Sorry, I won't. I just had to get that off my chest.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

[QUOTE=sportscurmudgeon]Malcom:

Thank you for your concern. I'm feeling perfectly fine. :food-smil

Actually, most of my posts here try to deal with what I see as the reality of the situation with regard to the Washington Redskins and the NFL in general. Compared to the prevailing tone here of looking at the world through rose colored glasses - with burgundy and gold frames of course - I come off sounding "negative".

For example, when I criticized the Skins' WR corps last year, I was told that the Skins had WRs that were in the top 3 of the league. It's fine to want that to be true, but when I took a look at the end of the season and did a realistic check, I don't think that was the case. :vomit-smi

But I'm feeling just fine here in Curmudgeon Central. I might have an obligation to offer some contrary remarks if anyone here decides to say that the most important comeback for a Redskin in 2005 would be Rock Cartwright or Sultan McCullough. But so far, we seem not to have anyone in danger of treading into that uncharted terriroty![/QUOTE]

I normally take your posts with a grain of salt. I always like to hear dissenting opinions (ex. Shane), but there is always one person who needs to point out the things that a lot of us choose to ignore or do not see.

You are that person in most cases, hence the reason I'm always entertained to see when the last post was by you and a number of other people on here I highly respect (I'm not going to list, for fear of forgetting someone).

Speaking of a Sultan McCullough comeback...

When the hell is he going to take his place as the #1 back? :food-smil

:joke:

Agreed, it's not even worth the effort.

Just laugh and move on.

Kids are home from school, we get the occasional idiot. They never last long and if they get no attention they are gone even faster.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

When Jansen went down I knew our entire season was in the toilet. He will make the most difference.

Peolpe say they were suprised that our D played so well without Arrington but when you consider that we were without our 2 best defensive players from the previous year (Arrington and Bailey) it makes what G.W. did that much more impressive!

I think Bowen is a scrappy player but I don't think he will cut it at C.B. (and I hope we never have to find out) and as for his blitzing ability that keeps being mentioned, I may be wrong but I believe that the 2 sacks he got in week 1 last year are the only 2 of his career.

It will be good to have all of them back and I hope they all have career years!!!!!!!

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I have one that no one on here or anyone would speculate on. My choice for comeback player of the year will be Brunnel. Ramsey will get hurt someway, its the nature of the position. Brunnel steps in and catches on fire. That would qualify for a comeback. Just speculation and I truly hope Ramsey lasts the season but stranger things have happenend. Plus I have a problem considering a comeback player from injury. They were good to start, comming back from a dismal season shows more character and will power of the player.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I would vote for the next joe montana: Patrick Ramsey. After all he has proven how great he is. Just look at his win-loss record and his arm strength and his potential. Just look how far he has gotten us the past 3 years. Wow. He is truly the greatest player all time on the Redskins if not the entire league.

I agree with all his fans on this site he will throw for 75 tds and 20,000 yards he is that good. His potential and arm strength will lead us to the superbowl.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I debated on commenting on this, but rather than look at the win-loss record, I would look at the supporting cast.

It's a team, not a Ramsey.

I agree Malcolm. Hopefully the comeback player will be all 11.

If Ramsey takes us to the playoffs, I bet many here will change their opinion on him. But its gonna take more than just Ramsey. It's the offense as a whole. O-Line, Ramsey, Portis, and our WR's (and my boy Cooley!)

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

Definitely man. It's a combination of things that has happened the last few years and now hopefully a combination of things improving will get us back where we want to be.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

The QB gets a lot more credit or a lot more blame than they deserve depending on how the team does. There are so many factors and the QB is the easiest to blame/praise. I just want the season to start!

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

Seriously. I've been updating my Dad on what's been going on and he is like "Screw the summer!"...

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

This has got to be the quietest/slowest offseason ever for the Redskins

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I'd much rather be bored than be like, "Dammit, why did the Redskins sign Mushin Muhammed, Courtney Brown and Plaxico Burress."

It does suck though. Soooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooooooow...

Are you willing to let him prove himself or should we just cut him now and start all over again??

He's headed into his 4th season. 4 years is a pretty decent gauge for a young QB. If he stinks in '05 I'm in agreement the team should look to move on. Until then, let's give him the '05 season before we throw him to the wolves.

Can I change my vote . ^

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

skinz domin8 is constantly cutting on people here. I dont see the need for such rampant skepticism. So what, we like our starting QB. Most of us understand the hurdles he has to overcome to even be in the top 20 starters in this league. but we want to give him a chance. skinz domin8, relax, please.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

the biggest impact will be Jansen because of his ability to help in the run. but I voted for Barrow because not only will he help the d if he comes back healthy. He may even be an up grade compared to pierce.

I am going to keep this post for when your hero loses 9+ games for the Redskins and you people give him every excuse known to mankind.

I can't wait to say "told you so."

The bottom line is he has not shown jack shit since he came to D.C. We should draft a qb and stop wasting time with a lame duck/chicken.

Alright, under8, i dont want to, and probably shouldnt. But I am going to go the opposite extreme against you.

"If you would really watch some games, you would realize that Patrick will be the next Peyton Manning." He has more talent than Eli, and he now has the experience of being knocked around, and he hasnt showed that he is scared of it. And last year he learned that a qb's shelf life in the nfl if he doesnt impress can be very short. So take that, stuff in your pipe, and smoke it asshole.
