We also had a hall of fame cast all around them including our coach. We had an absolutely amazing defensive line, and an incredible secondary to go with it. The fact that the Skins of the 80's had success with "cast off" qb's has zilch to do with Kirk Cousins and the Redskins of today.
Edit: i am not taking anything away from what Gruden might accomplish or the direction we might be headed in, but to say what happened 25 years ago means we can turn the trick today with Cousins is silly.
Edit 2: in what world was Sonny a back up qb? He was a starter when we got him from Philly, and won pro bowls. He is one of the greatest in Redskin history.

His idea of backup seems to be someone who did not start every game they ever dressed for. So I guess Steve Young and Aaron Rodgers are backups?

Wow....we're comparing backup QB strategy's from 42 years ago to today.
Thats not very irrefutable.

Re: Cousins Open to Trade.

JC could have played in one system his entire life and it wouldn't have made a difference.

Well I would agree with you on that to a point. But had he had the chance to stay in Saunders offense, he would've have been a solid, middle of the pack starting QB that you can win with.

Has JC, in his defence, ever had a decent line to stand behind?

Thing I remember about JC that drove me crazy was his pocket presence. Always that deer in the headlights look. Always rattled. Not that he had great protection, or weapons, but he always lacked confidence imo.

Well, according to Bleacher Report in July of 2011, Jason Campbell was the next great Raiders QB. Really makes you wonder why BR isn't the go-to for anyone wanting quality NFL analysis.

I'd guess that about 5 or 6 years down the line Bleacher Report will actually be viewed as a pretty viable sports news site. At least up until a couple years ago it was basically a bunch of above average message board members, English undergrads, and young journalists trying to get experience. It still seems to have a healthy amount of virtual unknowns but they've also mixed in a decent amount of experienced sports writers.

For example looking at the front page you got an informative article from Matt Bowen who's credited as their NFL lead writer on Cover 3 defenses.

NFL 101: Introducing the Basics of Cover 3 | Bleacher Report

Just browsing a couple other articles you also got guys that have written for USA Today, SI.com, Yahoo Sports so its not nearly as many keyboard warriors as it use to be. And honestly I'm not against the younger guys having a platform, after all they need to get experience somehow. Provided of course that they're actually aspiring journalist, or at least really damn good blog writters. Of course the Jason Campbell article you linked to was written by a game named RaiderusMax so I guess we shouldn't be surprised how it looks in hindsight.

Honestly my main problem with the site these days is the lists. I'm not against list, in fact I tend to like them, but Bleacher Report just goes CRAZY with them.

Reviewing NFL Offseason Moves We've Loved, Hated so Far | Bleacher Report

Unsigned NFL Free Agents Who Can Help a Super Bowl Contender in 2014 | Bleacher Report

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

There was a time, at least around here, where anyone who linked to a PFT site was pretty much guaranteed to be ridiculed. Now even though its not really too many peoples #1 preference the articles, for the most part, aren't viewed with nearly as much skepticism as when they first burst onto the scene. So I guess its not to crazy to picture a day where Bleacher Report is viewed at least with similar esteem to that of PFT.

The title alone is enough to make me laugh. I dont think I could stomach reading the article. Lol
