Football Outsiders: Redskins dead last in under-25 talent

[Monkeydad]

This is completely irrelevant...the players limited to "under 25" are a small percentage of all players in the league and many players don't accomplish as much in their first few years anyways. The rookie team leader is the exception to the rule most of the time. Rarely does a player like Adrian Peterson come in and take over the league in their rookie season. Only when a team was desperate at a position is this even possible for a young player to be inserted onto the top of the depth chart immediately. Look how many draft picks there are...many will be out of the league by age 26. Few will be starting and making an impact.

Proof: Look at the mediocre teams on top of this list. The Texans are up-and-coming, well, we'll see how losing Kyle Shanahan affects them.

This is a stat that just doesn't matter, so if the Skins are dead last...it doesn't worry me one bit. It's no secret we've tried to add proven vets to most positional needs, except for Left Tackle. After the worst season I've ever seen, loading up with young players and rookies won't help turn it around immediately. Lets win now. We DO have some great young core players who can be here long term,: Fred Davis, Devin Thomas, Trent Williams, Justin Tryon...many others.

We've had a rough decade, lets get this turned around ASAP.
