If we were 12-4 and made a deep playoff run last year and we just got Collins, I'd be through the roof. This is such an ignorant comment. The NFL is built for every team to be 8-8. Only way to really consistently breakthrough is to get a HOF-caliber QB. Which around 28 NFL teams are looking for. Keep building a solid base, hope to catch fire or land one of those QB’s.

That's my guy at 15 if I had to stick with one. You want to win with a mediocre at best pass game -- then build up the defense and offensive blocking. Hockenson = monster TE blocker and passing weapon, too. The other somewhat obvious thing IMO is take one of the pass rushers to push the defense further.

Thanks, but no. You are correct that one of the ways to break through is to get a HOF-type QB. Which they haven't done...well, practically since I've been alive (I'm 37). And they most likely won't do that this year. But if your response is that the NFL is built for every team to be 8-8, I guess we'll just have to settle.

It's fair to say with Crowder gone, this will need to be a place we go in the draft again. Oh, and Doctson breaks out? :). Does anyone trust this team to draft a good Wide Receiver? Crowder is a bright spot in a large pile of garbage. Speaking of garbage I guess we’re still waiting on Doctson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect a big part of this signing is the fact that the guy is a Sean Taylor PR rep and nostalgia machine. The FO knows they can rope fans in with that. 8 minutes ago, Cooleyfan1993 said: Lots of money! He idolized Sean Taylor though so i life the signing.

Yes, the money is a little high, but you gotta pay to play. For those of you ****ing about the signing, I'd much prefer overpaying a guy like Collins vs. a bunch of the usual BA bargain basement, bottom of the barrel signings, McGee, McClain, Hatcher, Paea, Goldson, Reyes, etc etc etc. I'm fine with the signing, and hope there are a few more to come. This is NOT the redskins of old. They used to sign over the hill looking for that last payday guys. This dude is young and in his prime. I'm all for it. I second this. If they had signed another two FA DT's whose name I struggle to remember, I would not have been hopeful. They need a couple more sizable signings. I'm also not unhappy about who they are letting go. Think about it this way, Preston Smith is rumored to get 12 million a year as a FA. I'd rather have Collins. Crowder is always hurt. Replace him with the draft.

No, the plan is always limp along at mediocrity just enough so we can say "if not for injuries, if not for rain, if not for the way that ball bounced that one time" and everybody gets to keep their high paying jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 It's actually been a while since the 'skins jumped out to get one of the premier free agents (in the first round of free agency.) They must have really liked him. Hopefully, he's a fit. Welcome and HTTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, the entire unit on defense, maybe. I think it’s trending that way. A bunch of dudes who bring their lunch pale and are about team football leading to winning. You’d imagine getting a bunch of dudes familiar with one another that’ll be easier to establish a team versus me approach. yeah, I'm having a hard time telling myself that Collins will lead to FedEx selling out now. But he could seriously upgrade the defense and help make it a strength again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if your response is that the NFL is built for every team to be 8-8, I guess we'll just have to settle. Parity. It exists. Some teams are better than others, but many are middle of the road. That's how teams come out of nowhere to have monster seasons that weren't anticipated. Yes we'd all like a HOF qb. But your odds of getting one are pretty slim. It's far more like you'll draft a Shuler than a Manning up high in the draft. So you keep building your team and hope you can find one, some way some how. Look at our own division rivals the cowgirls. Romo was a undrafted walk on, and set damn near every passing record they had. He retires, In comes Dak, who has 2 10+ win seasonss and 2 playoff appearances, all as a lowly 4th round pick. Why? Because they kept building their defense, O-line and running game. Is Dak a HOF guy? No. Is he good enough to win games and give you a chance in the playoffs? Absolutely yes. Here's another example. Nick Foles. The guy was almost out of the league and caught fire in the playoffs and gave them a SB trophy. And he did it by beating a HOF qb in Brady. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. The first hurdle is getting to the playoffs and all bets are off as it's a new season. Obviously the easiest way to do that is to have a HOF qb, but those guys don't grow on trees.

Please explain. I'm interested in why the Redskins haven't been able to find one in forever. As I said earlier, I'm interested in a proper rebuild (read: finding a franchise quarterback, included) not adding a high priced safety that won't move the needle.
