The Skins Are Really A Very Horrible Bad Team

Agree. Whats interesting is eveyone is talking about the suck for luck sweepstakes, but Carolina, St. Louis, and Minnesota are in there own race to get Justin Blackmon. The guy is gonna be a stud and maybe the 2nd best overall prospect just behind Luck.

My bad i had this in the wrong thread.

Kyle S: “Daddy why can’t we win a game”

Daddy S: “Cause I’m a washed up old coach, and I’ve built a pile of crap for a team”.

Kyle S: “Daddy what’s a Mormon ,Moron, and MF’er cause the team keeps calling me and my quarterbacks those names and it makes us mad.”

Daddy S: “Beck is the Mormon, you and Beck are the other two, it’l be ok they’re cool nicknames, I get called those all the time too.”

Kyle S: “Daddy did you see what those Cowboys did the Bills, Daddy we didn’t even score on those guys, I’m skeerd ,what are we gona do”

Daddy S: “Shut the hell up and let me think for a minute, and go get me a Diablo samich and a Dr. Pepper and some hush puppies for Mr. Snyder”

Minus the interior lineman, compare and contrast the 9ers vs Skins....one team has only lost one game! I am slowly leaning to the "Shanny is washed up" side.

Look at the 5 year draft history of the two teams and then re-post. The Niners/Redskins comparison is a poor one. Remember, the Niners were expected to win the NFC West last year but Singletary was such a terrible coach they had no chance. There is a HUGE talent gap between the two teams.

Hasselbeck would be better than Brecks, but at the same time, it's ultimately up to him where he wants to go. Tennessee gave him a 6 million dollar contract(on average). We might have had to sweeten the pot and offer substantially more money in order to sway him to come here. We certainly would have had to match the length of the contract(3 years), and that might not be too desirable for an aging QB.

Rex, while certainly responsible for a good deal of the offensive woes on offense, is also being hindered by holes on the offense. One thing in particular is that we can't run in the red zone, so we're forced to pass. That makes the opposing defense's job a helluva lot easier since they don't need to commit resources to the run. We can try to fix this by improving the OL or finding a big target at WR. In fact, we must if we want a offense worth a damn, even with a franchise QB.

Unfortunately swagger and production are two completely different things, and don't always go hand in hand.

Just saying Curmudgeon that Clemens could have been a steady hand for us, maybe just a game manager for us the way Flacco started out.

Gus:

I have seen Clemens play for the Jets in "for real games" not exhibition games against guys who had no chance to make an NFL squad. I don't remember the year; I think it was 07 but it might have been 08 and the game was against the Ravens.

He did not manage the game; he floundered.

If you want to argue that Clemens cannot possibly be ten steps lower on the ladder than either Beck or Grossman, I would probably agree with you.

If you want to assert that he is ten steps higher on the ladder than Grossman or Beck, I have to disagree.

[GusFrerotte]

Not saying either, just saying maybe give the guy a look under center, and hope for a miracle. Odds were way against it, but he might have been better than Beck and Grossman. Never said he would be 10 times better, but maybe barely better, with the emphasis on better. A fraction better is still better, but you are probably right. He sucked for the Jets.

Gus:

Putting John Beck on the roster and under center is exactly what you say the Skins should have done with Clemens: "...give the guy a look under center, and hope for a miracle."

The Skins did exactly what you want them to do only they did it with a different guy who needs a miracle to be successful.

Here's an idea.

Change the name of FedEx Field to "34th Street" and play Kellen Clemens at QB on Christmas Eve against the Vikings and see if a Christmas miracle can happen on 34th St one more time.

It can't hurt...

[SirClintonPortis]

Meh, Clemens didn't do much to distinguish himself. It could be just being green with the playbook, but he'd probably be the one being burnt at the stake if he made the roster over Beck. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

[The Goat]

It was nice to be w/o Landry's nonsense today...he makes our bad team less horrible, if that makes any sense.

p.s. Message me if you're interested in buying tickets to the Patriots or Jets game and if you like being punched in the gut you can have both. I will give you a good deal.

My wife's school does an auction and in the past there were always a lot of Caps tickets up for auction but not much in the way of Skins tickets. Now its completely opposite, no Caps tickets all and about any Skins game you want was available. Looks like nobody wants Skins tickets anymore.

I am a lifelong Redskins fan back to the early 80's when were a Dynasty and one of the model teams in the NFL. The hardest thing for me is once we expected to win, now we expect to blow it or lose it somehow. I am tired of expecting subpar results and subpar decisions.
