interesting information.

Someone mentioned more paragraphs, good idea, will make it much more readable, especially on mobile devices. Also, I believe it's DeSean (not Desean), don't know why, but getting names right is always a big deal. A little grammar note, "Albert Morris has ran..." needs to say "has run..." or simply use the past tense which is "ran".

Again, good job, looking forward to more...

seen all this before, Dan Snyder move written all over it just like McNabb... plenty of ecstatic redskins fans after that one as well.

Another off season championship locked up.

As always I desperately hope I'm wrong and suddenly Dan Snyder fantasy football starts to be a viable team building strategy, or maybe he just gets lucky at some point and it just works out for him, much like his business success where he bankrupted his dad multiple times before he finally accidentally got rich on the 90's big fake "consulting" business fad.

Snyder I feel is more than worthy of a lot of criticism. I imagine that if someone decided to do a show about nightmare bosses Snyder would be on the short list. And given some of the stuff he's done with litigation and the like as well as other things its clear the guy is no saint.

With that said I feel like the one criticism that keeps getting thrown Snyders way in spite of being most unfair is that he has continued to meddle with front office football decisions. I'd say he's actually been quite the opposite, as his involvement in football matters seems to be doing what fans wanted him to do all along, simply open up the vault and sign the checks when needed.

Now maybe thats a product of Allen and Shanahan doing a great job of setting up boundaries, maybe its a product of Snyder taking a lot of the criticism to heart following the 2009 season, but regardless I think at this point its fair to say that his involvement in football decisions is limited at best. Certainly not much different than the level of involvement you see from guys like Kraft and Allen, at least in regards to football matters.

Yeah nothing at all

1) seemingly desirable proven player
2) smart franchise that makes more good personnel decisions than bad doesn't want him suddenly
3) franchise with a history of flashy big name off season championship winning moves that tend to blow up in their faces snapps him up.

It's nothing at all like McNabb, one catches the ball and the other throws it... okay you win...

Seriously it's like the guy in your FF league who always snapps up the last two years top performers and is shocked when he doesn't make the playoffs "But I had all the best players" That's Dan snyder's redskins and this off season is no different.

The only question is will they get lucky and make me eat my words or will I be posting a hollow and not at all enjoyable "I told you so" at the end of the season to a bunch of people I totally commiserate with and wish weren't suffering through this bizarro-double-reverse-fecked-up-sports-version-of-groundhogs-day along with me.

Maybe my fellow skins fans know this is doomed just like I do and they just want to cling to that false hope at the beginning of the "off season championship" despite knowing where it most likely will end up. Maybe that's all they have left. I envy anyone who can go into this season expecting more than a mediocre, media circus and player personnel soap opera filled embarrassment.

It all started with "we're going to make RGIII a pocket passer" and got more preposterous from there.

1.) McNabb was a mid 30 year old QB past his prime
2) We traded multiple picks to get McNabb
3) Our offensive coordinator said he did not want McNabb

1) DeSean is just hitting his prime at 27 years old
2) We gave up zero picks to get him
3) The OC (and HC) strongly advocated going after him

Anytime we get a "big name" player, out comes the "Well there goes Dan Snyder, playing fantasy football again" rants. Simply amazing

That is all pure 100% supposition and wishfullness. Fan fiction.

On the other hand McNabb and D Jackson fitting Snyders previous MO perfectly fits past examples of a pattern... as well as the intentional leakage of the previous HC that portrayed Snyder as still being Snyder, multiple media stories supposing the same things and everyone who's NOT a Redskins fan seeing the incredibly obvious.

Don't worry if Snyder's fantasy football ever results in great football I will be the first to give the OWNER full credit for making it work. But the part of Redkins football that didn't have Snyder written all over it in the last ten years was a couple months during Marty's short stint, Gibb's 2.0's first season and Shanahan's second offseason.

I'm calling RGIII Snyders brain child as well, I've never seen Shanahan fall so in love with a guy who never ran a pro offense, never memorized a playbook, progress through a passing tree, and never had to stand in the pocket to the tune of 3 1st round draft picks... TOTALLY unlike anything Shanahan ever did. Snyder written all over it, I'd be shocked if in 10 years we aren't watching "A Football Life" on the NFL channel about Shanahan's career and we don't find out the truth of that matter... Just like we got to listen to Jimmah Johnson admit on camera that he tanked his first season with the 'Boys intentionally to get the first pick.

