How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

I actually agree with this. I wouldn't cut them, I would let them play out their contracts and see if they ever live up to being a 2nd round draft pick. I don't care if it's year 4, teams can't be in the business of throwing away draft picks like that.

For the record: I think we'll see improvement from each of these two this year.

They need to produce this season. The reason is that if they don't, pressure will start to mount from the fans to send Vinny down the road. It goes to Vinny before it goes to Zorn. The press likes Zorn but they think Vinny is a d-bag and a stooge. He willl not survive if these two both blow up on the pad, as it were.

The press doesnt own the redskins - daniel snyder does. The only person Cerrato and Zorn really need to please is him.

Perhaps. But, I think Vinny should be held accountable for these picks. Those three 2nd rounders represent the best accumulation of picks the Skins have had or will likely have for some time. Those picks could have made a huge difference. If he is seen to have ****ed the dog at that critical moment, he is going out.

If we are supppossed to sit around for the entire lengths of these contracts making excuses and saying, "This week will be the week...blah, blah, blah..." then count me out. I expect each to catch at least 40 passes THIS SEASON.

You can't play in the man's game. You can't catch them. Go home and tell your wife your troubles. Because only one thing counts in this life. Get open and catch passes for First Downs and Touchdowns. You hear me you ****ing faggots. A, B, C. Always Be Catching. Always Be Catching.

40 catches each huh? And how many for Moss, Randle El, and Cooley?

You worried they can't catch 40 passes? Have I set the bar too high? Are you worried they can't get on the field ahead of Moss and Randle-El? Then why did we draft them? Hell they can't get on the field ahead of Thrash.

And sorry about the language I was paraphrasing a character from a film. I figured that if Alec Baldwin can say it, it must be okay.

I don't know the actual numbers but how often do the #3 and #4 receivers each get 40 catches. (I'm working under the assumption that Moss and Cooley are essentially 1 and 2)

Nice Glengarry Glen Ross reference. Alec Baldwin is still the man.
