Brown would fit fine for Smith and what did I restate? You want to trade away, likely multiple picks, (A practice that always w/o fail bites us dead in the dookie chute every fickin time) for a player who has exposed himself, at least imo, to be a me-first player. Who put his nose in and his opinion on his team mate's contract business and after a couple rough start to the season. Is already butt-hurt enough to start whining and crying about wanting to be traded on twitter. I don't want to trade for that player or have any part of him.
There's that good guy, bad guy bullshit. I need some clarification of what's a bad guy and a good guy. Or your clarification specifically. If you think the Redskins have drafted/signed nothing, but choir boys in the Snyder era.
And you're wrong about Norman. He certainly was a diva-type, spoke his mind, wanted his brand out there player who was also supposed to be a playmaker. At least that's what Scotty Mac thought when he signed Norman. And he ran his mouth from the time he was signed up into last season. After the dropped INTs, shitty at times coverage and in general shoddy tackling from last year. He needed to STFU.
Its not that the Redskins brass is signing good guy players. The players they think their signing to be ballers just ain't ballin
You mentioned the Pats and with or w/o intent. You compared the Redskins to the Patriots bringing them into the conversation. And it kinda did happen overnight. The Pats weren't on anyone radar the year they won their first title and were underdogs to the Rams. For their first 3 Super Bowls they didn't have any diva type players as I recall. I know Brady had a huge game in the SB against Carolina and maybe he had some big playoff games as well, but was he a diva? Was any Pats player a diva during that time? That's when my fav non-Redskins player, Troy Brown was doin his thing.
New England can take chances now because of what they did back then. We need to build up some clout and do it the right way before we can take and hit on those chances. Acquiring Antonio Brown is not that right way.

You're either reading something into what I'm writing or restating for a purpose that I'm not yet aware of. Rather than relitigate previous postings, let me point out one of your restatements in this one. In in you state "You want to trade away, likely multiple picks..." referring to Brown. This is pure fantasy!! What I actually wrote is..."Another player and or a conditional draft pick is as far as I would go." Now that likely won't get Brown here but of course all I ever really said about this in the beginning was that I would reach out to Pittsburg to see what they wanted for him. All of this is in this thread, read it for yourself.

Who ever said anything about a "good guy or bad guy?" Seems to me you're injecting thoughts into what I've written that simply aren't written by me. Weren't we talking about very well defined sports "divas?" We all know what that refers to and no this team haven't drafted only choir boys in the Snyder era, we've either had bad character players who could not ball out, or guys who could play but lacked that edge that comes with being the baddest man on the block. If you don't understand the difference, that's fine, but to infer that Washington at some point in the Snyder era had a player of the pedigree is laughable.
And you're wrong about Norman. He certainly was a diva-type, spoke his mind, wanted his brand out there player who was also supposed to be a playmaker.

I know that you don't think I'm wrong about Norman. In this posting you wrote and I quote..." He certainly was a diva-type..." Excuse me but "diva types" don't have an expiration date. He either is one or as we now agree, was one. Know what that means? He never was!! What we saw of him in Carolina was more likely related to his skirmishes with Beckham because before that he didn't have the reputation that you claim he now has. Beyond that game changers don't bring it during this period of time and play shitty during others. I don't know what some of you see in Norman, but if it's a game changing diva, I suggest that you all look again.

The ONLY comparison of the Pats and this team by me was in giving an example of their differences. I'm not sure what you're reading or worse how you're interpreting what's written. So you think that the Pats first SB team didn't have these types of players huh? I'll give you some deference on the "diva" mantle, but their first SB championship team had plenty of players who could not play in today's soft game. I liken them to legal football killers, and when they called roll, the names were...Willie McGinest, Richard Seymore, Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Ty Law, and Lawyer Milloy. Tom Brady, Troy Brown and Deion Branch formed one of the most dangerous QB/WR threats in the league at the time, who's lives were made much more easy with real nasty's like Matt Light and Damien Woody and Kenyatta Jones up front. Kick and punt returner Kevin Faulk was their version of Brian Mitchell. NO comparison to Mitchell, but a sure fire threat nonetheless. Again, with the exceptions of McGinest, Bruschi, Law, Milloy, Woody, Jones and Branch I agree no real 'Diva type game changers" The others were game changers with a bit less divatude. I've counted at least 7 nasties and on their 2002 team, and added another 6 game changer types, how many of either do we now have or have had in the Snyder era? (hint: zero)

They took chances back then too, in fact they got rid of players who didn't fit the Bellichick mode, were OK in the draft and wise in free agency. The only changes that have taken place since then are mostly associated with age, job opportunities, retirements trades and cuts, you know, basic football operations. We have Snyder and his henchmen, we can shout into the dark universe what they "need" to do, Snyder's been here since 1999, where are there any indications of that sustainable "clout" that you speak of? How do you know that there's one way to build this team into a championship force? Beyond those questions, I'm going to ask you this in all sincerity, how do you know that getting Antonio Brown first or in conjunction with the current build won't do the trick? (of course at my asking price or some similar, albeit limited, inquiry)
