Until we prove that we can win on a consistent basis, then we'll keep seeing more articles like this.
I agree.....and that's why I pay very little or no attention to them because people are entitled to their opinions. When it comes to competitive sports, everyone loves a winner.

Griffen is the only D-lineman on the Skins who might start for another team in the league. I doubt any of the others on the roster would...

I cant believe that people are saying this. Carter had 6 sacks and did not start playing till the end of the year. Yeah, we need another end. Golston and Montgomery could turn out to be solid starters.

Griffin would start for most teams in this league, Carter would probably also start for most.

I agree with this article for the most part. Although he did mention "Raymer" as one of our O-lineman. Rabach maybe? This guy couldn't proofread his own article before posting it in the Washington Post?? Wow. He also said Portis is still young and his best years are in front of him. While he is still young, I definitely don't think his best years are in front of him. He is turning into an injury prone guy.
But unfortunately this dude is right, IMO, about the rest of the team. Unproven QB, and a lot of old dudes, etc. It's much more of a young man's league than it was 15-20 years ago. Coach Joe didn't get that memo.

I really don't like today's article, in Redskins Insider. Redskins Insider (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider)
I think he is way off base. I think that the only place our talent is possibly sub-par is on our Dline. The offensive line is getting old , but they can play. Our skill players, on offense, are well above average. Linebackers are solid, even if McIntosh turns out to be a bust. They will just play Marshall. Campbell is in his third year and from what I hear is the hardest working Quarterback in the NFL. With a near full draft next year, they are well on their way to a championship.
What gives anyone the reason to believe we are anything more than mediocore? Out of 10 years we have had two winning seasons. other than a year or two of 8-8, we have had losing seasons. I dont care what kind of talent we have on PAPER, until we win games, and the talent lives up to the hype this is who we are. We have done absolutely nothing to discount those opinions. They are actually more fact than opinion. I am sick of hearing how people on here say they are bashing the skins. what makes you think we deserve anything other than bashing or expers questioning our team? We have stunk for all most 10 years. there are only 3 franchises since 2000 that have lost more games than us.
Hopefully this year will be different. The only way to stop the negativety towards our skins is to WIN, something we have not done in LONG time. and I mean win year in and year out, not one year out of 5.

Everyone keeps saying lets get this lets get that guy, most are not better than Carter last year. Alex Brown, that everyone keeps asking for, had only 7 sacks. Carter is also not undersized. DE on the weak side are smaller fast rushers. The Redskins only forced 19 sacks, which I am sure made it even harder for Carter to get to the QB. The problem we had was that Holdman sucked. If we had Lavar last year our run defense would have been much better.
