We should sure up the offense with the one good pick that we have in the draft by getting a possession receiver because Campbell will be needing all the help that he can get next year.

I disagree, I don't think we need any more receivers. The offseason will do Jason good to work with what he has. People still don't realize that Campbell, unlike the majority of young QBs now leading their teams, basically jumped from being inactive to starting. In other words, the chemistry he has developed with the receiveres to date, has been on the fly and not necessarily a result of practicing with the first team.

As promising as Jason looks, wait until next year.

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing and I disagree with you

Jason was inactive for game play NOT practice. He actually practiced with the first string when Brunell's arm was cut and he practiced every practice this year, several with the first team.

Chemistry is NOT there when you complete only 3 passes for 27 yard to only 1 wide-out for a entire game and will not cut in the NFL

It's refreshing to hear someone say that instead of getting personal. Welcome to the board!

Prior to starting, he had a total of about 10 practices with the 1st stringers. It takes weeks for a seasoned QB to develop chemistry with a new WR. It could take months for a new QB who is also learning a very complex offensive system. I think we generally have the talent at WR, although I wouldn't mind seeing us take a late-round gamble on a big, possession-type receiver.

I agree, but I come to a different conclusion, which is that the chemistry can exist, but it's going to take some time, even into next year. I don't think we need changes at WR necessarily.

Thanks for the welcome

I think, and I hope that I wrong, that Campbell's abilities surprised some people in his first couple of games but after having actual game tapes of him. The Rams figured something out and put the clamps on our small receivers. THAT is where a intermediate receiver would come into play and I would rather have someone besides our tight end being that receiver.

The Redkins had the perfect receiver mix with "the smurfs" for speed and Art Monk for the 10-20 yard range catches and Clint Didier as a receiving tight end. We already have the tight end and "the smurfs" now we need a big receiver to finish the what can be a good receiver tandem. A good intermediate game will open up our deep passes and I guarantee you that it would make Lloyd a more valuable asset to our passing game also.

I think we should try to resign Darnarian McCants, remember him? He was like 6'5 and used to score a lot of touchdowns for us, what happened to him? He played at a 1AA school, I think it was Delaware State, and he grew like 5 inches while he was in college. So, you know he's the type of guy, like Reed Doughty, who's gonna give you everything he's got because it's a real honor for him to even be on the team. Plus, he wouldn't take up a lot of cap room.

Here he is, he scored 6TDs for the Redskins in 2003. NFL.com - Darnerien McCants

Yes, McCants is doing music and hanging out with Vivica A. Fox so I do not think that catching passes is on his mind right about now but someone his size and way better skills is what we are needing in D.C.
