#1 - It looks like it will be a GREAT trade for the Redskins. Do you really think our D would be decidedly better with Champ??? Remember, we play the Giants twice, and he has NEVER been able to stop their WR's from scoring TD's.
#2 - It is complete folley to say who "won" the trade. NO ONE will know that until the 6 months to 2 years from now. All we can say so far is that it appears to have helped the Redskins, and it "may" have helped Denver. Sure, after a couple failures, they found a back that looks like he may be consistent. Wait to see if anyone gets to 1500 yards and is able to keep the job. a lot of teams to go yet, and you can be sure they are preparing for Droughns' running style, just as they did for Griffin. Don't be so quick to declare him the next TD. Were any of you around for Timmy Smith's record-setting performance in the Super Bowl? He looked fantastic. Mighty short career after that.
#3 - As far as Denver being able to put "anyone" in that backfield, those days are gone. They left with Alex Gibbs. Don't be surprised to see Droughns' production drop dramatically in the next few weeks.
