I am so sick of hearing and reading crap about how Mike Shanahan has not yet drafted a a franchise QB for our Redskins. All I keep hearing is how he should have addressed the QB position in the draft and that we need a franchise quarterback if we want to be contender’s yada yada yada. The path that Mike is on is what he should be doing in my opinion; this is the one main ingredient that has been missing from DC since 1991. He should build the team first and then if a good player should fall to where we draft then we take that player. That is the same as you buying a V8 hemi engine and all you have in your garage is a 1991 Datsun, doesn’t help that you have a big strong engine if the other parts are not there then it doesn’t work. Don’t agree that’s fine, just ask Sam Bradford how it’s going in St Louey, or ask Matt Stafford how great it is working out with Megatron and Best and Suh in Detroit. Joe Flacco came to a Ravens team that was already set and all he had to do was not turn the ball over. Big Ben went to a Steelers team that was already set on offense and defense. Now look at David Carr or Alex Smith players that were drafted onto teams that were not set, how well did their careers go? I applaud what he has done for our Skins so far, he has traded away players for picks when everyone thought he was going to end up cutting them. All of his moves so far have been positive, he got rid of Devin Thomas and when he did DC was up in arms about it. What has he done since he left? He went to a Panthers team that needed receivers and was cut, then he went to NY where they really need receivers and all he is doing is returning kicks. Maybe Mike cannot find a stud QB for us, but he is able to see talent when talent is there. This coming draft we are going to have probably the most picks since, since forever ago. Gone are the days where we trade away picks like I trade away picks on Madden, no more TJ Duckets or Jason Taylors and giving away our future for players that are not going to provide anything to us. Well except for last year when we traded away a couple of picks for McNabb, looking back any team would have made that move. The only reason it looks that bad is because we gave up a 2nd rounder. Mike continue to do what you are doing, build that foundation before you set the roof. In reality I believe that he is building this team for his son. If he was here to win right now then bigger moves would have been made. By building the team he is setting up Kyle for a successful career as a coach and in return he may be able to bring back some glory to DC.
I don't think anyone can say it enough....horrible upper management for the past 15 years or so has not helped....nothing good that a coach that can do can eclipse so many bad mistakes over the years and Skins fan gotta keep that in mind....
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree, I just hate these fans that cannot see what they are doing. vinny has been digging a hole in the ground for 10 plus years and people expect Shanny to crawl out of that hole in a year and a half. SMH at all fake Skins fan.
