Brandon or T.O. ?

Look, I don't care who we have playing WR. Once they get to that level (NFL) all of them can peform to a satisfactory level, all they have to do is catch the ball when they are thrown to. The guys we have will look like studs as soon as Campbell or whoever the QB is, is not throwing off of his right ass cheek anymore.

As crazy as it sounds, TO would be cheap and amped to beat the Cowgirls and Eagles

Do not sign either of them. We are trying to build a team for the long term. T.O. is too old, but that is actually the least of his problems. We would have to give up too much to get Marshall and he has character problems too.

We need to build from the inside out. If we trade for Marshall, we will have no o-line, which is much more important. Plus, we need to give Thomas and Kelly a shot.

And eventually he would be amped to beat the Redskins a year or two later when he signs with the Giants. Though if it's going to happen T.O. is the more likely choice considering the fact that Marshall is going to net the Bronco's a 1st or early 2nd round pick. God, CP, T.O., and Haynesworth on the same team. Talk about wine and cheese.

Don't see why we would go after either man. IF we were so screwed at WR we will just draft one. But I agree, TO will be cheaper and the Buffalo experience probably had a humbling effect on him as he can see the show is slowly coming to an end for him. At this point the money isn't the primary motivator, as I am sure he wants a ring before he bows out.

Yeah i don't want either, just if we had to pick one.

Still 829 yards with Ryan Fitzgerald as your QB is pretty impressive, especially for a guy with as much mileage as T.O.

[MTK]

Neither.

[Chico23231]

Marshall by far and away.....but Ill take neither at this point if it means giving away draft picks....We need to add a WR with ARE gone. At this point wait for more cuts, I really dont waste another pick on one...we have the youth, lets add a dependable vet for cheap.

[SirClintonPortis]

Like either is going to be coming here...and Shanahan probably believes he could get the WRs we have now to acquire the necessary human capital (gee, a new concept that only economists seem to regard as common knowledge) to be solid producers or better.

If it were one or the other, definitely go with Marshall.

T.O. is well into his thirties. maybe get one or 2 years out of him. Marshall is a guy that can be a part of the franchise for much longer. A much wiser investment.

And T.O. is ALWAYS a model citizen in the first year with a team. Its year 2 and 3 where he becomes a haedache.

I've stopped listening to you in regards to T.O. or Marshall.

Obviously everybody should want Marshall. He's a top ranked WR and still young. The only bad issue with him is what it would take to get him. Clearly a dallas fan would love to see the Skins give up their 1st round pick for a WR.

I'd rather us pick up T.O. cause he would be cheaper. Keep in mind I would only pick him up for a 2 year deal. Thats about as long as he can contain himself. Plus hopefully by then we would know what we have in our WR's and whether we needed to pick up someone else in the draft. Plus picking up T.O. would enable us to look elsewhere prior to being forced to draft a WR.

[SmootSmack]

I like TO. He's a bit odd, but he's basically a pretty good guy...but I'd rather have Brandon Marshall on the field.

But we won't be trading a high pick for him

[CRedskinsRule]

We haven't really brought anyone in who wants a guaranteed starting job. So I doubt either will be given much of a look. This year just seems to me like a chance for Shanahan to find and develop his core group. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Schneed10]

No thanks to TO. Chances are high there won't be football in 2011, and the guy is old as it is. We need to build a young core because we're years away from competing for a title.

I'd love to sign Marshall as a free agent but he's not free. I'd rather make the pick and try to hit it big on the next great WR or offensive lineman to come out of the middle rounds of the draft.
