I think people's thing is not putting him up on a pedestal like he is great, but that he is a serviceable player who ALREADY KNOWS out system, and there aren't any other FA CBs out there that we can afford. So maybe he gives us a hometown discount and comes back. I think that is all it is.

Knowing the system isn't a sole reason to keep someone.

Read more carefully. I am saying that the other FA players at his position are no better than he, or are not attainable due to our limited cap. Since he knows our system already, he gets the edge over other similar players. I was not insinuating that is the only reason. Just the one that could tip the scales in his favor if all things are equal.

I understand that, I am saying there are some that say keep Hall just because he knows the system.

So we should not upgrade positions with more talent because they do not know the system? Well RG3 shouldn't have been drafted then cause grossman already knew the system...

The only reason hall would agree to a discount is if no one else wants him. Which could happen.

You do realize that all he was doing was giving a "possible" explanation as to why some would want D Hall back. He never once said that RG3 sucks and Rex is the greatest QB ever.

He was stating that the skins should keep hall because he already knew the system. All I'm saying is that is not a legit reason to keep someone

Nevermind he just cleared it up above. My mistake
