Who Do We Keep?

Not to be too critical, but if you guys are trying to dissuade people from making posts, this is a good way to do it. This was my first post and I am obviously not as versitile with the search capabilities of this site as many other users (although I'll bet the majority of users don't know to to use those functions). Moreover, there were no such threads in the active list of threads. Given that folks often post all kinds of irrelevant nonsense having little to do with football or the Redskins (e.g., Jessica Simpson threads), it seems unfair to question the effort of people who wish to make a contribution but don't know about or use all of the site's features. If that is a pre-requisite to participating in this discussion, you'll be down to a pretty small number of users.

Having said all that, let me offer something constructive. It might make sense to see of there are ways to provide some structure to new threads (folders or something like that), as well as a thread archive (again, perhaps with a folder structure). So, for example, there might be folders about our coaching staff, FAs, certain positions, the schedule, NFC East, etc. That kind of structure is common in web-based systems like this, and I suspect we would all find some value in being able to go back and retrieve old threads (if for no other reason than to say "I told you so" about old predictions).


The search button could have avioded all this, and just check different pages on the threads page and the search button isnt hard at all.

guys serioulsy, its just as rude to ignore other peoples post, you think Landry will be in the 90's for Madden?!?!

What do you mean this is your first post?

Anyhow, my post was not only directed at you. It was directed at everyone who has complained about searching or even refused to do it. It was intended to help. I thought I was providing some tips on making searching easier. Guess I was wrong.

We're not trying to discourage anyone from posting. We're trying to encourage people to use the search function and become smarter users of the function. That said, this isn't an awful thread because clearly there have been changes since the last similar thread. Still, my guess is that you weren't even aware of the previous threads on the same topic.

As for the folders, we do have forums (salary cap, nfl draft, other sports) but we can't get too specific because it gets too confusing with certain topics.

guys serioulsy, its just as rude to ignore other peoples post, you think Landry will be in the 90's for Madden?!?!

Wrong forum :)

i love madden

i love madden

do you really love madden (lamp) or are you just saying that because you see one

No way Landry is made a 90 ,they'll make him a 86-89 , is my guess. The only 90's for redskins will be Portis , Samuels and Fletcher . This is the madden forum right?

i started a thread in the madden forum for it :)

i love madden


Never going to get old
