The Washington Redskins' Debaucle

[edubbs]

What does this team do to get back on track? They were projected to win the division and now they are looking at the ass crack for every team in the NFC East. An NFC East division that has been mostly a turd all year.

First, I think Shanny is gone. I'd be more than shocked to see him coaching again next year. Honestly, I'd agree to that move.

Second, move RGIII while you can get some value out of him. I'm betting the Jags may be willing to give the pick desperate 'skins some picks. Kirk Cousins is the QB of the immediate future and could pan out to be the permanent QB. He is a pro style QB and a pro style league . RGIII will be lucky to have legs still in 5 years.

After this year, the cap restriction will be over (36mill back on the books) so the 'skins will need to get look at getting some solid pass protection and pass rush. There is no limit on what the 'skins need but those should be a priority in free agency. I'd look for wide outs in the draft. I know they don't have a first round pick but you can definitely find value in a WR in later rounds.

I think this team could potentially climb back to a 9-7 respectable team by next year but it is going to need a complete restructuring to get it going... What do you think?

I think it could be as simple as canning Shannahan.

I heard on Mike and Mike this morning that Shanny is trying to get himself fired so he can head to Houston.

It sure looks that way.

I think you have to keep RGIII. He is a franchise quarterback and somebody you have committed a lot towards. My goodness, you gave up 143223 first round picks for.

Things do not look good in Redskin world right now.

RGIII isn't going any where. Dan Snyder is so far up his butt it doesn't matter how bad or injured he gets...he will be slated as the starter. I would at least look to see what value you can get from Cousins and Griffin though. They need a lot of help and I think they need to look to the draft to get it. Free agency always hurt the 'Skins more than helped. But you can bet they will be diving in hard to free agency with 36mill freed up and ready to be back on the books.

Dumping money all over players is not the best way to win. You obviously have to sign players that fit the system. Money doesnt matter. Not to mention, you have to be able to draft well!

[edubbs]

Dumping money won't get you wins but it helps keep the players you need to keep and get the players you need to get. The 'skins were not able to go after any premier players the last couple years because of not being able to compete financially. But with the moves Snyder makes it probably won't make a difference. He finds the best player available and overpays regardless if it fits the system.
