Just looking at his numbers, how well he fits with the other pieces we have, and the fact that the Skins got him at a bargain price without giving up any players or picks are enough reasons for most people to conclude that the Skins made a good decision to sign him. Even if he doesn't succeed here for some reason, that won't necessarily mean that the decision to sign him was a bad one.

listened to him go on for 15 mins about how he was the only one saying the d jax signing was bad bc he is small and relies on speed and tends to get injured which takes away his speed element.

the clincher for me turning the dial was when he said "i know a lot of redskins fans think he is going to be great a addition but i just dont see it working out that way .... given my track record and perspective, im right everytime"

turned the dial, came back 15 mins later and he was still repeating his opinion of desean ad nauseum, saying he is just giving an honest and realistic opinion that is based on logic and reason ....

to declare his contrarian opinion has been proven correct before desean has even taken a snap is unreal.

I opposed the DJax signing but not for those lame reasons. DJax was small and relied on speed in Philly but still had 80 catches a year.

Santana Moss has done that for 13 years now.

To me it's a good move because we didn't give up any draft picks, it serves a need and we take away one of the Eagles best players. Had this been a few years ago, the Redskins would've given up picks and given out a bad contract.

There's chance that this blows up in their faces as Jackson will bitch when he doesn't get the ball, or if Griffin struggles. It will be interesting to be how this plays out. I believe there will be some bumps along the way.

tbh, if i played GM i did want the 10 mil to be spent on a Safety and RT bc we already had a lot of cap wrapped in WR and we signed roberts for speed but even i wouldnt declare my opinion right this early on.

he rubbed me the wrong way. ill text him about it.

I think we all wanted a safety, be it Ward, Byrd, Mitchell, etc. but we had just drafted Thomas and Rambo and Gruden probably didnt wanna give up on them. Also, it isn't like we gave DeSean Mike Wallace money. I say the 3 year deal with an option for a 4th was a great deal. Plus, like the Panthers showed, if you get to the QB doesn't matter who your safeties are for the most part.

If Orakpo, Kerrigan, Hatcher, Murphy, and Cofield can get to the QB on a consistent basis, our secondary will get a lot of opportunities to make plays.

To Chris Russell regarding DeSean Jackson: You don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Went to camp this morning, the guys were going kinda light because of the game tomorrow and the long practice yesterday. Still class a experience, got some
Great picks, we got some hot ass chicks for fans, and Brady is a tall lanky douche.

If you have kids, camp is perfect experience for them and your family. Skins go above and beyond for the children which gets overlooked.

Tom Brady is a douche because he's tall and not fat?

Speaking of media types, here's yet another reason for Redskins fans to dislike Mike Wise:

"But, really, shouldn’t there be two or three standard answers when anyone from an NFL team in Washington is asked what they hope to get out of spending time with one from New England?

'Autographs.'

'Selfies with Bill and Tom.'

'The Patriots’ blessing.'

Take a knee, children. Gather at the foot of the masters. This is what a perennially contending, multiple Super Bowl winner looks like. This is how to run an organization."

I would like Mike Wise to take a knee and stop writing drivel about the Skins.

if Mike Wise wants to blow hoody and kraft let'm. I could care less.

He doesnt seem like the type who can sit back and just enjoy the competitive nature of the scrimage and get the chance to be up close with the team you pull for on Sunday. Just seems like a miserable person.

He would if you all would stop reading his shit. More clicks to his garbage means more garbage he's going to put out. Simple supply and demand and you all are creating the demand.

TL: DR- stop clicking

He sounds pretty close to a lock at this point, doubt they would want to risk putting him on the PS.

With DJax and Garcon out, we should get to see Grant for an extended amount tomorrow. Excited about that.
