Outlook For 2014 & Beyond

I definitely want Hall back. I did not realize he's only 29...seems like he's been in the league longer than that.

I'd say he was our defensive MVP last season.

Redskins’ DeAngelo Hall: Players questioned RGIII benching (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2014/01/09/redskins-deangelo-hall-players-questioned-rgiii-benching/?tid=pm_sports_pop)

Good article. Hall says there was no tension in the locker room or complaints from RG3 until after he was benched. Says of RG3:

“From the first day that kid came into that locker room, all he wanted to do is impress us, try to prove to us that he would do anything to help us win football games. It was never about him. It obviously seems like it’s about him, because he’s the face."

Fletcher reiterated today that there were no issues in the locker room with RG3.

David Gettis signing phenomenal!!!! Finally one of those Baylor wideouts. Art Briles WRs are killing it in the NFL.

WRs = Garcon, Gettis, Moss, Hawkins, Robinson, Morgan, Hankerson + Camp competition.

Except for the ones who seem doomed by their ACL's.

Gettis played really well this year not sure why Carolina did not keep him. He is way better than La Fell.

Gettis got hurt in preseason this year. Injury is why he has not seen a regular season NFL field since 2010. ACL/hammy issues.

I wouldn't say he's a bum but I'm certainly not thinking a wr who hasn't seen the field in almost 4 years is going to be our #2, especially not since he's on a futures contract.

This boils down to what people think of Robert Griffin?

If you think he's a prima donna who won't ever learn to throw from the pocket, nothing is different. It's the same organization with the same resources making the same decisions.

If you look at this season, realize the guy was 23, and hey, those numbers would look pretty darn good for a quarterback if the year was 2006, then the answer is "Robert Griffin III."

And Trent Williams. And Jordan Reed. And Brian Orakpo They're really good too. And Shanahan's not here to explain to us in the offseason why it was critical for the success of the Redskins that we let Orakpo test the market.

I agree with you on the outlook for this team. First and foremost, the key to everything is the development of RGIII. A star QB can overcome many team deficiencies. Fortunately for me, my outlook is positive because I believe that RGIII will become a superstar.

RGIII has some very good people to work with on offense: Trent, Alfred, Jordan, and Pierre. Shore up the line and we'll be fine on that side of the ball.

On defense, we also have some very good people: Orakpo, Coefield, and Kerrigan. I also have hopes that Amerson, Phillip Thomas, and Richard Crawford will be solid contributors next season.

We should be able to fix ST's with a couple of inexpensive acquisitions and a legitimate ST coach.

We have cap room for some key FA's and we should get some help from the draft.

So, if we picked the right man as HC, I think we have a shot to be significantly better in 2014.

I agree, good outlook. Big IF's with RG3 and new young unproven coach, but good because:

1) RG3 - if he plays well.
2) 30 million salary cap
3) Young players in prime in key skill positions
4) Early 2nd round pick = close to first rounder
5) Finally will use collaborative effort / scouting reports - hope this is a good thing.
