Former Redskins

[Paintrain]

It seems like almost every time I'm on Warpath recently most of the talk is about people who aren't here anymore.. I know that it's a large part because we don't have much relevant to discuss in May but so that we can focus our attention on the future and not the past, which former Redskins player or coach would you like to declare a moritorium on discussing?
-Smoot
-Pierce
-Bailey
-Coles
-Trotter
-Spurrier

and of course everyone's favorite, Zach Mills

I like discussing these guys. If you don't examine history you're doomed to repeat your mistakes.

I voted 'other'.

I'd like SportsCurmudgeon to stop reminding us about Sultan McCullough and Scott Cloman.

But we don't have any control over 'repeating mistakes'.. The one Redskin who actually left and accomplished something (Super Bowl win that is) is one that nobody ever talks about.. Brad Johnson.. Now that was a loss that not only hurt us at the time, but for the following few years as well..

We may not have control, but we can still become better at analyzing football players by discussing the past players who were mistakes. That should hopefully prepare us to provide even more thoughtful opinions on any other future players that the Redskins decide to sign.

In other words, if we didn't discuss the Deion Sanders signing, how could we ever provide a thoughtful opinion as to why we shouldn't sign Ty Law, for example?

I put in Trotter... NOt hat I see that much of him, but he really did nothing here and we have better linebackers in our system than him anyway...

I vote for Michael Westbrook. Although had he been in camp with Sultan, Sultan might have turned out to be something after Michael punched him in the face.

Is there an option for "All of the Above"?

I voted for Coles..........he's gone, we took a cap hit, but we need to move on........

I like talking about Bailey, and how he's looked like toast in some of Denver's games...good riddance.

And I'm sure Smoot will provide some interesting colorful comments for the Vikings......so we can't nix him....

Pierce was a disappointment with all his loyalty to the Redskins talk, but he provided more loyalty to $$$$......he was a close second with my vote.

But how can any one even consider voting for the GREAT Zach Mills, why if he was on the team talk about your quarterback controversey......you think Ramsey was looking over his shoulder with Campbell, he'd be doing it even more having to compete with Mills...

[diehardskin2982]

zach mills was never a true subject worth putting into focus, so thats my pick

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I hope we don't have to talk about any of them. Unfortunately, unless we win some games, they're ALL going to be the subject of discussion. For me, that's fair enough. If the team wants us to get beyond the guys we've lost, maybe they should win a few games and make us look forward to the future.

[BrudLee]

I'm tired of the frequent emails and PMs rehashing the Oliphant/Byner trade. It's been fifteen years, people!

[BossHog]

None. Unless Smoot comes back to us like in a few years and still has gas left in his tank. Unlikely, but his the only one who has made an impression on the fans.

[Riggo44]

I had to go with Zac.
