ScotMc is a beast

[Sharkinva]

Just when you thought, well we know this guy is good.. he adds another level to shrewdness.


The risk with Galette’s contract is clearly mitigated by a short-term deal that doesn’t contain any guaranteed money, per Spotrac. The contract language also has another unique element in the Redskins’ favor: They get the first right of refusal if Galette hits the open market in 2016, perNFL.com's Marc Sessler, meaning Washington can match any offer.



Scot basically made this deal a rent with the option to extend and we can let other teams do all the hard work if we decide to keep him after this season

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Most definitely a shrewd financial contract. No argument with that.

It's a great deal. I thought he didn't touch troubled players? I guess that changed. Hey Shark, guess who is having a good camp so far. Morgan Moses.

Good for him. If he didnt then it would have been a total waste of a 3rd rounder. But truth is if Moses was even half the player you seemed to think he was coming out of school, there would have been no need to take Scherff at 5 this year.

Im just saying.

Shark you totally wrote this guy off at draft time. That was my whole point on why I didn't want Sherff. We had Moses plus we could of drafted Lavel Collins for RT. We passed on Williams who would of taken over for Hatcher b/c we all know Hatcher is as good as gone in 2016.


On the flip side we have great depth at OT and OLB this year. Don't you think we should try to make Smith a 3-4 DE this year? There is no way he sees the field as an 3-4OLb this year.

I wrote him off because I thought he was over rated coming in and you had him rated as a second round talent capable of starting. even with him on roster, Scherff will likely be better. And Williams made it to the 6th pick, kinda hard to justify him as the best player in the draft if 4 teams other than us passed on him.

I think we have a 1 year rental in Galette, and that year gives Smith and Murphy time to actually learn the position.

Yep & it is way too early to start declaring certain young players a success or failure or to even declare the eventual starters. Jeez - haven't some folks learned anything as Redskins fans? The injury situation over the course of the season will also play a major role. It is crazy to say that a certain player will never see time at a position since injuries may dictate a lot of this.

 

[SoCalWizFan]

Can we please stop talking about all of the players that the Redskins didn't acquire & start actually focusing on the players on the roster? There is always going to be that "woulda shoulda" player - let it go already.

Fuck that. I'm still bitter that the Red Sox traded a great prospect named Jeff Bagwell for some random set up man during the stretch run like 20 years ago.

i could care less that we passed on williams . we needed scherf more

Agree & fans really should focus on who is on the roster & stop worrying about other players the team did not draft. Example - Kerrigan. Sure - we could second guess the team & say that perhaps they could have had Watt, but guess what - they didn't draft him & Kerrigan is one of the stars of this team.

If they keep making picks along this line - along with some other solid moves - this team should be in good shape. It is not about building an all star team - it is about being solid all around & having depth.

I'm fully behind Scherff but I am not backing away from my position that you draft the best player, not the one to fill an immediate need. If Scherff turns into Jon Janson, and that would be cool with me, but Williams turns into a dominant All Pro it was a bad pick, period. If they both turn out around the same then it was a good pick.

No problem if you want to analyze it that way. However - for me I will be more concerned that the team is winning & has a minimal amt of holes on both units. I would assume that most folks who were around thought that Beathard was a very good GM. However - he made his fair share of mistakes. Big deal - you are judged by the overall product & not every single move & worrying too much about the past is a waste of time IMO.

Let it go, move on. No one likes I told you so kind of people

LOL. Tell that to Shark when he came at me after the pick turned out to be Scherff. But I had no problem with him doing it, it's what message boards built their business model on. Sharing opinions, arguing those points, then gloating afterwards if you happen to be right.

Now don't take that to mean I'm rooting for Scherff to fail, hardly. But I will be watching Williams closely.

 

[skinsdad62]

i believe that SCHERF is the best player . he might struggle early but as the season goes on he will show that he is

i dont buy and didnt buy that somehow williams was a better player . nor did SM

Oh I know you felt that way about Scherff all along. My point is I'm not sure SM did too, there is no doubt in my mind need played a role in that pick and as I said I think that's a mistake. With an aging and injury riddled Hatcher on the roster I think DE will be a big need in a year or too so Williams may very well have been the better long term pick. But again I happen to think Willams was the better player coming out and I'm hardly alone.

With that said as we all agreed Scherff is a much safer pick not to bust so there is that to consider. They absolutely had to hit on this pick.

?? Even if Hatcher leaves or is ineffective next season the Redskins still have lots of good D lineman on the roster now assuming that Knighton stays w/ the team (a good chance that happens assuming things go well this season IMO). They really would only need to pickup perhaps another decent D lineman which should not be that tough.

Again - I don't believe that this is a matter of ensuring that the Skins picked the better overall player. Rather - it is a matter of making sure that Scherff is a quality player that can contribute & ensuring that the overall team is moving in the rt direction. If Williams still happens to be a better player during that time so what?

So what? We could have had him and we passed to fill an immediate need (IMO). If he turns out to be a monster then yeah it was a mistake, not sure how it can be looked at any other way. And since I wanted him all along why wouldn't I pay attention to his progress?
