Deep down in our souls tho, we all agree with this post in general. But I do think Smith is better for this team specifically than Cousins.
Not sure I agree.
Smith is a conservative QB for sure, but he is also a very good deep ball QB.
And even if last year was a anomaly, I still disagree with the "can't get a team over the hump" part: let's all remember the Ravens won a SB with Flaco, and the Jags went to the AFC championship with Bortles.

Not saying we're winning a Lombardy this year, but I really like our roster, and I don't think AS is the kind of QB that PREVENTS your team from winning it all.

I agree. It was time to move on from the Cousins situation and the Redskins did what they had to do. They may have got a better QB and paid less money for him.

I'm in wait and see mode w/ Smith. Yeah he does some things better than Cousins but he also is a conservative QB by nature. He has only gone over 4,000 one time in his career which is hard to do in the NFL these days. But he rarely turns the ball over. Smith sort of comes across as a guy who is good enough to stay employed as a starter, but really can't get a team over the hump and that's why two teams have moved on from him.
I agree with this. I ain't saying it's doom and gloom but you have to see the results on the field, until then it's all lip service.

Re: Training Camp 2018

I will always drink the Kool Aid just because when the time comes that we actually do win a Super Bowl again, I know I'm going to want to say I KNEW IT. EAT A BOWL, HATERS.

Re: Training Camp 2018

In all seriousness, this is the deepest roster across all positron groups in a decade or more.

AS is a legit NFL starter.

This team has real potential.

As always, the thing with potential since the beginning of time is realization.

I do believe the buzz, the hopefulness isn't misplaced.

Re: Training Camp 2018

Play of the day: Redskins WR Maurice Harris is making his case for a roster spot

If given the opportunity, Harris would put up the same or surpass Docston's numbers. Harris has great hands, Doc does not.

Re: Training Camp 2018

Doc is making great catches 1V1 ... We saw this last yr with TP. I hope he really is legit but I'm not drinking that Cherry Kool-Aid like last summer....

Re: Training Camp 2018

Yeah 1 v 1s don't mean a whole lot. No pass rush, no safety help over the top or linebackers in zone underneath.

So Doctson's performance isn't telling us anything we don't already know. Doctson can make acrobatic catches, we already knew that. The question is can he get open frequently enough in 11 v 11.

I'm optimistic because Richardson and Reed will both draw more attention. Doc should have some space to work which should allow him to use his hops to his advantage. But that's the key - don't watch 1 v 1s, they don't tell you anything. Watch 11 v 11s and preseason snaps.

Yep, I think Reed could really be in for a huge year . He says he's as healthy as ever. Guice will also take a ton of pressure off
