Re: DC Examiner...anyone besides me read this paper?
The problem with that article is that he fails to recognize that Moss and Portis both set Redskins yardage records and Brunell had one of statistically best seasons as a pro. Marcus Washington should have been a Pro-Bowler based on his performance as well should have Randy Thomas if he hadn't gotten injured. Plenty of well-paid Redskins played great last year.
Peyton Manning is getting paid, yet he performs just fine. Same with LT, MCNabb, Brady, the list goes on and on. For every well paid player dogging it , there's a well paid player who has just as much fire as he did when he was drafted.
When will there be an article highlighting the effects of time and experience among your fellow players and coaching staff. The Redskins "carousel effect" is as much to blame for their ability to not live up to the hype. It takes time to get comfortable in a new environment with new people and a new system.
