I'm So Done With...

He's crap as a punt returner, and his contract is way too high. But he plays hard, is a good locker-room guy, runs strong routes, and is an effective slot receiver.

Are we probably better off with him gone and moving forward with Kelly, Thomas, and Mitchell? Perhaps

But he's not a guy I'm anxious to see go just to see him go.

If his contract was more reasonable I think he would have more fans, some just can't get past the contract which isn't his fault in the end anyway. What was he supposed to do turn down the ridiculous offer the team gave him?

My one gripe is just get him off returns already, please Danny Smith!

Yeah, I don't think people are hating on ARE for the hell of it. The contract and his punt returns are the main sticking points. I must say, when given the chance he has shown up in the slot position.

Yeah, Ive heard he is a really great locker room guy which is important. And really it was a toss up between him, Portis and Rogers. I would say the least cut-able at this point is Moss and Laron. I think Laron value would increase in another scheme (which the likelyhood of Blache returning is low at this point). On an offense with no playmakers, Moss is all we have. I actually would rather have Moss in the slot at this point, with a reliable vet WR at his spot and one of the following to step up: Thomas/Kelly/Marko at the other starting position for next season. I think our WR position over the past decade has really lacked. We always have one solid starter, but we can never get two solid guys on the field at the sametime. Moss really catches alot of grief b/c of the overall production of WR, which I think is a little unfair. Rogers is gone reagardless at this point. Portis is showing all the signs of a career winding down.

I voted Clinton Portis. Not on the grounds that I am angry at him because the guy gives 150% but on the grounds that he is holding our offense back. We certainly look better with Betts in there so his non-practice routine is detrimental in terms of our chemistry & execution of our offense cause Betts is practicing it everyday and Portis expects to execute it on Sundays.

Also, it is not good for team cohesion to train and practice all week while one or 2 superstars sit and drink koolaid and then come in and start ahead of those that have busted their butts off during the week. I bet those o-linemen resent that fact that Portis doesn't practice his cuts and running lanes with them but gets angry & disses the line on Sunday when things go wrong. I know I would if he did that.

However, the player I'm angry at and would like to see gone is Carlos Rogers. The guy doesn't care. Last year he made similar overtones when he got benched and again last week. He sounds and plays like a quitter. If he wants out, I'm fine with that. I rather settle for a 3rd compensatory pick by letting him go than him sulking around Redskin Park and deliberately giving up on coverage and wasting our great defensive efforts.
