Like I said, I don't give a damn about Albert Haynesworth and what he does, but I want him off this team. Nothing good will come out of him being on the roster. And I'm sick of this "oh Shanahan is setting and example and changing the culture of the team" blah blah blah crap.

I suggest you review Shanny's (and pat bowlen's history) in regards to another disgruntled/lazy DT by the name of Daryl Gardener


DT was a disappointment last year - NFL - ESPN

'Non-football illness' will keep DT out - NFL - ESPN

Contrary to belief, the man knows what he's doing.

Well this would be great if the team had consecutive years of being 10-6, appearing in the playoffs, and being 5-6 years from winning back-to-back Super Bowls. As someone mentions, winning cures everything. He's not winning and the team doesn't need this drama.

Personally, I am more concerned about this team winning, than Albert Haynesworth learning a lesson. Personally, I think it is a bit naive for someone to be so concerned that this guy "learns his lesson" and "never plays for another NFL team again". This team has bigger problems than Albert Haynesworth, and keeping him around just adds another problem in my opinion.

Vinny Cerrato, who had a hand in destroying this team and brought Haynesworth to the team, is out there serving as an analyst and consulting with college teams. Do I give a damn about that? No, because he is gone and is no longer a problem. If he becomes the GM for another team, I really don't care because it would be worst for them. I'm just glad that he is gone and is no longer a problem for the Redskins.

He's doing a heck of a job for what he has to work with (minus the McNabb trade). Lets be honest, he was handed a shit team with more holes than a block of swiss cheese. I didn't expect winning till about his 3rd season.

I don't think it's about him "learning a lesson". Guys like that don't learn to be honest with you (neither did Darryl Gardner). I think it's more about setting the precedence so others will know what to expect if/when they so choose to go that route.

Gibbs had a ton to do with why this team is shit as well. Horrible draft picks, pissing away draft picks for vets and signing huge contracts that end up huge busts. Gibbs should have stayed in NASCAR, but Danny boy knew exactly how to get the Skins nation fired back up so they would continue shelling out the dough.

I disagree with everything you have to say in this post.

And the reason is?? At least have some points if you disagree (which you are more than welcome to)

You're missing my point, which is, a winning headcoach can do whatever the hell he wants. Hence Shanahan doing whatever the hell he wanted in Denver, including doing what he did with Gardner. Shanahan has not won anything, except 6 games, with the Redskins. He was handed a shit offense and a pretty good defense, thanks to his changes we have a shit offense and defense. I know he has a lot of challenges to overcome, but he has made some gaffes this season. And personally I wish he would focus on those gaffes a little more than having to worry about some POS that shouldn't be on this team.

The problem with Haynesworth is that we SIGNED a guy like Haynesworth. You know an easier way for Shanahan to deal with this situation? Don't sign headcases to your team, period.

But we're not talking about Gibbs. We're talking about someone (Cerrato) who hurt this franchise more than Haynesworth. And someone who is pretty much responsible for bringing in Haynesworth to the team (who you're complaining SO much about).

Once again, fans like you need to get over Albert Haynesworth. Look what Pittsburgh did to Santonio Holmes and what New England did to Randy Moss, they got rid of them when they became a problem. And the Redskins need to follow suit with this situation.

I think we are in total agreement here. I knew this was going to be Stubblefield 2.0 the moment we signed him. Hell, Stubblefield gave us more than he did.

I know Cerrato is very responsible for the mess we are in, but so is Gibbs and Snyder. Gibbs was in control of this franchise for 4 years and pissed away good draft picks for the likes of Brunell, Lloyd, Duckett, Campbell and not even counting the horrible cap issues that were caused by the lame contracts they give to archuletta, brunell, and others. You act as if Cerrato is the sole reason for this, but it's not. In fact, I'm still not convinced a good portion of this crap is from Snyder pulling a jerry jones with Cerrato being the fall guy.

Not sure what you mean by "get over Albert". I can't stand the idiot, and never wanted the fool on this team to begin with. However, I understand exactly what our coach is doing and the precedence he's making. You can't use the New England/Pittsburgh situations to compare this. Patriots got Moss for a 4th rounder and traded him three years later for a 3rd rounder. The Steelers got a 5th rounder for a guy who was a complete headcase and was looking at a 4 game suspension to boot. Much of it still boils down to that $21 million dollar check he accepted.

If we can get value for Haynesworth, then by all means lets do it. However, nobody is willing to give shit for this toolbag and can you blame them?

Not if it is going to be a circus all over again. I'm sure if you ask any Redskins player, they'd want Haynesworth gone just to get away from all this circus. People say that Snyder's law suit brings bad publicity to the team, well having Haynesworth on the roster is bad publicity.

Also, New England and Pittsburgh got rid of their problem children while they still had value and before the situation got worst.
