BG Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Norv will return to Dallas as head coach of the F'n Cahboy's. Norv could then lure in Davis with the promise of big bucks and big carries while they give Hambrick the boot for having a big mouth. QB guru Norv is able to make Chad Hutchinson look decent adn the Skins fans that foresee such events are left in straight jackets and forced to watch the unsettleing events unfold................oh ****..:cry........help me.............:cuss: : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Like he made Shuler look good? If Norv and Davis want to reunite to form those great 6-10 teams they had together here, more power to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggoDrill Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Well, if Norv instilled the same focus on Defense and Special teams that he had in DC, I'd cheer the move. Please, Santa. Please let us beat Dallas at home for Emmitt and Darrell's last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems everything that doesn't work here works elsewhere Skins 57 That's exactly what I'm talking about. He brought Brad Johnson in, made a few late rounders look great, but aside from Shuler(which shouldn't count because most of you all were crying for us to draft him) he made everyone look decent on offense. Yes I am still bitter about his departure. Hiring Marty--stupid. Firing Marty after one season---idiotic. Hiring Steve Spurrier--retarded Next Episode, me-with a gun to my head priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Thing is, if Norv gets a new HC job since it ain't in Washington, he'll probably do good. Since St. Joe left, seems we've been cursed. I mean, how many good players have we signed that then turned around and s*cked while guys we let go, went on to at least solid players?

redskin56 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Norv could not motivate his teams in Washington to rise to the occasiona and play SMART and FUNDAMENTAL football. That being said, I still think that Norv is the best play caller in the NFL. If he got someone to run the team in Dallas and was allowed to concentrate on the offensive side of the ball I think he would be a success in Dallas. Which of course is one of my worst nightmares. Norv is a good offensive coordinator, IMHO not a head coach. But if given a second chance with the right circumstances, he may come back to kill the Redskins!

Henry Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Guys, Norv had Stephen Davis here for years and was unable to put together a decent team. What makes you think he'll go to Dallas and suddenly succeed? If Dallas wants to be an eternal 9-7 division runner-up, I'd say that's a great plan.

rv581 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 It all comes down to talent, and the ability to keep it. And what's sicker than Norv Turner is the thought that we let TWO Pro Bowl quality QBs (Brad Johnson, Trent Green) to leave in the past few years. If we could've kept just one of them.... sigh. A good QB can make any offense look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom [Giants fan] Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 You know something? Let's for a second say that the Giants beat the Colts and the Eagles. That last Sunday, if you gave me a choice of either watching the Saints or Falcons or watching the Redskins/Cowboys game, I would actually pick the Redskins vs. Cowboys. That game holds a lot of intrigue for not just Redskin and Cowboy fans but for fans of football who know what is going on with that streak. Of course, if the Giants do win both of their games and they need a Falcon or Saints loss that last Sunday to get in, I will pretty much be a basket case anyway and may not be able to look at football that day. Ohhhhh, who am I kidding???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 look, all I hope is you take out the Eagles while the Packers sweep and Tampa falls once sending the playoffs through Lambeau where is belongs. If the NFL is too ***** to have the Superbowl in the cold weather...at least the NFC Title game should be on the frozen tundra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerm Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I would be very upset if Dallas gave Davis big $. He is a good RB but not top 5-10. In FA he may get top 10 money but he isnt worth it. He is an above average starter not an All Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Davis is a top runner. He doesn't get the recognition or respect he deserves. Last year he led the conference in rushing. He's a Pro Bowl player. He is not a dominating back though and he has a downside to his game. I would congratulate the Cowboys if they got him because they would be immediately getting about the best runner in the conference. But, I don't know that I would be overly fearful of that move should they make it. The Cowboys have had an even better back for years. I did fear him. Davis is a guy you have to give the respect he's earned, but, I don't believe he is feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I don't get it, all this hoopla about Davis suiting up the the Cowboys next year, umm what about Troy Hambrick? Did he suddenly fall off the face of the earth? Hambrick should have been Dallas' starter for the last 2 seasons, but Emmit was in pursuit of a record so it didn't happen. WHat has happened since then, is Hambrick so disgruntled that he wants off the team or something? Why would Dallas spend big money on any RB when Hambrick is waiting in the wings?

Hambrick, you make art look like a rocket scientist. Hambrick, is a LB in a RB uniform, that's all. Fleetwood Mac should of made an album call Hambrick because it's all Dreams. This isn't a personal attack but you think too highly of Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 It's impossible to think too highly of a running back who's had 1405, 1318 and 1432 yards rushing in the three seasons prior to this one. It is possible to think too little of him and thinking too little of him is a sign of limited intelligence and only a passing interest in the game of football itself. As I stated and remains completely and factually true, Davis is an elite back. He's also a back that has a frustrating aspect to his game. Realizing his talent and credentials allow him to be a special player isn't a sign of great intelligence. It's probably just a sign that those who don't share reality have a bit less of it than you'd like to imagine is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Just for another opinion on where Davis may end up, here are the thoughts of a guy at PFW from his ESPN chat yesterday... http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=2911 skins 77 from trenton: what do you think the skins are going to do with stephen davis? how can they let such a bruising, consistent back go??? also- your thoughts on patrick ramsey..will he work with spurrier? thanks!!! Eric Edholm: They will let him go. That $11 million cap number is nowhere close to where the team can afford it, and it doesn't appear they want to re-sign him. I look for the two Texas teams, the Cowboys and Texans, to be the biggest players for Davis' services. It's rare a good quality RB is a true free agent. And there also was a coaching question later in the chat I mind as well add... Pritham: What are the odds that Dan Snyder(aka Lord Voldemort) wisens up and dumps Steve Spurrier and makes Marvin Lewis the head coach of the skins? Eric Edholm: Not very good. I think Lewis will get a job somewhere else, but it might not be until after next season. Spurrier will be here at least through next year unless he steps down before then.

joe Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Don't get me wrong, I would love to keep Davis in Washington, but he does not seem to be the type of back who takes over games to win them. It seems to me that he is always making a costly fumble. As for Norv going to Dallas, gosh, I hope so. As a head coach, he is a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I like Davis a lot. He's done a lot for our team but he's got a history of being nicked and at this point in his career I think he's lost a step. It would be the ultimate in taking one for the team if he went to Dallass, wrecked their salary cap, and then didn't pan out. A side benefit to Davis going to Dallass would be that they'd probably let Hambrick go. I'd love to have him here. He's fast for his size and I think he'd fit a lot better into the FNG than Davis. Please, just let us get a crack at him for a reasonable contract $$ figure. As for Norv :snore: I'm really afraid of him. Just wake me when he's fired and Jerrah hires his next sock puppet coach.

Yep, I'm a dumb ***, but I guess time will only be the true deciding factor, and boy why is time always on my side? Art you seem like a nice enought guy but you just don't seem to know when to stop posting about football matters. No one can know everytime about football, so limit your retorts to things you know about, hotdogs, titty dancers, booze, ect. Leave the football to people with atleast a ounce of brain power. Jesus my Korean girlfriend keeps picking your football faults out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
