bonesbr549 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 It's been a long time, and while I liked Portis, I still feel today as good as he was, it was a mistake to trade Champ. I can still remember my sister calling me and rubbing it in. Can you imagine him still back there. I know you can't play coulda,shoulda, woulda, but I'm just sayin.......

Cooooley47 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 He wanted out and we got a damn good back as opposed to nothing. Did get fleeced on that 2nd rounder, but this has been debated a million times and probably hundreds of other threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigevhfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Nope, don't miss him a bit. I feel one of reasons for our turnaround this year is that we have character in the locker room. Chump was solid on the field, but if he didn't want to be here, that is bad for the locker room. Good riddance chump, don't miss you a bit.

SemperFi Skins Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 :munchout: We just won the NFCEast... have a playoff game this Sunday. I loved Champ, hell of a player, but he did not want to be here... Not all thoughts should be threads, especially when we are going in to the playoffs...

Bang Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Well, if Champ WOULDA wanted to stay, we probably COULDA signed him. But since he didn't, it's not really even worth musing over. the fact we managed to take a player who had publicly stated he was not coming back and was going to leave as a free agent... and do a sign-and-trade to pick up Portis is one of the better moves this organization made in the 00 decade. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch_Lives59 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 we'd have a 34 year old corner??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born In 93 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 we would of never made the playoffs in 05 or 07 with portis instead of champ. game changing running back > good corner he was better in denver than he was here, he would of more than likely regressed years ago had he stayed on the skins.

Redskin4ever Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 ...we wouldn't be in this position today. We can go over all the bad moves over the past decade, but if the Skins make the right move on even just 1 of them, maybe we don't end up with RG3. Maybe we win a couple more games each year and get worse picks. Maybe we don't have the picks to trade for RG3. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Do you see how this works? Everything the Redskins have done, good and bad, led us to this exact point. I hate that we have sucked for so long, but I'm happy where we are right now.

I also think it's garbage. ---------- Post added January-3rd-2013 at 10:59 PM ---------- If only we didn't switch from brad Johnson to Jeff George.... Now this one has some merit.

Oh yeah, put me down for this one. Seriously, I don't care for any player that doesn't want to be here. Let them go, good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 What don't people get about the fact that Champ was leaving, whether it was via that trade, or once his contract was up? If that trade wasn't made, Champ leaves in free agency and the team gets nothing for him. Instead we ended up with a Clinton Portis who twice put the team on his back late in the season to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amm0409 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It would be nice to have both champ and Taylor back in their prime, but I'm enjoying every bit right now. Still havnt shaved my beard yet, it's playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
