Really enjoyed these so far. Matt Williamson's piece on McCloughan was especially good.

In this draft I like the quantity idea.

well... not exactly a glowing prognosis for the RG3 era ahead!

I really hope RG3 can turn it around, but I'm a little pessimistic myself.

I'm sure the same was said about Terry Bradshaw. He and Chuck Noll never did see eye to eye, but somehow they won 4 SB's together.

We'll know a lot more next year.

Hail!

Re: Expert's take on the Redskins
 

Not a glowing endorsement of RG3 but how could there be? Anybody who did would be an idiot.

As far as the defense goes,both of them seemed to me to be screaming switch back to the 4-3 because we dont have the personnel to run the 3-4,but being the redskins I'm sure we will stick with the 3-4

Re: Expert's take on the Redskins
 

I think you have to buy your time with Robert and hope he can salvage some of the success he has had. I am not sure but the number of QBs that have lit it up, then regressed and bounced back is probably pretty small. I would say that if Robert can become an average level QB and we can build a team there is reason for promising seasons ahead.

Re: Expert's take on the Redskins
 

I'm just not ready to give up on RG3. I think the guy has a lot talent and intelligent enough to pick up the playbook overtime. We invested way to much in him to just give up on him so quickly. The guy is 24 years old with a lot of upside. All we have to do is give him time and get better in key areas on the offense and build up the defense.

Agree.

Re: Expert's take on the Redskins
 

tl;dr we're not very good.

This speaks directly to Scott Campbell and our scouting department. Can't wait till scot fires all these guys.

That's the same way I see it.

Re: Expert's take on the Redskins
 

I don't know if I agree with this one. We might not have a lot of talent under 25 but Breeland was a steal last year. I know one player will not make a difference when you are 4 - 12. Moving to a power game should help Long and Moses. Tress Way is only 24 and really good punter.

Holding him strictly to what he specified("25 or younger"), he also missed Keenan Robinson. Easily better than any of those listed and doesn't turn 26 until July.
