Allen didn't want to give up a 5th round pick for Sproles. Remember that guys. There were actually people on here that agreed with the Skins for not giving up there 5th for Sproles.
How do you know that he didn't? In fact, how do you know what he offered at all?
well that is the half empty version but lets look at the half fool side
DJAX was lucked into? yes but every team in the nfl would have wanted him and HE signed him almost immediately
andre roberts has been a very good 3rd wr and he has stabilized the return game . add to it that his presence gives us some leverage vs garcon and that is a good PU
lavou was over paid , true
hatcher , so far over paid
rak franchising him didnt turn out however we can get him at a much cheaper cost now . plus you should go out on a limb for a core redskin
murphy appears to be a good draft pick and softens the blow if you cant resign rak
grant has turned out to be a find at wr
breeland looks like an answer at CB
tres way fixed the punting issue we have had for a long time
kearse has been a surprise on the d/line
what happens to our secondary if clark isnt on the field ? yeah he is a stopgap
he picked up colt mccoy as well and has worked out well for us
he made the right call on keeping alexander and not drafting an ILB
now this is year one for him in this role . and yes getting his personnel upgraded could be done
but what he did in year one is far from a failure at this point and JR needs to understand you cant fix every issue in one off season
i think we have more depth . i think we are getting more out of some players (paul) and we have a shot at doubling our wins
as for snyder , you are wasting your textual breath
Roberts was signed to be a number 2. Not his fault they signed DJax but he didn't get number 3 money. He has 25 catches (5th best on the team) on 50 targets. Poor percentage. In Washington people are questioning the move.
Grant has 5 catches for the year. All against Jacksonville. I'd hold the praise for the moment.
McGlynn, Potter, re-signing Biggers, re-signing Orakpo at $11 million instead of getting a safety. Free agents have been more negative than positive.
Breeland and Murphy playing in place of Hall and Orakpo is a plus. We'll see about Moses and Long.
The feeling in Washington is the return on money spent is negative.
The cap didnt have anything to do with it. It was before the Jackson signing. I believe we offered a 6th for Sproles. but why would a team take a late 5th when they could come back to us and ask for a early 5th. Doesn't make sense to me unless the Skins declined the offer of a 5th round pick.

It was reported that we had interest in Sproles and were offering a late round pick. Im not inside the front office so I can not show proof.

maybe the skins are drama central and the eagles are contenders with a dynamic offense ?
not everything is about money
It couldn't have been a 5th round pick b/c our 5th round pick was higher than the Eagles. Sproles had no say in the matter it was a trade. Im not going to research and get the exact article but I believe that the Eagles offered a 5th and we offered a 6th. Why wouldn't the Saints give the Skins the option for the 5th round pick to trump the Eagles?
dad, i think you know this. My beef is with Snyder and no one else. When I was young and the Redskins were bad we brought Lombardi here but of course he died after one year but he did change the culture.
Two years later EBW brought George Allen here and started one of the great eras in Redskin history. I am a fan of the Allen family and I know Bruce loves the Redskins. All that said I don't feel Snyder hires people and puts them in position to succeed and if he does hire someone that might be competent he submarines them after a couple of years.
I would be happy if Allen was a success as GM and Gruden as HC and Griffin as QB.
Shanahan made mistakes, Gibbs made mistakes. The only one I would say didn't was Marty but he was only here one year before Snyder couldn't stand it.
If we could only make Bobby Bethard 45 again.
Almost in 100% agreement.....George Allen although the progenitor of one of the great eras in team history, knocked himself from that lofty pedestal when he refused to play Sonny in SB VII. (guess you now know where I came down on the whole "I like Sonny....I like Billy" thing). Bruce I continue to say is miscast as GM. Some here say that we should give him time....he's ONLY had one year!!
Remember when everyone was touting MS as having won 2 SB's? How about the return of J. Gibbs? Or the "boy wonder" S. Spurrier? Each of these men were bought here based on their track record. Are we NOW being asked to forget, or forgo Bruce Allen's 5 year track record in Tampa Bay?
