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

44 goes -- you have to admit you got owned here. You're not going to admit it, but clearly the McNabb thing was different as above.

Regardless, I think we get your general point in that big FA moves don't always pan out, but at least we didn't set the franchise back a few picks. I personally think positions like WR or CB should translate on a different team. Most other positions may or may not pan out with different schemes, etc. I suspect DJax will be good if he stays healthy and RG3 can deliver the ball.
