Watson would be better but will be costly. Pay it!

I often see posters wishing that we still had Cousins. You need to understand that Cousins was not going to stay here, no matter what. He went to the University of Minnesota, his and his wife's families are in Minnesota, he indicated that he wanted to be drafted by Minnesota before that year's NFL draft and the Vikings were always cautiously indicating that they wanted him. In that Gruden is right, Washington should have gotten a lot more for him. The only reason he was here for the length of time was because of the Franchise Tag.

From what I have read, the draft doesn't have any real outstanding quarterbacks in it so the outlook for next year's Quarterback is not good.

I hope the WFT renews Sherff. He has been a solid player since he came. Samuel's was a bust signing. He was injured before he signed and stayed injured for most of the season. When he did play, he was useless IMO.

I would love to see Rivera gone but that won't happen this year. I am hoping for next year. I have never been a Rivera fan as you can tell. The only problem is there isn't any better out there right now. Rivera is just another Gruden but is respected more.

I think we should be ready for the same next year. I hope not.

Dear Old fan,

I respectfully disagree on Wilson's skills declining, just look at what he did yesterday. Wilson is a competitor and is in great shape, he's not like the others, I say he probably has another 5 productive years. However I would not give more than our 1st and Payne for him.

I view Pickett, Corral and Howell at the same level, any of them will be a crapshoot maybe it will pan out. I agree on resigning Scherff and also Settle who I think is better than Payne.

We need an ILB badly and a solid safety to complement Curl, Collins is too expensive and limited as a S.

If Rivera doesn't have a better year next year, I would clean house by firing him and his cronies rehire Kyle Smith and have him hire Kevin O'Connell.

Hail Old Fan!!
