Hankerson/Golston Placed on IR; Darrion Scott and Stallworth Re-Signed

Okay can we please call it a day so we can get ready to actually rebuild instead of this reload crap? I swear it's like an alcoholic that quits hard liquor but is still willing to drink beer

Hankerson to IR with Labrum Tear - Hogs Haven

I would kill to hear the Ted Leonis speech when he decided the Caps were going to rebuild.

1. Ask yourself the big question: "Can this team--as constructed--ever win a championship?" If the answer is yes -- stay the course and try to find the right formula -- if the answer is no, then plan to rebuild. Don't fake it--really do the analytics and be brutally honest. Once you have your answer, develop the game plan to try to REALLY win a championship. Always run away from experts that say, "We are just one player away." Recognize there is no easy and fast systemic fix. It will be a bumpy ride--have confidence in the plan--"trust and verify: the progress -- but don't deviate from the plan."

Love Ted and the Caps.

I think we are in "rebuilding" though regardless if anyone will admit it. MS knows this. That's why we drafted like we did last year. He knows and we gotta give this regime a couple/few more drafts.

Yes, I hate to always say next year...but next year we'll be better. We'll have some guys back, some guys w/ more experience and another draft under our belts that will include a QB.

Pearls of economic and social wisdom. Dude is a very wise man, even if I hate the team he owns.

Who cares what it's called? It's semantics. We are already in rebuilding mode, that's what sucks even more about losing a guy like Hank, who needs all the time he can get. In fact I thought Shanny's playing the rookies so much is a pretty good indication of what he's trying to do lately, even though he won't say "rebuild."

Coaches hate the word rebuilding because it insinuates that losing is acceptable.

I agree, who cares what it's called, it's obvious what's going on.

I feel though that this was a fan base that was sick and tired of the whole "we're just a few players away from winning" which the team was not, and was clamoring for a rebuilding team. I would rather have a rebuilding team since MS first day, than the crap we are seeing this year.
