Good lord so many people calling into 980 advocating for passing up on a QB.

 

Its like people just don't know anything except mediocrity.

 

How can anyone justify building around Sam effing Howell at this point? I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

Well, I don’t agree with them, but it’s not crazy. A lot can be done with the bounty of picks we could get by trading down. I’m with the crowd that says you have to take a shot at a top rated QB prospect when you have a chance like this. But let’s not pretend it’s not a gamble, the odds of hitting on even the #2 pick at QB are less than 50/50.

I didn't make the video just posted it here.  

Of course. My apologies, meant no reflection on you personally. I appreciate all of the information you’ve been posting! This is a hugely important decision for our beloved franchise, so the more information the better.

You in the Daniel's or William's camp? 

I’m still deciding 😁 and enjoying all the bickering back-and-forth. Appreciate this, and all the videos you and others are posting! I am leaning May, but those can’t be his best 5 throws.

Bit of a letdown. The very first pass though accurate was a wobbly duck. Another was an up for grabs floater while he was being hit that Josh Downs made a great play on. Hard to believe either would rank as one of his top five throws.

Realize we wouldn’t know or care about JW if we didn’t go through the rebrand, but…Major Tuddy and the C name are both pathetic. Embarrassingly bad. Can’t just pin that all on Snyder. I personally trust Harris and company to make the right move here, but also I totally understand those who want him out asap. Can’t wait for free agency to start so we can have something more interesting to argue about!

End the name change tangent. 😑

My apologies Jumbo, I think it was me that started it. I do realize talk of going back to the original name is verboten, but was unclear whether that extends to all name change talk. I won’t do it again. 

Would it be OK for someone to start a separate stadium thread about it? With the caveat of no R——— talk, just commanders versus a new name that is more popular with the fans. There are plenty of us that have accepted the fact that the old name isn’t coming back, but still would like to see Snyder’s name go away. Let me know, and I will make sure to follow your guidance moving forward.

Understand that they’ve had bigger fish to fry lately, but I wonder if the owners will say something about a name change now that the hiring of coaches is complete. Since theoretically they will not be meddling in the coaching/GM decisions, there should be plenty of time to at least address the issue and let people know where they stand. Will be interesting to see if they do, because I am getting the feeling that they’re hoping to ignore it until it goes away.

So basically as his QB got good, the OL suddenly stopped sucking. Funny how that works.

 

Giants OL looked a lot worse than it was similar to ours because their QBs sucked. But they were also absolutely ravaged by injuries last year.

15th, 9th, and then 2nd…when did they “suck”?? Not saying QB improvement didn’t matter, but seems to me he took them from mediocre, to good, to great in three years.

Some of you are still talking about Ben Johnson?  Why?  He's a non-factor at this point, move on...

Because we want to make sure his lack of professionalism is not seen as a stain on our new regime’s reputation.

Backwards hat. 😭

To each his own. I like the backwards hat and hope he sports it during the games. He’s there to coach football not conform to somebody’s fashion whims. 

1. Kingsbury 

2. Kelly

Both of these guys fit the mold of an innovative offensive mastermind that everybody is looking for to work with our new QB. It’s like getting a Ben Johnson or Slowick, but with more seasoning. Both were elevated a little too quickly, straight to the head coach position for their first taste of coaching in the NFL. Predictably, there was some adjusting that had to happen. But with that experience under their belt, either one should be even better now at their specialty, which is cooking up a high powered offense. And they don’t have to worry about the rest of the crap that a HC deals with on a daily basis. I do believe either one is an excellent fit to go with Quinn. 

These comparisons to Riveraare a waste of time. We have no idea how Rivera would have done with a good GM and no Snyder. I’m good with Quinn, he seems solid. If not, we can switch coaches again in a couple years. That’s life in the NFL.

We should just be thankful we got Adam peters. If we also nail the QB draft pick, the coach won’t matter so much. The coach was always the least important of the three to get right.

This needs to be stickied:

 

Vrabel will not be interviewed by Peters. Vrabel and Titans GM Ron Carthon butted heads. Carthon and Peters are boys from their days together with the 49ers. The well is poisoned.

 

Please a mod sticky this or something lolol

I hope that’s not the case. If so, it would be a very petty reason not to at least interview the guy.

Long-suffering Os/skins fan here as well… Does anybody have a link to this news?

I know this is off topic. Please forgive me mods. But reports are the Orioles have been sold. What a year for long suffering Redskins and O's fan. We do exist.

 

Anyway. Im intrigued about Anthony Weaver. As long as as he has a plan for OC. 

Please be true !

This thread has convinced me that we need a new head coach who's name supports d*** jokes, or else all of our talents are going to waste

I’m still available 😎

I know we have the picks and the salary cap space, but is it fair to say Seattle has better personnel right now at every single position on offense (except maybe right guard)?

Can someone summarize for those of us at work?  Two pages of reading and I'm confused still 😂😂

Sure I can sum it up… There are rumors that Seattle wants Ben Johnson, and will try to close the deal tonight, so we are all freaking out.

What message do you think Ben Johnson's agent wants out there?

That both teams want his client. Which is exactly what has leaked out there, conveniently.

Assuming Seattle comes hard after him, then Johnson and his agent know he is the first choice for both teams. He’s not going to sign a take it or leave it offer without talking to us first. If he does, he needs to find a new agent.

I mean you did have QBs who had mobility like Young, Favre, Elway, etc. But like I said their mobility was a bonus and was used primarily to create more throwing opportunities. They weren't overly reliant on it to the point where if they didn't have it, their passing game would fall apart.

And Elway lost several Super Bowls, before finally winning a couple late in his career on the back of a good defense and running game. You can go all the way back to Fran Tarkenton if you want, running quarterbacks win a lot of games just not the Super Bowl.

I wouldn't hate having a Lamar Jackson as my QB, but we'd be battling history. QBs that are that reliant on their mobility to open up the rest of their game just don't have that much sustained success and tend to struggle big time in the playoffs against good Ds/coaches that can take a lot of that away.

 

I wanna win Super Bowls and typically Super Bowls are won by primarily passing QBs, although having mobility to create is a great bonus(see Mahomes but also guys like Rodgers and Wilson).

True. In this era of running QBs, the best of them—Lamar, Hurts, Josh Allen, Fields, Kyler Murray—have no titles. You can go back 20 years and not find a running quarterback who won the Super Bowl. Maybe Russell Wilson, but I think even he was more of a passer.

This is why nobody wants to share info here. Replies like this...  I'll be back with the official announcement be well. 

 

Have a good day! HTTR HTTC

That is fair but keep in mind the last time somebody on here kept insisting a deal was done before it officially was, he was claiming Bezos would be the new owner. I think people are just trying to figure out whether you are sharing info as you say or just stating your opinion. Either way, thank you for sharing and I certainly hope you’re right!

Appreciate the thread, Ron does not deserve all the piling on that’s happening. Any coach or exec working for Dan Snyder was doomed from the start. They all deserve the benefit of the doubt because none of them are nearly as bad as the Snyder dysfunction made them look on the way out. Obviously he was in way over his head as a GM, but I still think he can be a good coach in the right situation. That being said, I’m so glad we are upgrading!
