Gotta love how such incompetence is able to keep employment at the highest level of sports. Another fine example showing that every business has losers that do not deserve to be employed yet somehow are able to suck their way to the top and stay there. Pro sports are no different than your average company.
This is definitely a good sign.MikeApf said:
This may be cosmetic. Nothing's been signed. No details provided. And when it's signed it may include no additional guaranteed money. And the agreement was made at a late night eating/drinking place very popular with NFL combine attendees.MikeApf said:
I like Kendall Wright in a vacuum, he's a nice enough player, but there are durability concerns, I think he's more of a rotational guy rather than a full-time starter, and he's more quick than fast. The closest comp to D-Jax in the current available market appears to be Kenny Stills. It looks like he's going to be expensive, but probably cheaper than Jackson. I'd be all for it, though, as at this point it looks like he's matured into a commodity. I'm not in favor of re-signing D-Jax, primarily because of his age, and his primary attribute: speed. There are bigger, stronger, quicker, better route-runners with better hands out there, but what D-Jax brings to the table is that unique caliber speed. He's getting to that age where time is going to take it's toll, and I don't think we want to be in the middle of his final contract when he begins losing a step, because when that goes, he's not elite at anything else. That unique speed, which causes defenses to play deeper and creates space and widens seams, appears to be critical to our offense, because everyone else seems to need him out there doing his thing to play at their own maximum efficiency. So while it has to be a player that coordinators/d-backs respect enough to lengthen the field for, the role itself, is critical to getting the most out of our existing personnel and the Gruden offense. I think everyone suffers if we don't have a legitimate guy playing the speed-guy role. I hope we kick the tires on every speed guy on the market in the weeks to come, and if we don't want to pay up for Stills, we somehow get lucky enough to find someone better than a Devery Henderson-type.
This is likely an unpopular opinion but I think Jackson does more for the Skins offense than Garcon does. He expands the area that defenses have to cover; Garcon does not. Garcon's better for the running game but when has Gruden ever wanted to run the ball? And Gruden's back for 2 additional years (not wild about that).
Not sure I said that but it's a good question. I'd guess he thinks Winston is better (as do I) but that he's awful comfortable in Gruden's offense which gets him the ball a lot. So I'd say those 2 things are a wash.
Who knows what is going on, right?
If that's what's happening we've certainly seen that "we're good enough to win now" movie before. Hi Vinnie.
This is the kind of thing that makes it harder and harder to continue being a fan of this team. The fans were so excited when we got this guy. Now they are going to let him be run out of town by a total loser. We are actually approaching last straw territory for me.
I hear ya. It's just not me. The team is bigger than all of them and all of us. There will be hundreds of years. It's my team throughout my existence. For better or worse. All I can do from way out here in the fandomesphere is hope for the best. HAIL!
And while people can say the Skins are dysfunctional, it would be dumb to make an offer to someone that doesn't want to be there, so that makes sense why we've read the Skins have had no contact this offseason. Try to sign DeSean, if they can't for a reasonable deal, pray Doctson turns out, and draft a WR on day two or three.
With Taco Charlton and Quincy Wilson still on the board I'd be pretty pissed if they took Davis there. I will admit that I don't often like taking a WR in the 1st round though.
I tend to agree with your analysis that there could be good defensive players available and I'd like to see us move that way -- and that's even if we let both Jackson and Garcon go. If the Redskins go WR in the first round this year I will scream. Plus: http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2017/03/wmu_wr_corey_davis_a_top_nfl_p.html
We're just so jaded aren't we?
