skinsfanthru&thru 05-31-2005, 04:54 PM Is it just me, or does anyone else want to keep Rod Gardner? I mean, he has his problems, but he has had some really good games, and if we have put up with his inconsistancy and he finally has his breakout year (he's been close before) for the Eagles, Giants or Cowboys I will be sick.
I think we might as well keep him as long as he'll actually show up. I just don't really see Mccants stepping up as the chain mover and Gardner has always been good for a couple trick plays a year throwing the ball.
mooby 05-31-2005, 04:57 PM it is. griffin got shafted, and even though a.p. plays for the gints now, he got shafted too. shawn springs got shafted also. most of our defense didn't get the credit they deserve. i hate the eagles as a team, but i like donovan mcnabb as a player. he is one of the better qb's in the game, and he deserves the respect he gets.

If it wasn't an issue of money, then sure, keep Gardner. However, Gardner believes he is worth more than what he actually is worth in the eyes of most NFL teams (including the Redskins apparently,) so there is really no way for us to keep Gardner.

I'd like to keep him for this year too. I think McCants is capable of being a chain mover, but I also think Gardner would be better than all but one of hte recivers on our team now. Plus its a contract year, so I think he is going to have a big season. We need the money, so I dont really have a big gripe on the issue, but I think it'd be nice if he stayed.
Gardner has given us 1 good year and 3 mediocre ones. Time to move on, we need the cap space more than we need him.

Anyone we might pick up? Gibbs is always talking about upgrading, and being a place where folks can suceed if they work hard, etc. so I wouldn't be surprised to see a pickup.
Also, how does the rookie cap work with the regular cap? Is all our cap space really going to the rookies? This is obviously a question for Canuck, or any other of y'all capologists.
The rookie cap, as I understand it, is part of the total cap. And in the Redskins' case they have $4.037 million dollars max to spend on their six draft picks. Rogers is slotted to get $1.8 million and Campbell $1 million
That Guy 05-31-2005, 08:04 PM TO leaves garcia, garcia bombs, he joins mcnabb, mcnabb booms... not saying thats the only reason (garcia moved to a shithole team with a bad coach etc) but its definatly part of it...
TheMalcolmConnection 05-31-2005, 08:10 PM I agree, like I said before, it's a crazy correlation. We'll see how Moss makes Collins look next year.
GoSkins! 05-31-2005, 09:09 PM Gardner will be a good pickup for a different team. He just doesn't fit with the Joe Gibbs offense. Joe requires a high level of precision. Gardner drops half his passes. In a quick strike offense (Rams, Chiefs) Gardner could do well. In a grind it out, burn up the clock offense, he is a drive ender.
TheMalcolmConnection 05-31-2005, 09:37 PM Honestly, I don't think he'd even fit into the Rams or Chiefs O. He's got to CATCH passes first before he can run with them.
