4) Injuries -
5) Remember, each loss hurts, .

1) for a competent competing NFL team, beck DID NOT LOOK GOOD. he had flashes at the end but overall he showed that he limits an offense and is not an NFL qb. nor is rex or anyone weve had the last 10 years. makes mcnabb and his redskins passing yard setting season last year look pretty good huh?..before he was benched for not calling kyles plays as kyle wanted them called. ..but man we put up yards, points and big plays last year. i think.

2) defense is good. weve played some of the shitty most injured O lines ive ever seen but the D is good enough. not top 5 or 10 but 15ish.

3) shanny isnt going anywhere, unless he walks after next year

4) injuries - almost haf way thru the season we have them

5) losses hurt if you thought this team was 8-8 or better.

this team is improved but we arent going to stop being the skins (good D, pedestrian O) until we get a legit qb . . . year in year out, same crap different year.

Haha.. Sorry, the comment wasn't directed directly at you. Just that to fire Shanahan would be ludicrous. The reason we've sucked for so long is that we install a new coach every 1-2 years. Each coach installs a new system, each coach selects/drafts players that fit the system, and then we fire the coach. That leaves a roster of wasted players who each new coach gets rid of. Wastes a lot of draft/FA and puts the organization back years.

Look at Pittsburgh - they've had 16 coaches in their team history. We've had 7 in the last 10-11 years. Stability is good for the team, and I think Shanny is worth keeping at least 4-5 years, probably more. I like the direction he has us headed in.

We lost today, but that's just one game. Shanny's draft and free agency (minus McNabb), have been excellent. I believe he's revamped our core which should benefit us for years to come. Can't change everything in 1.5 years.

Lol M3420 is getting killed and he wasn't even wanting MS fired

Pretty much my gut* told me that Beck would spark the offense. He delivered...a little late, but he still delivered.

*Same gut told me that Rex Grossman would give life to an offense Donovan McNabb was unable to. I'm 2-for-2!!!!!

lol mcnabb gave us about 10 games of the most exciting explosive offense we have seen from a qb in b&g in 15 plus years (minus todd collins 4 or so games). . . id bet money he had the most 20 yards plus plays per attempt of any qb the past 15 years.

pretty sure if he wasnt pulled he was on pace or near pace to set skins single season passing yards record. . .

I measure explosion by touchdowns, not yards. 14 TDs and 15 INTs in 13 games versus 13 TDs and 13 INT in 8. I'll take the latter.

td/int ratio sounds efficiency . . 20 plus yard plays per attempt sounds like splosion to me. mcnubb had like 24 in 7, 28 in 8, 9 in 2. tonka toys man. u aint on my level

What level is that? Because your level is of comprehension is astounding

If you are really going to argue anything in this thread about Mcnabb being explosive when he was just benched for the 2nd time in 2 years by two different teams for throwing balls in the dirt. Then you are as dumb as you seem while reading your posts.

Mark Sanchez had more 20+ plays than McNabb. But he too had under 20 TDs, and the offense he runs was hardly considered explosive. TDs are a part of "explosion".

I propose we put a moratorium on using the term "high/low football iq." It's being overused way too much today.

Yep.. All Becks fault for this loss.. We need a legit QB to fix these issues. I mean, him throwing the ball into the WR/TE's hands for drops, and throwing 100% accurate back shoulder fade routes to WR who also drop them is totally his fault.

Not to mention that horrendous sense of feeling pressure and running in for a 4 yard touchdown? What was he thinking? My Redskins don't do that... They are much more content on taking the sack there and settling for 3 points.

At least Gano is good.. Totally should of kicked that guy off the team last year. What are we thinking? I mean.. Allowing players to develop into good players? Totally disgusted...

John Beck.. WHAT where you thinking when you threw the ball between two defenders and low where only Fred Davis could of caught it for the touchdown? Come on man.. You have only played 5 quarters and you are our leading rushing in touchdowns for piss sakes!!!

It's totally getting absurd that this team is PACKED with talent and our QB is holding us back from winning..

I mean.. Bradford right now is living the life. He's a great prospect to be a great QB. He has all this talent around him, and it shows!!! WR's catching every ball, and having a healthy backfield that can produce yards to help the passing game!!!

Man.. We are on our way folks.. Just a QB draft away!! I'm so pumped.

[SmootSmack]

doesn't look like the Goodmans are coming. Mo Brown and Campbell are doing a fine job, but Brown is on the short list for some GM jobs

[ethat001]

Whew.. Lot of smack going down all over the place in this thread..

[SirClintonPortis]

Football players' "growth" can be viewed as climbing a sigmoid function curve. and any debate on "where our team is" can be seeing how many points are on a certain section of the curve.
