Cooley - Redskins or no one

You failed! To recognize they didn't work Cooley into the gameplan. He made the most out of his one opportunity.

LOL. I bet Shanny drafts a TE. We need someone behind Davis and Paulsen.

Whoever they put behind Davis and Paulsen, they had better be able to do something on special teams. Seeing as the number three TE gets rated on that aspect more so than the first two.

Lets be honest, when our problem is 3rd stringers, why are we complaining? We arent New England, we just came out of 20 years of mass futility and blatant stupidity from the FO. To assume that we find 42 players who could be starters in year one and win 4 Super Bowls by year 3 is a touch unrealistic for this FO, isnt it?

We need a RT, we need Secondary, but for 20 years, we needed 18 starters and an entire roster of backups...... To go 500....

Since the SB MVP has never been a 3rd string TE, or the fact that the 3rd string TE position has never been discussed as much as it has on this very board, Im going to go with... WTF? Seriously?

I think I live in an alternate dimension where the Redskins won the NFC East last year. Apparently they had 3 wins in the normal one.

All good points my man. The flip-side is Davis is returning from injury and has an otherwise checkered past. Maybe it's just me, but I don't trust Davis to be "there" consistently. And I'm a big fan of Lunch Pale Logan, but my whole point is behind him we basically have nothing for TE. It's a tough sitz to be sure, but adding a quality TE not only gives us security against Davis' injury/suspension concerns, but it also gives us leverage in negotiations with him next year, and he's already shown he's going wherever he gets the biggest paycheck.

For those wringing their hands about our WR corp, I would say TE is yet a bigger concern, behind FS and RT.

But the same logic can be applied to the WR position with the expiring contracts next year (Moss and Morgan), and concerns of Garcon's foot this year.

Throw in that its also possible for a 3rd string TE (whether that be a rookie or Cooley) to never get on the field except special teams and be a decent sized drop from Paul on special teams. We could actually get worse since Paul has shown something there. Hes not the best at catching, but definitely gives it up as a gunner.

I still think we only take a TE if its BPA. Give me a solid RT in the draft, and we can use Polumbus as the number 3 blocking TE for all I care.

I didn't fail to recognize anything. I'm sure the coaches gave Cooley a chance in practice as well in a few games. If he is not performing in practice the coaches will not give him the time on the field. I was one of the guys who thought Cooley still could play but he has proven me wrong. There is a reason no one was knocking at his door when he was sitting at home. I'd love if he could prove me wrong but I don't think it will happen.

As far as I am concerned, anyone with eyes last year saw that Cooley was done. Period. Scheme and "chances" had nothing to do with it. I'm a Cooley fan...but stick a fork in him.

And I thought you knew football Lotus. CC will make All Pro this year! (At something..not sure what.) And as far as those who criticize him for chasing women...I.applaud him for that. Just part of his strenuous workout regiment.

Hey, I know football. It is my unique idea that we should trade RGIII for Tebow. Super Bowl!

Bam! Just like that you restored my faith in you! I have some s*** on ebay I'd like to sell you my friend! Actually I think Ruhskins pretty much nailed it. Personally I think he has something left to offer...I get my eyes checked in 3 weeks...but it's not gonna make or break the team either way.
