From PRINCIPLES, something that most sports fans in general don't have the slightest understanding of.

Mostly because it's about the only place where I can come and expound on my exasperation at this team without getting myself in serious criminal trouble. |

You keep referring to these principles, but don't enumerate them exactly. What specific principles are you applying to the team that us pagans don't recognize? |

thanks for trying to make sense of the posts and your continued presence here - I'm not going to be a part of the circus that you seem so focused on participating in here - there are a number of posters here that will "help" you much better than I can - have fun

Apparently you and I look at opposite things in these types of reports. I look for the NEGATIVES, which Mallet has in every single category. Sorry, but that's not the sort of guy I have ANY interest in spending the #10 pick on.
As I've said before, if we select him he will be like Campbell, a guy I hope fails miserably while we win as a team. |
Ignoring your mental/verbal masturbation I'll simply respond:
I mentioned the negatives by leaving them in white and even commented on them as you yourself noted below by quoting me:

Could become anything from a rich-man's Joe Flacco to a Ryan Leaf. |
I look for the POSITIVES AND THE NEGATIVES and comment on both.

I don't see the glass as half-full OR half-empty. If it's anything less than completely and TOTALLY FULL it may as well be COMPLETELY EMPTY so far as I am concerned. |

| Isn't Mallett going to stay another year in school? Thought he was granted a 6th year of eligibility. I could have him mixed up with someone else though. |

I thought I heard he was coming out, but I'm not sure either |

Cam Newton
Of course it will take a bit of "Luck" to make it happen. If Luck doesn't come out and Newton does, we are hosed. Newton would be gone before we get to pick in that case. Even if he does, we have to hope that someone doesn't jump over us to take Newton.
Still, he's one of a very small number of things that keeps me hanging on during this wretched season. |
... ahem.
I guess Cam's glass is "completely and TOTALLY FULL." So is someone else's if you know what I mean.
Oops ... forgot to ignore. Stay tuned for gymnastic wiggling via the message board.

Not sure Locker is NFL ready either. Take it for what it's worth, but he doesn't have great games against top opponents. |
I think he's NFL-ready in the sense that he has played in a pro-style offense and is coached by Sarkisian, who is known for developing qb's. Does he have things to work on (i.e. accuracy)? Absolutely.
In terms of not having great games against top opponents, part of the problem is that he really has no supporting cast. Washington, as a team, is garbage. |

| Guys, what if.. WHAT IF.. we signed Orton from Denver with Rex backing him up? That way no need to even draft a qb (unless you do it for the future) but at the same time we could use that pick for other needs.. your thoughts? |

buuuuuuuut... how did B Lloyd work on those other teams (as he's a pro-bowler now)? how did ALL those former Skins who are playing good elsewhere worked for us (as some are in the playoffs this year). come on bro, you know a new town is a new beginning and its not like Orton was a bum this year |

I think that you are confusing Mallett with someone else. He was a redshirt junior this past season and still has a year a eligibility. However, it doesn't really matter because he has already announced that he is entering the draft. |

| Well that's that. I'm still hoping for a lineman in the draft if someone is worth drafting at #10. If not, there's got to be someone at another position of need to draft other than QB. |

I don't think that there is a lineman worth taking at #10. There's a lack of elite OL talent in this draft. Plus, we are set going into the season at tackle with Trent at LT and Brown at RT. I don't think that it makes much sense to use a top 10 pick on a guard or a center. Would be nice if Gabbert would fall to us, but I doubt it happens. Maybe we take a receiver? |
