Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

I really find it moronic and of “poor taste” to make fun or proclaim: “being tired” of redskin discussion on a Redskin DISCUSSION BOARD. This is the offseason discussion, what do you expect people to talk about? A lot of the trades and signings that some have proposed on this site in the past have came true.
As I remember it, some on this site didn't believe we would hire Shannahan, fire Vinny, bring Bruce Allen or that we could even sign Haynesworth and keep Hall. All these things that happened where discussed on this site before it ever occurred. IMO most times on this site members undervalue the talent of our team and make it seem that we are 2 steps from the Rams or the Browns, NOT TRUE. I understand people can be cynical, but please remember the reason that this site was created… To give intelligent fans the opportunity to share their dreams, passions and have discussion about the team they love.
A lot of us on here have been on this site for a long time and understandably after a while it may become annoying to see the same topics and same ideas all the time; however I ask please to let people dream. Let’s talk Redskins, not troll around in Football related discussions looking to highjack the discussion into talks about nothing and bashing other members. Take that to the off-topic section.
In answer to the discussion topic I am tired of threads that are made as passive aggressive cynical jokes about other member’s legitimate Football discussion. I come on this site to talk Redskins football, not about other members of the message board. No one's opinion on here is better or worse than others.

Step off my soap box…

i see diehard's point - people are complaining about redskins football discussions on a redskins fan forum. but i think there comes a time when we all have already said everything there is to say on a particular subject then .....

... we bring in a new HC or have the 4th overall pick in the draft or any other change in the redskins landscape which digs up the JC talk.

what will shanny think of JC? will JC fit in his scheme? should we draft o line or qb with the 4th? is bradford or clausen a franchsie qb? is JC a franchise qb? can we win with JC and a better o line? etc . . . .

just the nature of the beast imo. and JC could have done more to silence the same criticism we hear year after year. (jk)

Not only that but what kind of a message board would this site be if it controlled who made the topics and what topics were made? We will go through a bunch of BS topics and get a really good one. It's just the way it is. Plus we are in a dry spell right now. At seasons end we waited for VC's firging. Then waited 2 hrs for his named replacement. LOL. Then we waited for Zorn to be fired. Then who the next HC was. Then all the positional coach's. Pro bowl then SB. Right now there is nothing to discuss other then who will likely stay and who will be cut or traded. Then it will be who are we picking up in FA and a dry spell until draft day. This happens every year folks.

I'll take any of these topics though over the "Lets see your Redskins cave" topic. I don't have enough rooms in my house to simply set aside one room for nothing but Redskins gear, collectables, or yard sale items. I'll buy hats, jerseys, key chains things like that but to see some of the rooms.... Don't get me wrong they look nice and I might be slightly jealous but I can't see myself spending that kind of money or revolving that much of my world around a team I don't work for or play for. In other words take one of your rooms and throw a bunch of CNN or ESPN shit in it and step back and take a look at it. :)

Yeah, I see it from the point that if we didn't re-hash things we'd have nothing to talk about. But when you've got the same 8 people arguing for 30 pages it doesn't give me much reason to enter the thread. I'd rather have a new thread pop up and something to follow there.

I understand completely the sense of humor in it. but I like to be the voice of reason for the person who just joined or is visiting the site. Or the young kid still in school who wants to talk about his favorite team and his trades don't make a lick of sense. If I came to a discussion board and one of the top 5 topics of discussion is "What topic have you had enough of", I'd be like WTF? I thought people like to talk about redskins?!? Either way its not a big deal and threads like this won't stop me from visiting the site. I just feel like this discussion should be placed somewhere off topic.

I still got love for ya'll though

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

off topic - it seems everyone commenting on this thread joined btw Jan and Mar, except for that black sheep 53 fan.

im guessing the months when most people join is in that same 3 month offseason stretch. i wonder if thats indicative of fan forums for all nfl teams or just ours b/c the skins are the reigning off-season champs with so many coaching changes, etc.

Well I really joined in November. But for myself, and I'm sure many others in this thread what happened (and Matty could tell you more) is the site totally crashed on us and we all had to re-register in late February one year. That's why you see a lot of Feb-March registrations

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

Only the cool kids registered in Feb 2004

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

Im sick of arguing that if we draft a qb in the first round the oline will still be addressed.

I disagree. When I started here people were quick to bite my head off whenever I would come up with some moronic post. Now that I'm a bit experience, I'll gladly return the favor. :FIREdevil

[quote=Mattyk;664364]QB talk is always expected, it's tiring but again, expected. By nature the position gets way too much hype and way too much blame.

The CP talk will go away if he produces.

What really grinds my gears though are the wacky trade scenarios. That one posted above by KurtShanaman is so freaking ridiculous and it's exactly what drives me right up the wall[/B].[/quote]

Seriously. With his scenario, we end up with FIVE first round picks. LOL. I know it's going to be an uncapped year and all, but that's just nonsense.

The ridiculous trade scenarios are definitely annoying. The Colt Brennan crap annoys me too.

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

I went with the TRADES option. Too many crazy trade rumors. Hey lets trade Minnesota our 3rd & 6th rd picks far Brett Favre! LOL! Just havin' fun.BTW I love this this site. Props to all involved!!! Keep up the good work.:goodjob:

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

I could have voted JC, but then my schtick as Gus Frerotte would be called into question as just going along with everyone. I have a need to be a fly in the ointment!!! I voted Colt. The only thing that saved him from being ousted by Daniel was Daniel's smaller stature.

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

I voted for CP. Because all the useless re-hash threads are annoying.

but "Unrealistic trade scenarios" should have been chosen.

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

Tough call between Campbell and the moronic trade scenarios some people come up with but I went with JC since the Campbell thing is pretty much set for 2010. He's back, as the starter, regardless of what we do with the #4 pick yet it will still be gnashed over for the next 7 months.

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

I like how the poll says we haven't had enough of Colt Brennan yet. The Cult of Colt lives on!!!

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

We have a new trade scenario. Courtesy of Manaconda21 over at ES:
[quote][B]What do you think about trading portis for cromartie and drafting L. Blount or Toby Gerhart?[/B]
Trade Portis for Cromartie, move Cromartie to Free Safety and Laron back to Strong Safety and then draft L. Blount or Toby Gerhart to compliment our speed back anthony alridge.[/quote]

Atleast it would please the Gerhart fan club over here at the warpath

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

^ Drafting Blount would add "punch" to our running attack.

As for getting Cromartie and moving him to free safety, sure! Let's take a player who is known for not hitting and move him to a position which requires hitting!

We also should trade Brian Orakpo and Chris Cooley for A.J. Feeley.

What happened to the Gerhart fan club? It feels like it's been dead for a while now.

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

It sounds to me that if the Rams trade with tampa bay it would mean to me that they are taking a QB. Or else it would not make sense

Re: CRedskinsRule presents: What WP frequently discussed topic have you had enough of?
 

Jason Campbell. He's mediocre and may just pad his stats enough to get traded. Hell, even if he helps the team win the Super Bowl, he still should be traded since if that happens, all that means is that he's proven that he's the freaky fusion of Mark Rypien and Doug Williams, just like Gibbs thought he saw in studying him in college.

This has probably already been covered. How about, [I]hey why don't we pick up (insert washed up overpriced FA)? We'd be unstoppable with him and so and so![/I]
