That's true. Hockey is a sport where one guy can have a huge effect and you get a long time to look at prospects, and there are other things too. Still, keeping your picks and not making transactions with FAs and trades is something that can apply to both sports.

I think we're like Oakland in 2009. Awful quarterback and a not too many good players elsewhere. We will need to make next year's draft count.

I'm by no means lamenting the loss but as someone who didn't think Hank was gonna do squat for this team, it's a shame to see him end the season in such fashion after finally showing some promise. But this year is a wash anyway, he has next season to look forward to.

[quote=skinster;859444]Disagree. I might be overlooking something big though (and it being a different sport isn't overlooked), what do you see that makes this apples to oranges?[/quote]

People don't care in general about the NHL as much as the NFL. People in DC especially don't care about the Capitals as much as the Redskins. You can afford to be a bit more methodical if you're running the Capitals. But it's a point I've made that Snyder had to (and I believe has) stop acting like the fans he's been all of his life and act like an owner who basically says "F U you moronic fans. This is how things are going to be done. So you can bitch and moan all you want that our 7th round rookie OL got burned on a sack in his second career start. But I'm not going to make wholesale changes because you're so effing impatient."

The Caps made as high stakes a move as the Redskins have ever made in signing Jaromir Jagr to, I believe, the biggest contract in NHL history. And he was a colossal failure. But does anyone talk about that? No, yet even when the Redskins were making playoff runs in 05 and 07 fans couldn't let go of 5 to 10 year old FA moves.

There's also no farm system in the NFL. Redskins can't draft Kevin Barnes and let him play several games a year against other professionals in Hershey, PA for a few years before calling him up.

I know Leonsis, I like Leonsis. I think he's done a great job in turning the Caps around (though they still fail tremendously come playoff time). But I just don't think it's so simple as to say what works for the Caps works for the Redskins.

I think that the Redskins fans are some of the most patient there are. The Eagles fans would have torn down the stadium. Every year we suck, and we still get excited every year. I like the way we are going inspite of our record, but unless we get a real QB, we are going to continue goinng nowhere. Hankerson gave us hope that we finally had a number one reciever on our team. We could watch him this season and hope he could become that player. Now we have less to get excited enough to watch a Redskins game. It is just hard to stomach.

Eagle fans are in a different position. We're at the point where we're just hoping to make the playoffs. They've been making the playoffs regularly for the past decade and have nothing to show for it.

Here you have the core of the Redskins' endemic problem.

They started the season with 9 guys on the roster/practice squad who were WRs. Now they are out signing guys off the couch (Anderson) to plug in. If the 9 guys they had on the roster/practice squad were not satisfactory, they why were they there and why did the "talent search" not begin earlier?

As I recall, the Redskins brought in a cavalcade of running backs last year toward the end of the season and none of them were particularly impressive - - as should be expected when they have been out of the league for the majority of a season. So, why is a guy that no one has wanted for half a year better than what you have on the roster/practice squad? Is not not an indictment of the folks who built the roster/practice squad?

BTW, Terrell Owens remains unsigned. He is a pain in the ass of astronomical proportions - - but even on a recentl;y rehabbed knee, he is probably better than anyone on the roster now. Please do not let that tempt the Skins' braintrust into contacting him...

Thats probably what caused the injury. Guys you would think Hank had broken his back and was done with football for good. Yes, it sucks he does not get the playing time but the coaches did get to see what he can do. Next year. If we can just find a way to beat dallas I don't care if se go 4/12.

I'm not sure we're patient as a fan base but we surely are addicted to this drug known as Redskins Football, no matter how bad it may be for us.

re: Hankerson/Golston Placed on IR; Darrion Scott and Stallworth Re-Signed
 

Don't sign someone else, bring up Aldrick Robinson, we drafted him lets see what he has. Gaffney, Austin, Robinson, Armstrong, Anderson, and Paul go with those 6 and then make decisions this offseason on all of them if they are in the teams plans for 2012 or not.

At this point realistically we are not going to win more than 5 games. Our team is just beat all to hell right now. We all knew to have any chance this year we would have to be virtually major injury free and have more good Rex than bad Rex. THAT FOR SURE HASN'T HAPPENED!

Hail Skins - one of these years will be our years!

I believe he slipped or something on the Rex pick. Hankerson pounded the ground in anger or frustration when he got hurt.

Hankerson will be just fine. He will come back next year and claim the #1 WR position from Moss, and will hopefully have a stud rookie throwing to him.

This is getting too ****ing old. We are totally screwed. Not only do we have underachievers for a football team, we have guys that get injured left and right.

I am sorry, but don't the Skins have a strength coach? A decent trainer? Linemen always get banged up, but this is frigging ridiculous.

Yeah the Caps have a concrete plan in place to be a winner because they have to win to make $$$$$$$$, while Snyder and co just go with the wind. THe Caps have to win to keep the seats filled. Snyder has his team followed by a bunch of us masochists that come back for his BS every year, fill the stands, etc. I have a much better shot at marrying a Victoria's Secret model than the Skins have of making the playoffs in the next decade. And by the way, I don't buy that he was a big fan stuff. That is his cover for acting like a fool, while in reality he doesn't really give a damn about winning. The guy isn't a fool, he knows he can jerk us around and make a gazillion dollars no matter what. He vyes for most lucrative sports franchise on the planet with his bud Jerry Jones every year in Forbes, and he keeps the profits growing. All he has to do is keep new, fresh faces coming in every 2-3 years to get the mob to think " Yeah, this is it!!"SB here we come!!!!!!! Yeah, we finally had a decent draft, the best draft since we got Champ, but now our stud T is oft injured and might be suspended for failing a drug test. Oh goody!!!!! Brown is going to be oft injured as well, akin to Tre Johnson at the end of his stint with us. Our secondary sucks, our best LB has only 3 years left tops, and our only hope is that we draft the right rookie QB. Even that doesn't quarantee us anything.

re: Hankerson/Golston Placed on IR; Darrion Scott and Stallworth Re-Signed
 

This sucks for Hank's development. He was about to get a heavy dose as a #1 receiver, and now that's on hold until next year. Hopefully he comes back full strength. I'm hoping that Shanny signs a proven WR like Bowe from KC. Hank looked great all day Sunday, especially on the play he was injured. He certainly looks more promising than Malcolm Kelly ever did, although that's not saying much.

Just great. A shitty season just got even shittier.

I managed to catch the 2nd half of the game on Sunday and was excited to see Hankerson doing well.

With the way this season has gone, it only makes sense we would lose him for the season after a breakout game.

Who cares what it's called? It's semantics. We are already in rebuilding mode, that's what sucks even more about losing a guy like Hank, who needs all the time he can get.

LOL, ask the Native American's. Maybe they did some loser dance because the Skins won't change their name and logo.

But you might actually be on to something.... maybe a complete make over would work. Starting from the top (owner) on down to the name and logo. lol.

So if one would be needed what color scheme should the team pick? the Browns moved to Baltimore and was forced to leave the name and logo and vuala they started winning.
