"whats wrong with the Commanders"

they spend zillions of dollars on vastly overrated players, thats what

someobyd remind us again how many (who who they were) guys they spent 25-30 million contracts on this past offseason

David

More to the point, they get the wrong players. Ignore the outrageous contract numbers-- you're looking at players who will be cut/restructured long before they see those backloaded payoffs.

Right now Washington cap impacts of Lloyd, Randle El, and Archuleta are minimal, like around 2 million each.

The problems is that each of these players are at best role players. As of right now, they've signed these guys for a few flashy punt returns that didn't amount to much and one long pass made in a loss to the Titans.

I actually agree with Theismann :)banghead:), they jumped the gun and got three of the same kind of receiver when they could have had Joe Jurevicius, Terrell Owens, Keyshawn Johnson, Donte Stallworth, Ashlie Lelie (no big loss here I agree), Eric Moulds, or maybe even Javon Walker. Instead they wind up with Lloyd, a chronic underachiever, and Randle El, a role player.

The fools also went and paid Adam Archuleta when they had a better player in Ryan Clark. Letting Arrington go was addition by subtraction, but losing Antonio Pierce and Fred Smoot years earlier was mindless.

Thanks for their complete disdain for draft picks, they are paper thin all over the place.

I would love it if Washington never fires Vinne Cerrato because it would guarantee more of the same incompetance.

Well sure they do...anything can happen.

Just like the winless Titans almost beat the Colts and did beat the skins.

Never know...last year people where hee hawing and laughing at the skins fans saying there was a chance they could run the tables.

And they did.

As much as I despise the RedStinks, I hope they do beat the Colts!!

I'm sick and tired of the Manning this and Manning that...!

As a matter of fact, I bet that the Cowboys will beat the Colts when they come to Texas! That's after the Cowboys whip that other brat Manning...!

per Goose:

FINAL THOUGHT

Do the Commanders have too many weapons? Big salaries bring big egos. Club owner Dan Snyder has spent megabucks to field an offensive unit that includes halfback Clinton Portis and wide receivers Santana Moss, Brandon Lloyd and Antwaan Randle El. Offensive coordinator Al Saunders appears more concerned about trying to spread the ball around and keeping everyone happy than winning games. The Commanders are failing at both. Portis ranks 20th in the NFL in rushing and the 2-4 Commanders don't have a receiver in the Top 25. Just give the ball to Portis and go. He's the most reliable weapon the Commanders have. But then running the ball isn't very sexy.

Funny thing is from what I have gathered from some skins fans is that they are not spreading the ball around enough among the WRs.

I have heard quite a few say that Brunell is locking on Moss too much and missing the other WRs that are wide open.

Who knows if it is true or not as I have only seen them play when we beat them.

I can't stand either of the Mannings either (including papa manning)... but I want to see them beat the crap outta the skins!

I'm with you on the Colts/Cowboys! I hope we tame the donkeys!:D

The Commanders should of made a move for a QB in free agency that was decent, making Adam Archuleta the highest paid safety ever is just.......well........it's.....unexplainable.

I'll tell the "Zoners" whats wrong with them...... I have Brunell, Moss and Cooley on my fantasy team (which was auto picked by the system). Every week in which I've picked those three as starters they have lost and so have I...... I will continue to pick them weekly until the streak ends.... hopefully not anytime soon!

FWIW.... the same thing happened with Philly last year.. I had Akers and the Philly "D"...........and look what happened!!!:D

Not sure why you would include Todd Collins on that list; he's a backup QB and isn't paid nearly what the others are.

I will tell you what is wrong with the Skins: there is no dedication to the run. Giving CP the ball 14 times against one of the worst run D's in the league is absolutely pathetic. That was a team that we should have played smashmouth Commander football against, but we went all soft and pansy on them. CP should have had at least 150 yards to go with his 2 scores. Very frustrating.

as the owner of Clinton Portis in my FF league, i couldnt agree more

It's amazing that we don't see our off season resident RedStinks on this thread sticking up for their lousey team! I mean, they "won a playoff game last year"..."they got the best coaches in the business"..."they signed all the best free agents on the market"..."they swept the Cowboys"...."Snyder is the best owner in the NFL"..."blah, blah, blah...." :laugh2:

Another thing...where is our resident eagle "fandom":rolleyes: with his "get some"..."bring it"..."The eagles will compete"..."McFatso is healthy"..."blah, blah, blah"....

When the light gets turned on, the roaches scatter...as usual...!

It must really suck to be a fan of those teams...

And, the Giants just bore me!!

;)
