If You Ran the Redskins...

I don't disagree. I think we need to stockpile some picks. The FO needs to make the call as to whether we can be SB Champs w/ this core. If the answer is no, well let's try to build something here. Not saying we should, but if the situation calls for it, i wouldn't be opposted. Or any other player for that matter.

rebuild the team starting with the offense and defensive lines. I make it policy to think line first- give me superior lines with average skill position players and we'll win games.

If I ran the Redskins I would do a few things.

1. I would get rid of VC and get a GM in here. A top tiered GM. Someone of the Tenn, Balt, NYG, Pitts mold. Someone fairly young. We have some decent personel staff so that doesn't mean getting rid of everyone here. We need to have a plan and stick to it. This GM might decide to "see what we got" next year w/ personel and coaching. Let's be patient.

2. Working w/ the new GM, I would try to stockpile some picks. If next years draft class is not too good-which i've heard-we can wait-but we need as many picks as possible.

3. Based on our goals, we decide who to keep and who were paying too much money to. On a short list are ARE and AC. Nobody on our team is uncuttable. Nobody.

4. Assess young FA's...Haynesworth, Gross are options.

1. First and foremost I'd get behind my head coach. The front office needs to have this guys back. He needs to be able to bring in his own guys. He gets 3 full years.

2. As much as I think Vinny sucks like a bunch of rotten assholes, he's tied to Zorn. He gets next year and the year after. I'm going to give him 3 full years too. We need some damn stability around here.

I would at least "shop" Portis to see what we could get. We could possibly fill a couple of positions with what we could get for him. I think it would also send him a message that no one is indispensable. Even if we did'nt make a deal he would get the message. Portis is a warrior, but the Lions couldn't win but so much with Barry Sanders and no one else, and we can't go but so far with the lines we have. With the trades we've made lately, picks are needed badly. I would definitely give Zorn more time to install his offense and put his own staff in place. I'm not saying we should trade Portis for sure, but lets look at our options. As I've said before, winning has probably made it harder to get our rookies in to see what they can do. Winning now with the same guys is doing nothing for our rookies or our future. Was the goal to just make the playoffs or to improve our team? It would be nice to do both, but really, this team is not strong enough to go very far even if we did make the playoffs.

The first thing I would do is hire a quality football guy to run the show for me, then I would kick back in my plush office, count my money and play Madden and Call of Duty all day.

I got back into COD4 again last week. I'm addicted to hardcore deathmatch.

Also, if I were the owner there would definitely be verbage in every contract that would allow me to lay with the players wives in a marital sense if the players did not preform well enough on the field.

Do you have the new COD? Took me a while to really get into it but now I'm loving it.

AS long as VC is running personnel we are going to make dumb personnel moves

So, now its not blasphemous to role play what if I ran the redskins??????????

What about the beloved Snyder?? Does this scenario have a peacefully transistion in ownership??

I saw another thread started regarding should the skins move to DC.

I hope its just not when my thoughts on those matters are examined with hostility but that people can now discuss those safely.

You've totally lost me. I think you have no concept of separate threads for separate topics apparently.

What Is Right With the Redskins is about trying (if you're capable) of looking at the positives that can be built on with the team

This thread assumes that you have control of the franchise and would look to enact certain changes, or it could mean keeping some things as they are.

I don't know why that's so hard to figure out

[GMScud]

I would build through the friggin draft for god's sake. We wasted a 2nd rounder on Jason Taylor, and now that Erasmus James is gone, we officially pissed away a 7th rounder, too. For anyone who doesn't think that means much, look no further than Chris Horton.

So that's now two draft picks from next year we blew trying to improve a D-line with two players who have netted next to nothing on the field.

I'm so annoyed right now. We'll never learn.

If I owned the Redskins, here is what I would do:


1) Fire everybody - - as in EVERYBODY

2) Hire somebody who knows what he's doing, and then leave him alone to do what he knows how to do

3) Sign the checks for expenses

4) Cash the checks from revenues.


That pretty much covers it.


If I merely ran the Redskins, here is what I would do:


1) Whatever Mr. Snyder [never "Danny Boy"] wanted me to do.


If I didn't do that, I'd be out on my ass in the street without a job.
