Snyder will continue to be a YES MAN for this FO, and why not? - they just pulled off a major deal and this franchise's future is VERY bright
I am not a Snyder fan at all but you know that he sees that as long as he doesn't get involved AT ALL, the franchise has a chance to be great
THIS FRANCHISE WITH BRUCE & MIKE IN CHARGE IS BOUND FOR GLORY

I live in DC. And, the city is already energized about RG3. I think it's safe to say that there would be some dissapointment here if we wind up with Luck. If someone said that 6 months ago, you'd call them a liar.
What a difference a year makes. But, keep in mind, there's nothing happening but media speculation right now. The media does this every year before the draft. They throw stories out there that are totally wrong.
Last year, people were saying that Cam Newton could fall to the mid-late first round. There were people who thought Jake Locker wouldn't even go round 1.
Andrew Luck is going to be the #1 pick. He's scheduled to visit Indy while RG3 isn't. The Colts have nothing to gain by playing coy with this pick. They have the #1 pick and just got rid of Peyton Manning. They are taking a QB, and I doubt they are going to give up the chance to draft Luck. The general consensus among NFL scouts is that Luck has the higher floor, and RG3 has the higher ceiling. If you're the GM of the Colts, you don't start your tenure by passing on Luck. Bruce Arians is the OC there, and coming from Pittsburgh, you'd think that Luck fits more of what he's going to try to do. |

Can't argue with any of that.
At the end of the day free agency has gone quiet, the draft is still basically a month away and they have to fill their pages with something.
Good Luck to the Colts and good Griff to the Redskins!

Lmfao we don't know his involvement nor the lack of. We do see better signings in free agency every year and better draft moves/ choices, dc is warming up at the very.least. facts? like any opinion on a board is a fact? Or hear say no matter if it be first or second hand is? Come on now, lighten up will ya? |
No. I never questioned Danny's desire. That is clear.
I disagree that we lack an OL. We lack depth and 2 quality starters. An OL is only as good as it's weakest member. A good QB does make an OL better, but this QB is a rookie who will need time to adjust to the speed of the game. Remember Peyton even threw 28 INTs in his first season.
The skins contract offer was Garcon's best offer. As someone said, money talks. This, however, is irrelevant to my prior discussions since monetary contracts aren't at issue because we were looking at rookie QBs whose salaries are really negotiable. Oh, and the Browns is a proven graveyard for WRs.
As far as Danny's involvement, my prior posts were from people with first hand knowledge, so I would put that more in the "know" category than the "we don't know" one.
But you are correct, I do need to lighten up. I do believe I am being too critical. However, I will continue to be upset until we address our OL. |

 man... And I hear ya on all your points I just think you are exaggerating a good bit to remain unhappy w Snyder and what we are becoming.
As far as the o line goes I'm in the minority here, but I don't think we are far off at all. I think Trent displayed moments of greatness *see puke game shutting down one of the best pass rushers in the league, and everyone else made strides as starters baring all the injuries. Chester I think will improve this season as well as Brown and Cory so long as they get and stay healthy. All of our back ups settled down into a pretty good bunch. If you look at it realistically we had a great run game the last quarter of the year w nearly all back ups. Cook - although a unm alumni- being the weakest link. Every team can use better oline play or can't afford everyone they have. With a mobile qb that makes faster decisions is aware of Pocket pressure and when it collapses who has the speed and agility to extend the play our oline will be much much better then last year. It's a given.statues in the backfield will hurt the olines performance- not because they are awful but because the qb is. If all we do is add a guard and a back up we did a lot. I for one am fine w what we have but wouldn't mind the Baylor center if he is available.

This article is dated 23 February, so someone may have posted it on our boards around then. I had not heard that Jim tried to recruit RGIII to Stanford.
Jim Harbaugh's take on RGIII
| Quote: | Harbaugh not only has extensive personal experience with Luck, the biggest headline name in this year's draft, he can even knowledgeably opine about the second-biggest name: Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, the Heisman winner who Harbaugh recruited but didn't land on behalf of Stanford. Harbaugh isn't quite as effusive about RG3, but it's close.
"I know a lot about Robert,'' Harbaugh said. "Robert was a 4.0 student, great parents, came from a great home, and he's had great success at Baylor. Past performance usually indicates future success and he's had nothing but a history of success. So you would predict great achievements in the future.
"I was really fond of Robert through the recruiting process and he made that decision. He makes good decisions, he makes cool decisions. He's very conscientious in everything he does, and I respected his decision and wished him well.'' |
