and who, exactly, on the redskins' roster have YOU been talking to to announce that as fact?
todd has limited upside and very few years left. when he came in, saunders did a 180 on his play calling and actually called deep routes to WRs without hamstring problem and not named brandon lloyd. he also was calling plays with an improved o line and a health(ier) clinton portis.
let's not go too far overboard with todd's canton induction just yet. the comparision hasn't been equal, and jason adds scrambling and a much better arm (though his decisions and fumbles aren't right yet).
