Let me see if I have this right. The guys on TV who actually played professional football at one time in their life are just winging it and have no particular expertise - - compared to people who post opinions here.

Am I missing something?


Someone also said that everyone criticizes the Coles/Moss situation but offers no constructive suggestions about what should have been done. Not true; I offered an idea about that more than a month ago. Once it became absolutely clear that the Redskins did not want Coles back with them, they should have cut their losses and accpeted his offer to forget his $5M roster bonus in exchange for an outright release. I thought then - and I continue to think now - that the added flexibility that it would have given the Skins with regard to the salary cap would be worth more than Santana Moss will be worth. And remember, Moss is not going to remain a "bargain priced WR" for very long!

There's my suggestion; it hasn't changed in a month. The Skins had a time when they could have done it but they didn't. Whatever... And yes, that's just my opinion so it doesn't make it right, but it does demonstrate that some people actually did have concrete suggestions about how the situation might have turned out better.
