2012 Point and Laugh at the Skins thread

[ice grillin you]

The Skins have no legit receivers, their running backs are a joke, their offensive line is mediocre and they'll have a rookie quarterback to lead them (if he even starts, that is).

this deal isnt about 2012....its about getting your qb for the next 15 years....that said the skins won three less games than the eagles with rex grossman and john beck as their qb....i also wouldnt be shocked if they signed vincent jackson next week

If the Skins were a team like the Jets, being held back more or less solely by the limitations of their QB, I think the picks would be clearly worth it. The Skins don't strike me as a team where you can slot in a top QB and expect instant success, though. Will Danny be able to build a serious team around him as the years pass?

again its not about this year....remember the first couple years of mcnabb before we realized he was a bedwetting douche...nothing can replace that feeling of hope in sports....that feeling of euphoria that one of your teams might just have a guy that can lead you to championships in the future...one of my greatest memories was being in fed ex field when mcnabb led that drive where he ankled mark carrier to take the lead against the taterskins...remember going nuts hugging everyone around me and thinking holy shtein this is the guy...you cant put a price on what a franchise quarterback can bring you...sure rgiii could also flop but is there a guarantee that the number one picks the next two years will lead them anywhere?

i mean on one hand everyone wants to say the taterskins cant build a team to win....then on the other hand you dont want them giving up a couple picks because they need them to build a team...cant have it both ways

It is also funny that one of the few areas that they haven't been incompetent recently is in their high draft picks, when they've actually had them.

thats because they now have a real live gm who has put together a competant football operation and a legit nfl coach

I really like Griffin. I really hate the taterskins. I hate the fact that he is going to be on that team because I cannot root for him now.

I wonder what the douchebags over at ES have to say about this?

I do believe they gave up too much. Regardless of who they sign in FA a team needs draft picks and Snyder treats them as if they're aids infected needles.

Griffin will be coached by a guy who sucks at developing QBs and his OC son who cannot coordinate an offense.

Yes I think the Skins will care the next two seasons when they don't have 1st round picks. They have cap space but they have so many holes, meaning they can add free agents which will cost money but the cheapest and most effective way to build a team is through the draft.

They may not even have the cap space:

NFL is taking away millions of dolllar of salary-cap space from Cowboys and taterskins for how they front-loaded deals during uncapped year.

[Gene]

Ouch.

Cowboys lose $10 million in cap space, taterskins lose $36 million in space. Can split it over 2012 and 2013 any way they want. More at ESPN.

This is too good to be true.  While I still don't think that the trade itself for RGIII was a good trade, it's not looking as good for the Skins now  that they may be losing $36 mil over the next 2 years. 

[Sgt PSN]

Action News is taking you live to the streets of DC where this garbage man and taterskins fan learned of the NFL ruling to take $36mil in cap space away from the Washington taterskins.

[General_Failure]

What is the cap at this year, anyway? 800 million?

thats because they now have a real live gm who has put together a competant football operation...

Ummm................ yeah.

Pointing, laughing, etc.

[ice grillin you]

the funniest part of this is not the penalty because they will find ways to still spend money...its the fact that the eagles and most other teams in the league gained 1.6 mil in cap space becuse of what the skins and cowboys did

[SD]

This is so awesome. The one glimmer of hope Skins fans had was "we might not have picks, but we have a shtein ton of cap space, Vincent Jackson will be a Skin day one of free agency...book it!" [cue price is right loser horn].

farging joke of a franchise.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Clayton was saying they will still probably sign Vincent Jackson.

$36M is a helluva hit though

[ice grillin you]

yeah this has little bearing on who they can or cant sign...and doesnt affect them getting vincent jackson at all

it will probably hurt their depth and they may have to cut a few more players than they normally would but this sounds like a lot bigger deal than it is...the cap in the nfl is and always has been a joke

[Rome]

Considering they usually have to slash players left and right because of their ineptitude that's quite a bold statement, IGY.

[ice grillin you]

they dont have to cut anyone....even with the nfl penalty handed down they are still 13 million under the cap...they are cutting elders who arent what they once were....these are moves unrelated to what the nfl handed down yesterday

either way skins arent winning the superbowl this or next year....they are getting what they hope is their franchise qb and looking at making the first of many superbowl runs probably starting in 2015

[Rome]

Cutting elders.  Right.  You mean the same free agent trash they signed last year or the year before or the year before that...

PS... your taterskins love is really shining brightly this morning.  "Many Super Bowl runs" is a classic even for you, my man.