Hope I'm wrong, please oh please oh please let me be wrong...

3 year old age differences are relevant to who got excited and decided to go get the flashy big name how?
Circumstances of acquisition are relevant to who got excited and decided to go get the flashy big name how?

3) supports my contention that Snyder was over involved in the McNabb deal as well, thanks. Unfortunately the present coaching staff was hired by Snyder leading to two obvious conclusions... that they might not be that great at judging (based on past Snyder hires), and that they might be towing the company line... something that tends to happen around notoriously infantile Billionaires with short man complexes.

I don't see material differences in these moves... just circumstantial ones.
What matters is that in both cases a team (the same team as it turns out) that has a track record of savvy personnel moves no longer wanted the players, and a team with a history of flashy big name moves that fizzle and turn into media circuses DID want them (in both cases as it turns out).

We shall see, I hope we see DeSean burning DB's and turning into a great signing. I expect to see some burnt DB's yes, but also some pouting under adversity, some over focus by the media on him, some ugly stories printed the night before big games... you know the usual...

Well it must be your birthday then because you are wrong. Put some effort in next time. Or not, I don't care but at the end of the day the mainstream narrative about DS was set 10 years ago and unlike Wikipedia there apparently is no way to edit it.

He has not been involved in the management of the team more so than any other of the supposed "good" owners. Even his involvement dating back was overstated at times and certainly oversimplified.

The correct view about DS is that he HAS failed repeatedly to get the right people to make the decisions that everyone (fans and media) alike have decided he shouldn't make.

Negativity is fine. Ignorance is not.

If you had said you worry about the move because we could have used that money at a position of greater need, DeSean Jackson has been known to slack off sometimes when things don't go his way, Desean Jackson struggles over the middle in traffic especially if you are physical with him early, it's concerning that the Eagles would just let him go when he's a the peak of his career...any of those things, then I could see your point.

But instead you said this is just like the McNabb deal, which it is not. No matter how much you want to say it is, it's not. So no, your opinion doesn't deserve my approval

44 goes -- you have to admit you got owned here. You're not going to admit it, but clearly the McNabb thing was different as above.

Regardless, I think we get your general point in that big FA moves don't always pan out, but at least we didn't set the franchise back a few picks. I personally think positions like WR or CB should translate on a different team. Most other positions may or may not pan out with different schemes, etc. I suspect DJax will be good if he stays healthy and RG3 can deliver the ball.

The Jackson signing was an opportunity, we had our cap in order and we made a play on a player that kills us. It was unexpected as far as no one knew Chip was gonna release Jackson. In the past we wait on free agents knowing we are gonna break the bank. We have to sell our soul for a player. Jackson situation is the opposite.

I expect the hc to have a say in every aspect of the team, but to constantly be second guessed or restrained at every turn probably is frustrating.

The DeSean signing was a no-brainer just considering his on field talent and production. And all of the nfl analysts were outwardly saying this.

Only negatives that they were expressing were - there must be something that the Eagles know that no one else does off the field.
And after the Redskins signed him - there was negativity just because they don't have confidence in the Redskins decisions and of recent past.

Are we actually comparing the mcnabb signing to the djax signing. I know u arent. I know u are just amusing someone, and i also know that even the djax signing could backfire. But - come on.

Will this blow up in our face? Probably because he's the Skin's biggest FA signing this season. History says this is a bust. But screw history. For my sanity, I have to believe he helps get us back to the playoffs and sweeping the sheagles.

You mean it wasn't Danny's fault? Amazing.

Why do I picture Jackie Gleason and Jr. from the Smokey and the Bandit movies when I hear that quote? With Shanny following up with "Remind me to kick your mama in the ass when I get home"

I'm really sick and tired of Danny boy meddling with this team. That clown had to go and hire Jim Zorn and bring in Albert Haynesworthless with a contract that nobody was going to pay him. When is this moron going to learn. What? Wait....what year is this? 2014? My bad, thought we were still in 2009.

Carry on.
