Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

2) We gave up zero picks to get him
3) The OC (and HC) strongly advocated going after him

Anytime we get a "big name" player, out comes the "Well there goes Dan Snyder, playing fantasy football again" rants. Simply amazing

3 year old age differences are relevant to who got excited and decided to go get the flashy big name how?
Circumstances of acquisition are relevant to who got excited and decided to go get the flashy big name how?

3) supports my contention that Snyder was over involved in the McNabb deal as well, thanks. Unfortunately the present coaching staff was hired by Snyder leading to two obvious conclusions... that they might not be that great at judging (based on past Snyder hires), and that they might be towing the company line... something that tends to happen around notoriously infantile Billionaires with short man complexes.

I don't see material differences in these moves... just circumstantial ones.
What matters is that in both cases a team (the same team as it turns out) that has a track record of savvy personnel moves no longer wanted the players, and a team with a history of flashy big name moves that fizzle and turn into media circuses DID want them (in both cases as it turns out).

We shall see, I hope we see DeSean burning DB's and turning into a great signing. I expect to see some burnt DB's yes, but also some pouting under adversity, some over focus by the media on him, some ugly stories printed the night before big games... you know the usual...

What the hell does this mean?

No one has argued that Snyder and Allen were the big drivers of the McNabb trade, but we're talking about DeSean. By the way, did you know Dan Snyder is taller than Jack Kent Cooke? (well taller than he was when he was alive)

All I can say here is "Da Fuq?"

I hope DeSean wins the Super Bowl MVP and he and Snyder give a big middle finger at the 50 yard line to all the Redskins fans out there

I especially love the last part of this post.
