Randle EL to the Bears????

[SmootSmack]

The following quote is from an article in today's Chicago Sun-Times:

"Randle El visited the Redskins, while the Bears were compiling a list of other possibilities to fill their need for a return specialist."

That has me thinking that maybe Randle El's concern may not be the money so much in Chicago but what his role will be. Maybe he's upset that they apparently don't see him first and foremost as a primary (or secondary) WR. Of course, now that we have Lloyd this could make the Redskins less appealing to Randle El as well.

Campbell may be the second coming of Joe Montana or Heath Shuler. We don't have a clue. He has yet to fire a regular season NFL pass in anger.

Brunell had some great games this past season. Unfortunately, as the year wore on, the Skins were winning in spite of him, not because of him.

For the season, we ranked 19th in terms of YPG passing with 194/YPG. Most of that yardage was in the first half of the season. In the post season, it was 127/YPG. Upgrading the passing game is essential if the Skins are going to build on what they have going from last year.

some of it was playcalling and not having any receivers with moss and cooley

it wasn't all the qbs fault

I can't recall saying it was all on Brunell. What I have said and stand by is that Brunell's performance declined as the year went on (Exhibit A is the SEA playoff game). Go back and take a look. His performance was not the kind of performance the team needed with that much at stake. I have also said that this is a team game and that by making an upgrade at WR we get an improvement the passing game for less money than an upgrade at QB will cost.

I know brunell started to get bad at the end of the year when he got hurt in the giant game...and he did bad in a few games before that, but i dont think we have big problems at qb. Brunell is good at times and we have campbell (hopefully he'll be ready soon)

maybe he didn't like the bears offense/QB situation or he didn't think a $7mill SB was high enough (i think he wants 10$mill).
