No Redskins WR have attended 1st 2 days of workouts

Kelly's knee problems scare the hell outta me. Season ended for us 14 weeks ago and he's still not running evidently... can someone explain the history a bit here. Did Kelly miss a lot of time in college from this or did his knees start to deteriorate (rapidly) just as his pro career started?

Kelly had some problems with his knee in college but not this much. He had surgery in the offseason to help correct this problem and there's no reason to rush him at this point. They want to make sure it's fully healed I'm sure. I think Portis found out last year that coming in was a good thing after getting almost 1500 yards. I heard that he realized how Fred Taylor had prolonged his career this way.

I think the wideouts read our thread about Torry Holt....it must have shaken their fragile confidence...I heard they are all huddled in a corner crying for their mommy.

Kelly came to the Skins "pre-injured". He did not need to play in an actual NFL game to incur those problems.

Everyone knew he had had knee problems in college. The Skins took a chance that he was over them. Clearly he was not.

I mean, i understand medicine is far from an exact science, but i would like to believe an NFL franchise would employ the services of the best minds in sports medicine to determine the severity of a "preexisting" condition such as Kelly's. With the value of the resources invested, not to mention the staggering opportunity cost, I'd want a very clean bill of health for my 1st and 2nd round prospects as a team's GM... incidentally this is one reason I think Orakpo is the biggest risk in this years draft, especially as a top ten pick.

If it isn't mandatory some people aren't going to show up. If I were Thomas especially, I would show up even if there wasn't anything for me to do. I would go out on the atroturf field and practice field goals in case our regular kicker get hurts. I would sleep on the couch in the players lounge. I would take a dump in La Canforas briefcase. Anything. Something.

If we used DT as a KR and possibly PR i think we'd be close(r) to getting our value for him...

For the record, I'm still very confident Kelly will be our top receiver one day. Just not surprised by the fact that we took a health risk before any other team.

I don't know about totally overvalued, most teams had him as the first or second WR in the draft last year. He was the 2nd WR drafted so how was that overvalued?

GTripp is still upset because he was ranked so high after only one year of college production. For some reason he also has a hard on for guys that have the most college starts.

Not that I blame him...I just don't completely agree.
