SkinsHokieFan Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well, hopefully the Haynesworth debacle represents the last of a screwed up era in Redskins history. So with Danny's 32 million down the tubes (he won't get a dime back), lets look at some other notable theifs that have come by the last decade 2000- Dieon Sanders. 7 years, 56 million, 8 million guranteed. After Norv's Club Med left and Commander Schottenhiemer arrived, it was adios for Dieon, and those 8 million 2002- Steve Spurrier. Gets a 5 year, 25 million dollar deal and proceeds to be one of the laziest head coaches in NFL history over the next 2 years, mocking coaches like Jon Gruden who often show up at 4 am to start working. After winning 12 games, he pockets 10 million dollars and says goodbye to DC after the 2003, 5-11 "not so good" disaster 2006- Brandon Lloyd. He was the recipient of one of those 6 year, 30 million, 10 million guranteed contracts that Dan Snyder was handing out during that summer. His production? Well lets just say Hunter the punter has scored more TDs in the B&G then Lloyd did in his pathetic 2 years. Eventually we let him go 2009- Albert Haynesworth. I think we all know the story there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 ? Kinda obvious, isn't it? Haynesworth, just because of the sheer dollar amount. At least though he had some talent and it was "market value" for him B-Lloyd is very high up on the list. No talent, never did anything, and nobody would have paid that kind of money for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriously Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 ? Kinda obvious, isn't it? Yes, Vinny and himself. Mismanaging players is his own problem, hopefully Allen can fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I went with Lloyd actually. 10 million guaranteed and he did not do a thing at all. Plus many said his market value was not what we paid him. Plus giving up a 3rd and 4th round pick did not help either, even though that's not technically Dan's money. Haynesworth was still a good player, when he did play. Plus, his contract was market value for the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho fan Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Yeah, obviously Big (thief) Al... Can you imagine being in Danny's shoes and seeing this list.. would have to make you literally sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSkins Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 the fact that there is even a poll about this shows that the players aren't thieves, and that snyder is just a moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krizz Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I wouldn't consider them thieves as much as recipients of Dan Snyder's generous NFL Athlete Charity Program. These guys knew they were coming here for a payday. Frankly I'm surprised it didn't happen more often than it did, considering just about everyone knew that coming to D.C. meant a huge paycheck. Allen seems to have a much better grasp on the worth of money and draft picks. Although it did make offseasons much more exciting. I'm bored out of my mind reading about Haynesworth every day. But I guess it's a good kind of boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD5 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Fat Al for sure. But the list isn't complete. To a lesser degree: CP....who twice now has said he was about to quit. Once just before ST died, and again last week before Shanahan came in. J Gibbs 2. Sorry, Gibbs 1 was the greatest. But not knowing the rules on consecutive timeouts? That is either lazy, old age, or stealing. Depending on how you look at it. Take your pick. $5 mill, and can't find the time to learn the rules? D Thomas. Malcomb. Greg Bleh. 95% of our coaching staff over the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once just before ST died, and again last week before Shanahan came in.. I can't say he has "stolen" money. He has played incredibly hard and never quit on his teammates. Thrown them under the bus and generally been a premadonna, sure. But he hasn't stolen money J Gibbs 2. Sorry, Gibbs 1 was the greatest. But not knowing the rules on consecutive timeouts? That is either lazy, old age, or stealing. Depending on how you look at it. Take your pick. $5 mill, and can't find the time to learn the rules? This is just laughable. Gibbs 2, considering all the BS he did have to put up with, was one of the best coaching jobs this team has seen since Gibbs 1. D Thomas. Malcomb. Greg Bleh. 95% of our coaching staff over the last decade .I suppose. But its peanuts compared to the others on this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your pick. $5 mill, and can't find the time to learn the rules? Shortly before his death, George Michael confirmed that it was in fact Al Saunders who radioed that time out to Gibbs. JG took the heat and he never threw AS under the bus. But I get your point about Gibbs 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all of these are to a lesser degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I voted for Fat Al but I think he and Deion are about the same in that they are looking to jump ship after one year because they don't like the new coaching staff. To tell the truth, the biggest thief I've seen is Dana Stubblefield. He took that huge contract and proceeded to: -Suck -Tell the coaches how to run practice -Go on IR because he fell down some stairs -Refuse to come back into a game because of a tummy ache.

MEANDWARF Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Add Archuleta (may be a spelling error here) to your pole. Fat Albert is the only one on the list that is taking the money and running. Rest played, they just sucked while they were here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruz_97 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Fat Al is literally the biggest theif. One year and he wants out already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadKarma Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 The CBA has to change so that teams have more power, from players like Haynesworth who are blatant thieves to guys who play for a season or two and demand that their contracts are re worked like Chris Johnson and Andre Johnson. You sign a contract, you honor your contract and suck it up, I think the whole signing bonus thing needs to be abolished to a minimum so players who dont show up or hold out have their livelihood taken away. Playing in the NFL is a priviledge, you dont like it then piss off and go play for peanuts in cold ass canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
