I have to admit that the people who post here confuse me more than once in a while.

George is "over the hill" and will "eat up cap space" and isn't worth the time of day. FYI, one reported offer to him is a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum with incentives that might take the contract value up to $1M

On the other hand, Rock Cartwright is a valuable commodity.

Assuming that Cartwright and George will both be "fill-ins" this year - and remember we are only talking about "this year" because it is unlikely that any team will give George a long term deal with a big signing bonus that would have any cap implications - why is Rock the better running back?

Should the Skins sign George? No. They are already well stocked with people who can give Clinton Portis a rest for a series or two a game.

Is George the same back he has been for the past 5 seasons? Not even close.

Is George such a ridiculous signing by an NFL team that they should worry that they will be compared to the Skins for signing Deion or Jeff George? I doubt it.

Just a GUESS, but I THINK he'll wind up in Dallas when all is said and dong.
