A discussion is the very least we can do for one that's been a fan since was 4 yrs old. Not another AH thread please!!

This thread is ridiculous. Let the team take the field and play an actual game. Predicting these kinds of things is as pointless as guessing lottery numbers. You just don't know until there are actual results. Obviously being confident is one thing and as a Redskins fan I do it yearly. Who doesn't love the optimistic feeling going into a season when the team is still 0-0. Until we see them win or lose the inclination is to think big.

And I don't get the "I have been a Redskins fan since I was 4 years old" Does that make you better than everyone else? I believe the people who tag numbers to things like that are just tooting their own horn.

I know a good Redskins team who I see one too..Put the team on the field..Win games and Bam, there you have it.

"You aint seen nuttin yet" wait until the game day threads start up. I do agree with you about speculation, it's never been a good friend of mine either. However, you must remember, that's what people do on the fan message boards, speculate and predict.

This is so true who cares we all been fans for a long time. The old lady across street from my house has been a fan longer then I have been alive (37 years) but ever time I see her she ask now what is this new QB's name? I keep forgetting.

Length of fanship doesn't constituted knowledge of the team.

Just offering up a little dose of sarcasm in my post about lending a little discussion to one that's been a fan since he was 4 yrs old. I don't know how old he is now, nor does it matter.

Santana Moss is no prize WR...JC had him on so many plays last year that resulted in Moss just dropping the ball or not giving 100% effort even if the ball was off a tad bit. We have decent receivers, nothing more or special...certainly no goto receiver. I hope McNabb and the coaches can get more out of this bunch.

Great post. Hit the nail dead on the head, agree 100%.

Agreed and agreed.

The question is or should be, "on paper" our recievers are better than what team? In our own division, I would have to say we are below NYG, Dallas, and maybe at best a wash w/ Phili. Yes, we're definately lower 1/4 though. But, hey, like someone said you've got to have a QB to evaluate (and a OL) talent. I think we've got a QB now, let's hope the OL holds up this year.

We're clearly last in the division. Look up what Philly did last year with Jackson, Maclin, and Avant. Our group isn't even close right now.

I can't really argue that. They probably are better. They did have a QB though who makes lots of plays and had a decent OL. Jackson is very good, w/ Maclin and Avant coming around. McNabb made all of them better.

This will be an interesting year to see how Moss stacks up w/ Jackson though. Moss could have a great year. Jackson is special though.

The fact that Joey Galloway is starting on this team is horrific. We need Devin Thomas to play out of his mind this year.

Honestly I've given up on Devin Thomas and moved on to Anthony Armstrong. Devin Thomas is just a nice special teams player at this point. Heck I'm more excited about Banks as a reciever then I am Thomas, in spite of my instance that returners focus on returning kicks and punts.

GusFrerotte · 09-07-2010, 09:45 PM

The production from the Wr corp will come from Moss and the newbies(Armstrong and Banks). You can only hope that DT can step it up to become a legit #2, but that may not happen. VJ isn't going to happen, so we will have to draft a guy or acquire a FA Wr next offseason and the next. Our Wr corp is serviceable, but that is the extent of it.
