I agree here. But in today's NFL a team can have a one year turn around. With some better coaching, add a explosive proven wr, better teams play, some luck in the draft and an improved Griffin, wouldn't you say we could win the East? I think that's not a far off assumption.

Redskins can't get stacked. The moment we sign a name everyone screams 2000. Vinny Cerratto, and the entire nine. How many troubled players have the Patriots signed. Hasn't slowed them down one bit. You need talent to win in the NFL not character, Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys proved that.

I didn't even mention character. I simply said I don't like the move at this exact time, not that I don't like Jackson or his abilities. It's the same thing I said with the RGIII trade, I questioned the move at a time we desperately needed talent on the team. We still need a lot of talent. This is a 3-13 team.

This isn't the management that brought in Sanders/Archuleta etc. Jackson is not 33 and done. We didn't trade a pick to a division rival for a used up qb. Heck we don't even know if we overpaid him yet.

It is an opportunity to bring in a playmaker, a dynamic returner, a competent 2nd WR to compliment Garcon and Roberts. Maybe the organization makes a solid effort to bring him in and pays an appropriate price to seal the deal.

Lets let this FO have a reasonable time before we condemn them for sins of redskins past.

Exactly..some people can't get beyond the past. Jackson upgrades a spot in desparate need of an upgrade. It also allows us flexibility in the draft (especially at #34) since we'd be out of the blue chip WR market and can focus on RT, CB and S.

A top 10 playmaker in his prime, fits a specific need, opens things up for everything underneath and the running game. The opportunity to give Griffin another major weapon, you've got to seriously consider it. Adding him instantly moves our skill position group right up near the top of the pack.

This isn't a vinny move, not close.

If you to call out a vinny look at the stupidity going on with the raiders. Vinny Mckenzie, paying premium price for 30+ year old players while let their young talent walk.

Getting d jax would also be a plus in regards to our first draft pick where we could focus on tackle or secondary at 34.

More likely cap/need issues. We have cap we have need. They have less cap, less need at WR

Or he could be the next Fred Davis, missing meetings, questionable work ethic, fighting with your WR coach.
