I have no problem with taking Locker at 10 but I hope that the fans will be very patient as it is very apparent to all the people that know that he needs at least a year before he will be ready to play - this guy has a lot of upside for the future - again ... not saying that Locker would be a bad pick in the first round but nobody with any QB knwledge is saying that Jake will be able to play the first year - everyone agrees that he has a lot of potential given a year of prep work with a good QB coach
I'm fine with that but I don't think that as much as Mike appears to love this guy he's going to throw him into the mix too soon - at least I hope not
NOW - given that Jake is not able to play for a year, do you still take him at 10 - I think not
rebuilding will be painful but we have to do it
that being said I'm not interested in using the 10 pick on T Smith - we just have too much work to do across the board to do that when it looks like better players are available at that spot

Nobody really expects the Redskins to do well and this is primarily due to the way the franchise is managed.
It's not the players or the coaches fault. It's time to clean house & change the losing culture here

You may very well be onto something there.
This possibilty was being discussed on the LaVar and Dukes show today.

As complicated as the offense is, I don't think that we will be seeing any rookie QB play this season except in an emergency.

I kind of hope that the FO has identified a QB that they think might be able to develop into a really good QB and I'm prepared to wait - I'm not sure that QB is going to be our pick at 10
I just don't see them taking Tyron Smith - we really need to hope that there is a player available that we can use to trade down but if we have to use the pick - I just don't see them picking this OT

On 1/5/2010 Armstrong signed a three-year deal, he will be a Restricted Free Agent in 2013
I was talking about his resume of dependability since he was a rook last year.

What a useless piece of propagandist rhetoric that is.

I want to win the Super Bowl this year - I also hope that this FO really looks very hard at how to re-build this franchise with a bunch of young players that can start to develop into a good team
we will need to keep some of the current roster but basically we have needs all over the place and the biggest problem is that we have too many older players and we need to start getting younger players on the field - we cannot continue with the thought process that we can be competitive while we rebuild here
This group made some bad decisions both with players and defensive and offensive schemes - let's make the priority that we are building a team - this group seem to be trying to make the priority that we can be competitive while we rebuild
that aint going to get it done
bring in a bunch of young players - let them grow together and help the few great young players that we have, develop into a great team
I think the one good thing that we saw last year is the change in attitude - all teams have that - now we need more young guys that are hungry and looking for an opportunity
the talent evaluators need to do a much better job and bring in young guys that will help make the good players we already have even better
