I remember dreaming about the quality of back a 3rd round pick COULD have snagged if we shopped around a little bit.

Honestly we could have ended up with a guy that would have been good enough to warrent letting Betts walk.

You gotta love Detroit though, what better way to turn around a franchise than acquiring a bunch of backs who aren't good.

Duckett should have never been headed to Washington.

Good move for him though, he did go to Michigan State. Does this mean that Kevin Jones is on his way out?

Probably the worst move Gibbs 2 has made. Could have used Sellers in the short yardage roll. Simply terrible.

Anyone else get the sense we're going to start seeing years and years of Duckett threads, much the same way that we keep seeing Ramsey threads and LaVar threads and Marty threads and...?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Yup, unless we get that freaking third round pick back!!

Because you KNOW the Broncos will use it on an immediate impact player and we'll get to hear about it for years to come. We need that third round pick back because he could be our next Cooley!

As long as the Washington Redskins make boneheaded personnel decisions, expect to see threads denouncing those decisions on a Washington Redskins fan message board.

We could go 16-0 in each of the next three regular seasons, shut out every opponent in the playoffs and threepeat in the Super Bowl and I'm 100% positive there'd still be threads here of people bitching about the spending spree in 2000. It's just the nature of the beast I suppose that no matter what people will always find something to complain about.

TMC, agree or disagree?

As for Duckett, yeah terrible move but good luck to him in Detroit

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I agree. TOTALLY agree.

It's a constant, "Man! I'm SO WITTY when I talk about Deion Sanders and Bruce Smith." I don't think people realize that was ALMOST A DECADE AGO. Get over it.

DUCKETT TO DETROIT
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that running back T.J. Duckett has agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions.
Duckett will sign a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Lions.
The maneuver gives the Lions three starting-caliber tailbacks -- Duckett, Tatum Bell, and Kevin Jones. We've previously heard that Bell, who was acquired recently from the Broncos as part of the Dre' Bly trade, is a candidate to be traded again.
Duckett did the deal with Detroit after visiting the Seahawks.

One disagreement...KJ is not "starting-caliber", unless you like banged-up RBs who can't hold onto the ball.

Jones won't be ready to play until mid-season anyways and may never be the same again, it's the same injury/surgery that ruined Duce Staley's career.
