bulldog Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 what the hell do we have to lose by putting Graham out there and seeing what he can do? Banks hasn't shown anything over the past 4 or 5 weeks that would suggest he is improving in this offense. He plateaued weeks and weeks ago and is just what he is: a qb with a 70 rating that throws as many picks as touchdowns and doesn't have a good feel for the game.

bulldog Posted January 6, 2002 Author Share Posted January 6, 2002 Banks has kept his record intact. Even numbers of picks and td's. He was 9 and 9. Then 9 and 10 with the pick today. Now, the td to Rasby gets him back to zero again. Is there a chance he could actually finish as a net plus for the season? Isn't it like Banks to go and do something ***** after he shows us a ray of hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Actually bulldog, I think you call that a Raye of hope. ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.thelocker-room.com/images/RedskinLogo.jpg" border=0> "Loosen up, Sandy baby.

Thinking Skins Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 dag, you guys are really harsh. You cant give the guy the benefit of the doubt and accept that he made a bad play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 the problem, blakman, is which bad play are you referring to? We're sick of them, because he's bringing down the team. ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.thelocker-room.com/images/RedskinLogo.jpg" border=0> "Loosen up, Sandy baby.

bulldog Posted January 6, 2002 Author Share Posted January 6, 2002 Blakman, honestly, you must be married to Banks' sister your unflagging optimism for the guy is admirable. I don't know whether I could carry water for a guy that makes as few plays as Banks does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I'm sympatheric for Banks because the offense doesnt allow him to show his strengths. Dont get me wrong, I dont want him as our QB next year either. But I dont think that we should just hate him for being him. Like I said earlier, there have been a lot of drops this year, even this game. Sure banks has done his share of the bad, but he doesnt deserve all the blame, and definately not as much as he's getting today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 6, 2002 Author Share Posted January 6, 2002 I don't hate Banks. Banks' biggest problem has been that he is in a position he is not suited for. Banks is a good backup in this league that can be effective for short spurts. He is not a guy to count on for 16 games. And I agree that Marty has not made anything easy for him. He runs the ball on first and second downs and leaves Banks in third and 8 or 10 all the time. Those are plays that are difficult for all but the best quarterbacks to consistently make.

redman Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I don't think anyone here is pinning all the blame on Banks. Indeed, today as has been happening all year long, Raye has been getting a lot of flak too. It's just that Banks doesn't seem to make anything, certainly not much, out of the opportunities that the games present him. It's like Sonny said a little while ago on the radio - it just seems like he needs so much more time than good QB's to simply see the field and to make his reads. ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.thelocker-room.com/images/RedskinLogo.jpg" border=0> "Loosen up, Sandy baby.

Art Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 FYI. Banks has the same 8-3 record as Marty over the last 11 weeks. We ought to be thankful he was around for us. And we can be encouraged he won't, likely, be around next year. ------------------ Doom is in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
