My point is, in this market, at least the past few years, someone's bound to get overpaid. Did they overpay Archuletta, no doubt. But why not point to the Sean Taylors on our roster too? Here we have an all-pro safety and yet we're definitely getting a lot of bang for our buck.

I think to be fair, for every Archuletta, you have to point out the guys who have stuck around and they're not breaking the bank. I think Snyder will always be a wheeling, dealing type of owner to be honest; it's his style.

Look the reality is that there are still people here who think it's 2000 and we're still signing Bruce Smith. And then there are still people who bitch and moan about we have no "General Manager" but probably couldn't even tell you what they mean by that. They'll say "Well the Pats, Eagles, Bears, Steelers, and Colts all have GMs" Well technically, only the Bears and Eagles have anyone with that title. The rest all have titles similar or identical to Cerrato's VP of Football Operations. Would people feel better if we just changed Cerrato (or even Gibbs') title to General Manager? Just so we can say we have one?

Probably.

Everytime I start to post something about how real football is different from fantasy football and you can't run the team like that, etc, the Redskins sign another WR.

I guess we can take solace in the fact that the owner is slightly less nutty than most of the fans who seem to want to sign anybody they've heard of that also has contract problems.
