skinsfaninok, I hear ya! Its just that when you see the other 3 teams in the division that are settled at QB, Romo, Vick and little Manning, its just hard to see the Skins winning 4 or 5 in the division, which is what they need to do and CAN'T do year in and year out. In 2010 the Skins were 2-4 in div, 2009 0-6, 2008 3-3, 2007 3-3, 2006 1-5, 2005 5-1.

The pattern is that you have to go all the way back to 2005 to find the Skins having a winning record in the division. Even then they were just a Wildcard team.

It all starts with QB and it always has. I'm just a fan of Locker but even if we drafted Cam, Gabbert etc. I'd still be happy because it's time for this team to get a QB of the future. Even with JC it didn't have the "franchise" QB feel to it. As for the rest of the East, both Phiily and Dallas have very AVG defenses, so that will help. Lets wait and see what we do this offseason, maybe we can create a pretty good team. Go get Rice at WR bring back Moss, Add a NT and another OL and who knows, But you are definitely right about the QB, this team needs one ASAP!
