Yeah no.

Lets have a raise of hands on who wants Gardner back....
No one? Oh wait there's one.
By a vote of approximately 1900 to 1 that resolution fails. I'll be suiting up for them before 50-50 will again.

He was cut by the Panthers about a month ago (now with the Packers) and the Panthers aren't even in the Super Bowl....so not too hard to rag on him.

i know this is like totally dumb but like in madden 06' i love the big "possesion like receviers, theyre easier to hit, maybe we should take a bigger receiver into consideration, not b.c of madden because they can move the chains, make a critical 3rd down catch jst by jumping over a smaller cornerback......

In My Opinion

[SKinsFanatiK777]

Randle El would be great, or so would Reggie Wayne, who happened to be Santana's roomate at The U. So those guys would be great, as for a "possion" receiver T.O. would look good in a skins jersey, if he had a really complicated one year deal, I'd take a chance for a ring. That man can play football, but I'd still rather have Randle El or Wayne.


I met Joe Gibbs at Myrtle Beach, SC. And LaVar at a Wizards game.

LaVar must stay, and play on 3rd downs.

why do people get hung up on size.i agree with saden,create space and catch the ball.i would love randle el.and hell no to T.O.we need a receiver that can catch ,to me size doesnt matter.pac man jones was a first rounder last year and he is about 5'9" so not all the corners are getting bigger

[SKinsFanatiK777]

T.O. can catch, face it. By the way I just said I would do it, none of what we are saying is actually going to happen. We won't have cap room to sign these types of guys.

Randle-El is not the answer. I do not understand the buzz about him, either. First of all the reason that Pitts will let him go is because he isn't as good as Cedric Wilson.

Look at his stats: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/player...?playerId=3590

His best year was 43 catches for 600 yards and 3 TDs <crickets chirping>.

He isn't even as good as Patten, he fumbles too much, and his hands are Gardneresque. How would he help the team?

There are better options out there.

Reggie Wayne is really the only better option that I could see for us but he is going to want way to much money and who knows if he is going to work in a system without Manning and Harrison. Who are your "better options" and why are they better? and I would say Randle El is better than Patten and a lot younger, and if Cedric Wilson is better than Randle El why isn't he starting?

[Pocket$ $traight]

I would rather have any of these guys then Randle-El:

David Givens NE
Josh Reed Buf
Antonio Bryant Cle
Eric Moulds Buf
Kevin Johnson Det
Peerless Price Dal
Koren Robinson Min
David Boston Mia

Why are they better options, because almost every one of them has shown that they can produce at the NFL level. Something that Randle-el has never done. Cedric Wilson was the go to guy in the playoff game and had 80 less yards over the course of the season (which was Wilson's first in the system).

What makes him better than Patten??? Patten has had two 800 yard seasons and had 7 tds in one year. El has 7 tds in his career (excluding playoffs).

What is your evidence except that you "think" he is better. The Redskins need a producer at the #2.

Randle-El has bust written all over him.

[Pocket$ $traight]

I would rather have Gardner than Randle-el. At least Gardner can create a mismatch once or twice a season.

[skinspt-11]

I agree with Grim21Reeper. I 've never understood all the talk about Randle El being a #2 here. Then Grim shows the stats, The only difference between Patton and Randle El is Patton has 3 rings.

Givens would be a good pickup but I don't think the Patriots are going to let him go considering that Brown is getting old they're going to want to keep him around. Josh Reed numbers are worse than Randle El's in there 4 year careers you keep saying about Antwaan 7 career tds what about Reeds 6 career tds? Antonio Bryant has some issues but he is a consistent reciever I just think Randle El fits our style more. Moulds is a great receiver but he is what 34 yrs old thats all we need is another 30+ receiver with Patten. Price had a couple good seasons in Buffalo but relied on single coverage because of Moulds Price has already proved that he can't hack it anymore See Atlanta and Dallas.I do like KRob he is a great special teams player and he could contirbute as a #3 receiver I just can't see him as a #2. and finally what has David Boston done since he left Arizona oh wait I know he has been hurt he can't even start for Miami.

As for Randle El I think he is the best choice to fit our style of offense how can you say he hasn't proved that he can play at an NFL level 4 years 162recs, 2,012yds,7tds granted they arent the best numbers but he has proven that he can be a #2 receiver and remember this is his first real year with significant playing time do to Plaxico Burress being in Pittsburgh.

Patten is a good receiver but just not a #2 receiver he was always a #3 receiver with New England , I think he fits us better as a #3 and he is getting old, Randle El has only been in the leauge 4 yrs and I think he can do a great job for us.
