Core of the Redskins problem: Greed

[djdunick]

Drift,

As far as Taylor is concerned. Let's face facts. Race had nothing to do with his current contract. How about blaming his agent and the fact the for the terriffic performer he is on the field he's a basket case off the field and makes bad decisions. Remember how he hired/fired agents? And lest we forget that the current management has a history of bringing in players from the outside and paying them more then draft picks (the few that we have) regardless of color.

The only other factor that I could think of besides playing ability that would factor into the pay level would have nothing to do with black and white, it would have to do with the color green. With Sean Taylors antics on and off the field (spitting @ the Tampa Bay game, personal fouls, arrest on gun charges) I would certainly believe that Archuletta's squeeky clean image is more marketable then Taylor's.


I do agree his level of play has deteriorated. I watched him closely last week against the Giants and on a couple of plays I was used to seeing his 'hit seeking missle' hits and instead he delivered a very soft hit. I'm not sure what his problem is.
