Nope! He's better right now, Despite the numbers, Fitz is much worse than your apparent rating vs Newton.

Ok, I'll give that comparison (1980 Ford pick-up) but then that makes Fitz a 1985 Yugo. Given the choice, I'd take the Ford pick-up every time.

No…you like the people you like. There is zero evidence that Newton is better than Fitz today. There is plenty of evidence suggesting the opposite because his old coach doesn’t even give him a second thought.

.... and that is the funny thing about folks watching football. He isn't on the team to play starter CB minutes, he is on the team to play ST starter minutes and is good at what being a gunner. There is a value to that. Remember a guy named Lorenzo Alexander. It took him six or more years to learn to play LBer but he was one hell of a ST player.

Cutting that warrior still bothers me.

It's a big red flag that Rivera has had 2 chances to bring Newton to the Skins and he passed both times. I don't think Newton would be much of an upgrade over Fitz.

I don’t think Newton would be an upgrade at all. To me it gives me more confidence in RR, because he actually won with Newton

I know you are high on AH but every reason you have given was extremely flawed. You claimed he had this amazing connection with Fitz because he had a good year when they are on the same team. The problem is, I showed you he got those stats with Winston. Then you talked about how great he looked in camp but completely dismissed how shitty he was in the games.

Carter isn’t our only returner. Milne is also a returner and technically was more productive in preseason. AH can also return kicks and considering his production may be questionable, he may have to return them to be an asset.

I expect AGG will clear.

Milne may have been safe; however, he may have been kept because he is the most useful in several spots the team is worried about…slot and returner.

AH is the starting slot WR gk. Get used to it. Rumors in camp have been saying him and Fitz have a good connection on the field. Could be the 2nd leading Wr has far as receptions on this team. Why wouldn't a team like Detroit sign AGG? Carter is the returner unless he fumbles multiple punts and kickoff returns. How are we worried about the slot when we have AH and Samuel. The whole reason why Carter made the team was b/c of his return ability. Dax should be inactive every week.

AH may be starting now. He won’t be by the end of the season. Curtis Samuel will end up being the slot and Cam Sims, your boy, will end up outside.

Rumors were early in camp. In games, they were shitty.

Carter may be the returner. He will average about 8 yards per return and fumble four times.

Who is worried about the slot? We have Samuel and Milne. AH has done nothing to warrant your optimism.

RR in his presser said carter showed he can contribute on offense . He also said he could use AH on punt returns but didn’t want to .
And yes dean AH could start in the slot a couple of weeks till Samuel is healthy ( I am not convinced he is )

Someone, on this board smartly insisted that Washington needed to come out of the draft and free agency with 2-3 linebackers. If they get McKinney they would still need another. So how about the "tackling machine" Tyrell Adams? (He's now a free agent-Buffalo released him)
I'll take two for 100 Alex.....
