RedskinsNation Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Now that the draft is over...the Gibbs era is in full swing. I was thinking about the few positives that the Spurrier era brought us (personnel wise).....??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhd24 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Spurrier was a good teacher on the fundamentals of passing. I don't think you'll ever see rookie qb's have more td's than int's like Ramsey did. Heck, he got Hasselback ready in one week to perform very well. Spurrier also prepared the wr's very well. Although I think Coles would have been great with any team, newly signed wr's rarely have the impact Coles had last year. Spurrier can coach Qb's and Wr's.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Coles was a Spurrier thing too. I like that signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezings81 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I think it will be funny when he comes back though... He'll be back. Probably after this coming season or the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big z Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 i think the thing i loved most about spurrier was his committment to the run...his discipline...his tireless work ethic. well...maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent Wasted at a Desk Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Patrick Ramsey, period. With the #32 pick we got who now seems to be the best QB of the 2002 draft. Also, he knew when to fold 'em. Knowing when to leave is a rare social skill. Plus, he was fun. Too laidback, perhaps, but friendly and unassuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyphilly Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 clearly the best thing to come from steve spurrier was the classic fish face he so graciously displayed on monday night football two years ago :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big z Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 or maybe it was the best preseason game of our lives in osaka... or the WR screen pass.... i agree with the knowing when to fold them comment....i'll give spurrier credit...he could've leached millions more from the franchise while dragging it even lower into the sewer....to his credit...he walked away.

Oldskool Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 1. Our over abundance of talented WR’s. Especially Coles. 2. The QB fundamentals that he taught Ramsey. 3. and most importantly…. JOE GIBBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Talent, if memory serves me Patrick Ramsey was a Cerrato pick. I don't think SS wanted Patrick at all. SS was in the former Gator QB mode than. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Dave Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I dunno. I still like Spurrier (through my Orange and Blue goggles, of course). Hopefully he'll either come back to UF or have some success as a coordinator in the NFL. I think I'd have to go with Gibbs as his #1 achievement. If he was never here, we'd probably be where the Chargers are right now... being screwed by Schottenheimer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Better WR play, better QB play, and Laveranues Coles. Besides that, not much. BD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Spurrier was in retrospect a transitional figure much as Jack Pardee was in the late 1970's and 1980. Whatever we gained from the Spurrier era comes mainly from reaping the benefits of being a bad club, ie a high draft pick for Sean Taylor and a team full of players that are hungry to turn things around The acquisitions of Coles, Morton and Thomas are moves I think the Skins would have made with or without Spurrier so I am not crediting his presence in that regard.

WallyG3 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hunger Desire Thirst Buges was saying in his presser the other day how so many of these guys are just dying to be coached, and you can tell how hungry a lot of them are to win. I think Samuels will have a great year, and it's because he had such a bad one last year. Spurrier's losing made these guys desperate to win. They learned that half-assing it won't do the job in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM_Marylander Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Joe Gibbs. and in a far off second place, Laverneous Coles. Maybe Sean Taylor makes the list, if he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPlainsDrifter Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Spurrier made it possible for us to be the most improved team in the league this year. From worst to first in 2004!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathByLinebacker Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 How about a little love for the Danny Wuerffel kickoff? ....................................... I still think Spurrier can coach, of course, but he would have been well served to come into the league as a coordinator instead of as a head coach.
