Disappointing? So you'd rather trade for a guy who can't contribute? Look at Gaffney's stats for the past 3 years, he's a solid contributor and has been the #2 for Denver with Royal and Marshall's regular absences from the field.

Moss, Gaffney, Armstrong, Hankerson

much better than

Moss, Armstrong, Galloway, Roydell Williams (2010)

and also better than

Moss, Randel El, Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly (2009)


Heck, I'd take it over Coles, Gardner, Thrash and Taylor Jacobs too.



This is the best WR group we've had since the Posse. Beyond those first four are solid depth possibilities with Austin, Banks, Paul, Robinson, Stallworth, Kelly...

I'd rather the young guys play, get experience and let them grow. We're not going anywhere this year so why slow the development of young players? Why draft Austin if you're not going to give the guy a chance? And this is not the best wr's since the Posse. No way.

This is the worse logic ive ever heard. I'm sick of hearing about this.. "Letting the young guys develop"

They are going to develop by just being at the game, playing Special Teams, and earning the starting job. Shanahan has already proven that the hardest working, and best will play before the rest. So if Jabar is playing and looking better then the younger guys, then he should play. He's under contract as well. We are here to win football games, and if Jabar gives us the best chance of winning, then i'm all for him starting.

This is not a Madden video game where you think your going to draft 7 players in the draft and play them all in the top of the depth chart. The NFL is about putting the pieces together and winning, and to continue winning. Vets, Rookies, and Journeyman alike.. In all of football, how many teams ahve you seen in the NFL start more then 3-4 rookies? Yeah, there are teams with YOUNGER rosters, but since the Redskins took the FA team approach for so many years we have a ways to go, but why cant we just WIN NOW!? I'm tired of hearing this "Let's continue to build, and develop stuff"

If I was London Fletcher, or Santana Moss and heard you guys saying stuff like this, I would slap you in your cheek like those old duelers did.

And what have we won with Moss and Fletcher? They're great pros, I like them a lot, but it's just time to turn the page.

What did we win with all the free agents that have come and gone over the years. One freakin' playoff game where the defense had to win the game for us. That's a fact, not a opinion.

Shanahan really isn't even the right guy for this job but that's another thread.

OK, I posted some of the WR rotations above...which was better than the current situation?


3 teams in 9 years makes a journeyman?

Andre Carter, congratulations, you're now a journeyman like London Fletcher.
