I do think that thrash should see more time on the field because it just seems that he makes the plays when we need them.

So basically what you are saying is he did not report in shape for his first season as a Redskin? Why didn't the guy come in shape when he was traded for? The Redskins traded 2 picks and gave him a $10 million signing bonus to show they were committed to him, yet he did not have the desire to come in last year in shape and ready to produce?

This is why I hate the signing bonuses that are unrelated to perfomance - because even if he does awful this year and the Skins cut him he gets the last laugh in that he has already banked a boatload of cash.

ARE versus Brandon Lloyd for the #2 spot is not a close contest at all.

Lloyd= a few highlights and some absolutley ridiculous catches

ARE= one of the game's most versatile performers, CHAMPIONSHIP EXPERIENCE

If you are talking talent alone, then of course, Lloyd is far more suited to be an apt wideout than ARE. But as far as the #2 goes for our team, I'd rather have someone who was directly responsible for their former team winning a SuperBowl and one who does not bring a lot of drama to the team at that spot...So the real question is Talent versus SuperBowl Rings.
