By the way, the Redskins are now officially kicking themselves in the asz.

Throwing money around still hasn't bought Daniel Snyder a Super Bowl win let a Conference Championship. At least George Steinbrenner has some World Series wins.

Yeah, but, George didnt have to deal with a salary cap and revenue sharing either. On top of that, George went almost twenty years between titles and 15 years between playoff appearances while having the highest payroll in the league for much of that time.

Snyder will figure it out. Bringing in Shanahan was a good step.

I agree with you about Shanahan. He will be a tremendous asset for the Skins.

4 concussions in 6 years (that we know of). He's a mental and physical time bomb. I'm also in the Phil Camp and have always thought of him as just good.

I'd pass.

I was going to point that out. The guy has been hit in the head at least one to many times.

Ben would have gotten it worse behind that skins line than he would have in a jailhouse shower.

Still...a mere first round draft pick for roethlisberger? yeah, they are kicking themselves.

Given what they paid for a guy equally or more talented than Rothlisberger... they aren't kicking themselves at all.

I honestly have never thought Big Ben was anything more than just good though.

I like Mcnabb. I always have. But he is getting old and he has taken a lot of hits. He is certainly on the downside of his career.

Benro is in the midst of his prime and he has two skins on the wall.

You can't build around Mcnabb anymore. The window is small. With Roethlisberger, you have plenty of time to grow as a team.

I'd have to disagree - though last year was a precursor to things to come - now minus Santonio Holmes.
The guy got it done with a suspect line (now exposed) no running game and a decent receiver corps... D kept them in contention ( and you saw what impact the absence of Palamolu had) last season...There is not much left there since the SB.... he'd welcome a change I'm sure.

He is more of a natural fit to the existing Redskins scheme than McNabb is, though as a lifelong Skins guy, I'm not complaining either way

You mean you weren't excited to see another year of Jason Campbell taking an hour to run the two minute drill?

Dont be expecting an improvement with two minute drills. Thats one of McNabb's most glaring weaknesses.

Another liability of taking on Roethlisberger is that he is not allowed to do any team activities until suspension is over. So if he was traded to another team, he would need to learn the offense rather quickly once suspension is over.

Besides Pitt, who else could he succeed this coming season? Arizona maybe?
