See this post (#46 this thread) from Dirtbag (no intention of picking on him, I'm just saying I think it was this post or this kind of post that DGreene was referring to):

"If it was up to the people on the forums the Redskins would be made up of former starters from other teams, all with vet min + incentives contracts."

I don't think he meant that literally, but it does hold some truth when you think about it. I'm sure some people would been in favor or signing the likes of Tank Johnson, Chris Henry, Pacman Jones, and now Thurman.

Some people are big on character, some not so much. It all depends on what you value.

I think every is entitled to their opinion. He has been nothing, but a problem.

Odell would only make sense if he was going to succeed Washington or Fletcher here.

As far as a depth veteran goes, we can do so much better, and get a guy with better character.

Most people do not pick up on dirtbag's sarcasm.

Marvin Lewis makes statement about the departure of Odell Thurman. They aren't going to be losing much in this clown that hasn't touched ground on a football field in 2 years.

'No big deal,' Bengals move on without Thurman

When some team pics him up and he goes back to the 100+ tackle season he had 2 yrs ago, every one will wish we jumped on him.....Hes only 25 and he was productive as hell as a starter for the bengals...What happens if Rocky cant come back????? The skins D is screwed...You can never have enough capable backups , especially when they come as cheap as he will

When is definitely the wrong word. You should change that to "if".

There's a really low chance that he's going to come back into the league after two years off and post 100+ tackles.

Skinsfanmania · 05-23-2008, 09:38 AM

only at minimum plus incentives.

redskinsfanatic · 06-02-2008, 08:21 PM

ESPN reported a few hours ago that this guy tested positive again for banned substances.
does'nt that men he's banned from the league now???

MTK · 06-03-2008, 09:29 AM

Shocker.

skinsfan_nn · 06-06-2008, 07:45 PM

The commish is takin care of business! Thurman is done for 2008!

ESPN - League again suspends ex-Bengal LB Thurman, out for 2008 - NFL

Dirtbag59 · 06-07-2008, 03:18 PM

Ok, I guess that means we have to cut him. No big deal (THIS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL), I mean we only signed him to vet min + incentives (THATS LIKE $700 THOUSAND DOLLARZ). But hey at least we took a chance (WE'RE SCREWED). Oh wait.

Well, time to lock this thread...where's Smoot when you need him? LOL.

As talented as this guy is, it would be risky at this point to take a chance on him until he gets cleaned up. Could you imagine having to prepare for a big game and after one night of partying, this guy lets the team down. That changes the dynamics of your defensive scheme, not even to mention the tremendous distraction it would cause for your ballclub. I not apposed to giving people a second chance, but this is different from being a disgruntle player, this is an addiction problem that needs to be addressed to make him a better man, then he can think about playing ball again.

Dirtbag59 · 06-07-2008, 06:42 PM

Man, I didn't really expect the topic of this thread to reach a resolution so quickly. It's kind of funny as with most things to see what people were saying about him before today, and how he should be our next great linebacker, then this happens.

Poor ChickenMonkey couldn't have been more wrong, but I respect the fact that he stood by his opinion so can't really blame him for believing in something. Then again the suggestion that the Redskins D was screwed if we lose Rocky and don't sign Odell might have been a little over the top, as this team is famous for producing overachievers year in and year out.

Trust me theres someone on our roster right now that you're going to like a lot at the end of the year, we just don't know who it is until we play, but my moneys on Matt Sinclair.

Anyway epic win for the people that answered no in the poll.
