Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)
 

just looking at the teams that were in the afc and nfc championship teams over the past few years, it looks like most of those teams DIDN'T have a first round QB that the team drafted. atleast half got to that point with veteran QBs. this further makes me think that whomever we draft in the 1st round, should not be someone we take a gamble on. there are lots of ways to build successful franchises. you dont need to draft a top5 QB to be successful anymore than you need to draft a top5 left tackle or pass rusher. its all about making smart decisions in free agency, keeping your draft picks, and making wise use of the picks you have.

[quote=SmootSmack;676493]No word as of this morning.

I would say that usually when it's the Redskins themselves that tell me "Big news today" it's usually something "big" like "Notre Dame to play at FedEx" or "Snyder sending food to Haiti and Chile" When it's actual big news, I hear it from elsewhere.

I just hope Carter knows how to make good spaghetti[/quote]
so you heard it from elsewhere

So it was the Redskins themselves that told you guys that big news was coming today?

No, heard from the Redskins to expect big news today. Like I said though, it could be the announcement of a charity event or something like that

Also, checked this morning, been told that no trade to the Saints has happened. Wasn't told whether it could, might, would happen.

Q: Did the Redskins trade Andre Carter to the Saints last night

A: No

Q: Are they talking?

A: He's a Redskin

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)
 

I think there's something going on, something more than just some fluff news, but I don't know what it is

[quote=SmootSmack;676550]What was Larry Michael saying?[/quote]

he just said expect big news out of redskins park friday

for all I know it could be silver and blue tackling dummies coming from him

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)
 

Larry is the king of fluff news...he says he has a major announcement coming and then it usually ends up being something like the fields at Redskins Park being watered.

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)
 

Interesting, hadn't heard that Michael said that. I never really listen to him anyway up here

Anyway, whatever I hear I will, of course, let you all know

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)
 

#Redskins confirm that Andre Carter still plays for them, and his Wiki page is corrected. Just what we need, to be chasing Wiki rumors.

[quote=mredskins;676534]Here is what makes me laugh on here at times folks are like the Browns suck, the Raiders suck, the Chief suck, etc... Guess what we suck too! Other NFL cities fans look at us as sucking.

It reminds me of my grandmother when I go to visit her in the old folks home she always whispers to me[I] "bunch old people in here"[/I]. Makes me want to scream you are old too![/quote]

yeah its a hard pill to swallow realizing we are what we are. a bottom 5 or 10 team the past 5 years/decade or so.

i bust on carter for being a one trick pony, but dang, he had a nice season last year, made some plays on his own, switched back and forth from the left to right side when rak came in at DE.

i dont know if i would trade him for a 3rd. i guess we have to though. good player, seems like a great personality in the locker room, takes being in shape and ready to play very seriously, his wife is a super educated sports fitness lady.

it would suck losing a guy of that character.

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)
 

I would def trade him for a 3rd.. nothing against him, you just wonder how much longer he can perform and how so in this scheme..

pacman supposed to workout for a handful of teams
