The guy has not been good this year. Not even close. Penalties, sacks allowed and power stats are all down. He has not been the same player since the injury. The question is do you want to invest in him going forward? I wanted to edit this to include some stats. Scherff is below the league average in both Run and Passing stats this season: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol/2019 Damn right....this team doesnt need a 14 mil guard. Much less an overrated 14 mil guard. I always thought the guy was overrated it was just redskins fans being redskins fans pumping up their 5th pick.

Unbias Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 He doesn't want to be here. I'm not saying he's intentionally doing it, but clearly his heart isn't in it. Imho he asked for a trade, they said no and he's seeing how the Trent situation is playing out. He can't fake caring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megared Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Sure would've been nice to have identified that earlier. Maybe even could've traded him, instead of hoping for a comp pick. Is the new plan really going to be to let everyone walk that isn't giving a hometown discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 It would be awful for Scherff to say publicly he wanted a trade if thats the case. Could you imagine? A second pro bowler saying they didn’t want to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The idea that he's intentionally playing bad because he doesn't want to be here makes no ****ing sense. It might be true that he doesn't want to be here... I highly doubt he wants to leave bad enough that he'd purposely play ****ty & cost himself millions of dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s playing hurt and it’s affecting his performance. He very well may want to leave but that’s a separate issue & we shouldn’t conflate the two.

sempre_victrix Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 It's not just Scherff, the entire right side is putrid. Moses standing there while a rusher saunters past to sack Case. Penalties. Ineffective blocking. Man, the HC need to chew out the OL coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander -JB- Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 He’s looking at Preston Smith with 7 sacks on the 6-1 Packers. He’s looking at Kirk Cousins on the 5-2 Vikings. He’s looking at Trent Murphy on the 5-1 Bills. Get the hell out of Dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt he wants to leave bad enough that he'd purposely play ****ty & cost himself millions of dollars Yep - funny how so many people here can read his mind & know what it is like playing against the best players in the world coming off a tough injury. I would love to see how some folks here would fare in that situation. Saying that he doesn't care & is intentionally playing bad is just downright insulting to the guy. Let's see how this plays out for the reminder of the season before coming to any definitive conclusions. I also love how people say "Get rid of this guy" & "Get rid of that guy". How Snyderesque. People do realize that you have to replace these guys with someone & draft picks & the next sexy FA are not always the answer. If they get rid of him they are likely stuck with yet another scrub playing in his place. Even if they are able to rebuild it will take time, and it sounds like a lot of Redskins fans have virtually no patience. Even if magically they got a new front office it would still take time to get this right so patience is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 This board has been full of mourning over letting go of Preston Smith and Jamison Crowder too early. It's disconcerting how everyone is so eager to repeat the same mistake with Brandon Scherff before even finishing the season. The one player who was consistently good for 4 years until now.

The fact we spent the #3 pick on a guard is ridiculous to begin with. It was the #5 pick. And it's not ridiculous, not in today's NFL, because of the rookie wage scale. Before the rookie wage scale, the reason teams wouldn't draft a guard usually until later rounds was because of the ridiculous contracts negotiated for 1st round draft picks. In that draft, Scherff was the top rated OL, we needed OL, so they drafted him. Should we let him walk? I dunno, it depends on what they do with TW. I'd like to see us trade TW for a 1st round pick in the 2020 draft, then use both of those picks on a LT and RT while keeping Scherff. Unless there is a better guard out there in FA that would sign with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 O-line is a position that seems like it would be difficult to play at an elite level in a bubble by yourself. There is just so much intricacies to technique and assignments. It is rarely ever just you against a single rushing defender one on one (even if the play initially starts as such). Not to mention you also have to have a QB in sync and understanding the right blocking assignments to call out and when to audible to different ones etc etc.....case in point (no pun intended) Keenum took the blame for the Moses play where he just stood there, said he failed to get the correct snap count to him. Sherff was so good from Day 1 that at this point I am refusing to believe he just turned into a bad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 He had 2 holding calls against Dallas, he fell for the fake out against the Bears, not really dominating in the run game as much, so I dont think his struggles are only a result of coming back from injury. I dont think he's been playing at his normal Pro Bowl level all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
