What a waste of talent. Certainly not the first time for stories like this one. I'm sure someone else will pick him up though. Don't even think about it Dan!

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

Wow. Receivers seem to have a lot of issues.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

Extremely talented but also an extreme headache for any team.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

I think he has a lot of talent and I would sign him for the right price. Guys with proplems early in their carreer often straighten out on their second team. Look at Chris Carter when he went from Philly to Minnesotta. I would not give the guy any kind of signing bonus, but what's the harm in bringing him to camp for a look? The Redskins still need a #1 WR and this guy has the talent to develop into a #1 if he gets his head on straight.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

if joe wants to talk to him so be it, otherwise , keep walking.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

That is also true. I don't see him as having the same type of chronic problems TO-like people have.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

I would have to say that with the amounts of money these young guys get paid I would of had a hard time keeping my nose clean. Its alot to ask of these kids and most of them do a pretty good job. You have to think that most have come from nothing and never realy had much before the NFL and just think of the pressures they get from their friends back home that will never amount to much.

Maybe they should watch the 49ers training camp video?

It's not too hard to stay out of trouble. Simply don't carry guns, don't hang out with people who carry guns, don't drink and drive, don't hang out with people who drink and drive, don't get in fights, don't hang out with people who get in fights, and generally obey laws.

I can name a bunch of businessmen who got rich at a young age through their entrepreneurial genius, and you don't see them getting into trouble. Sure, you have the occasional white-collar criminal fraud case, but by-and-large the money is not what makes people get into trouble. It's a lack of sound judgment, and in almost all circumstances, those players who get in trouble in the NFL had questionable upbringings and less-than-ideal parental guidance as young'ns. It's not hard to stay out of trouble, you just have to use your head.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

I've been waiting for Koren Robinson to break out for some time now. He's so talented. I'd definitely take a look at him if the price was right. Or give him a mediocre contract as long as there are clauses that he must make team meetings unless excused, etc (if the NFLPA would even go for that)

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

This guy is just another Rod Gardner...we obviously don't need him. I also think he has a problem with his eyes wich is why he wears that visor and drops so many passes.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

Let him be someone else's problem. Doesn't seem like a guy Gibbs would be interested in anyway.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

i would love to have him on team. this guy has so much potential that its aint funny. he could in and be our best receiver hands down. i was just waiting for the opportunity to get this guy in because i knew that his days were numbered in seattle. he is tall and fast but needs some work on his hands. for the right price with incentives i think that we give him a look.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

well i see it, if koren comes to washington, he will be so close to home, remember, he came from NC state and maybe he's a kid that doesnt like living thousands of miles away from home. plus being much closer to home and having gibbs as a coach instead of Holmgren the (ill punch your ass in the face coach) will help him. just a thought, i dont like mental cases (like owens or moss) but this guy is still very young and far away from home with a coach that is a dick. it might work, but i say we atleast try

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

I wonder what kind of money he'd be looking for.

Holmgren did try to help this guy and after all he's done, he tells Mike, the Seattle fans and media how he has learned from his mistakes and is getting the help he needs, etc. The fans here seemed willing to give him another chance and not even two months after he makes these statements, he goes out and gets a DUI. The guys has tons of talent, but I don't want to see the Skins take him for 3 or 4 years and get maybe 1 good season out of him, while waiting for his "potential".

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

U guys make so many judgements based on what the media said, personally I hope we sign him, he'd be a great pick up and a change of area may be the only thing he needs.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

no thanks... one thing seattle was known for last year is WRs with butterfingers... he can't catch and he has serious alcohol problems (besides being late for meetings)... he's not the kind of guy we'd want to bother with and like gardner, he's only had 1 good year.

His arrests are a matter of public record. His dropped passes are on film and I've seen them in person. He himself has admitted he has an alcohol problem. He was suspended for violating the league's substance abuse rules last season. He was suspended for two games last season by his team for violating team rules. He's had a grand total of 70 catches for just over 1,000 yards in two seasons despite being the 9th overall pick a few years back. I don't dislike him because of what the media says, I dislike him because of what he has and has not done.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

I can't believe how it seems not matter who the player is, there's always someone that think's it's a good idea to sign him.

How about Rae Carruth anyone, what if he got out of prison tomorrw? Who's going to suggest signing him to a veteran minimum deal? :laughing2

Ahhhh... after that info I reverse my vote.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

i wouldn't even glance at koren robinson. the guy is the next rod gardner. he'll probably get suspended next year for drug abuse too. i would like peter warrick though if he got released by the bengals.

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

I watched Warrick for FSU when I was on the FSU bandwagon (I have since jumped off because I realized that I only started liking them in the early 90s when they were winning) and the guy is a PLAYMAKER. Granted, he hasn't made TOO many plays since he was drafted, but the talent is still there. He just needs some grooming or a one-year deal.. :)

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

It's an attitude, a mind set, and how that player channels his off season time, who he hangs with, and family support system. etc......although most of the players with problems get the headlines, it's probably just a small percentage of players who get into trouble.

Just think of all the colleges and players, and the few roster spots available on the 32 NFL teams and along with it their chance to earn that big money. When a talented player throws it all way for drugs or whatever.........well that's a tragedy

A word to the REDSKINS......don't even CONSIDER this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Koren Robinson on His Way Out of Seattle
 

Lookup "Sean Taylor" to those who think we should sign Koren.
