According to the poll, the FO has now made 73% of us seriously happy. That is pretty d*** amazing. My Our FO, Dan and Vinny, deserve a nod as the most creative, and exciting FO in the league. I am not saying that they are perfect, but absolutely they try to bring players here who make our team better. Maybe it works, maybe not. But would you really have a FO like Detroit, Philly, Dallas, or Tampa Bay???

to all the FO personnel, wherever you are.

Philly does a solid job personnel-wise. They do a good job in the draft for the most part and understand the importance of the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. I can't stand the Eagles or their fans, but there's no question they have fielded a playoff caliber team for about a decade.

That is true, but they have rarely gone for that one special guy, or the spark factor. (except for TO, but maybe that is why they don't). I really was praising our FO for making the all-out effort and diligence to get what the team seems to need. Philly's does field good teams, but I give alot of that credit to Reid for using what he is given to its best potential.
Having said that they did get Samuels last year, and TO, so maybe I just don't like Philly.

I agree. With all the bashing the FO gets, I think they've done an amazing job thusfar.

Funny, Yahoo.com has us as a Day 1 Loser as far as FA's go. Not to mention they also throw us under the bus for the whole layoffs thing. Plenty of teams have been laying off employees, and all of those teams are operating under the same salary cap that we are, yet we're taking the most heat for it.

Again, the argument about the layoffs is weak. For one thing we're talking about different business units. For another, the players are revenue drivers. Camera Operator #3 for Redskins TV isn't bringing fans to the stands driving up revenue and he's not likely to help us get an extra win or two that can put us in the playoffs and maybe add an extra homegame or two...bringing more fans to the stands and creating more revenue.

Here in lies the problem....everyone wants the Skins to have a young talented team which means pulling from the draft over several years and keeping those draft picks. Our record before last year in regards to the draft was abismal. We pick 8 and keep 1 to 3 players. If we had the talent scouts to be able to pick decent college players then we could do that. Unfortunatly we don't.

So then what other way do you get talent? You look for middle of their career FA's. They have already shown they can play, the speed of the game has slowed down for them and they still have some years left.

Last year I was kinda excited to see us pick up Taylor. Only cause we really had no talent there. Daniels went down with his knee injury and that left no real good talent for DE. We had Eratic James who we never used? why? I don't know. It was just crappy luck Taylor ended up with an injury. Now if Haynesworth can stay healthy then we should have a very disruptive defensive line. If not then we are the laughing stock again and everyone will bash the FO. We will start hearing the I told you so's.

I know our FO is a lot and i mean a lot better then other FO's though.

I can't figure out what the Eagles are trying to do? McNoodle has said he wants talented WR. They ignore TJ cause he wants money and trade their CB and S? I think the only thing the Eagles can field is good OL and DL.

Giants sound like they are trying to keep status quo. Perhaps they will pick up a replacement WR for Buress in the draft.

Dallas seems to be trading talent like the Eagles? I can't figure out why. Their best CB for a second hand QB Kitna? LOL.
