smoot's future

That Guy · 09-02-2006, 08:00 AM

jesus, chill. smoot isn't getting cut cause he's still a good corner. he's not a #1.

Are you so pissed cause he left or causse he got paid? I don't get it. There's endless streams of players worse than him, and a whole ton who get paid more too. And if you want to bitch about overpaid guys, there are also a lot of names above his (see jeff george). It's like you spun a wheel, and the name landed on smoot so now he's gotta die. I don't get it.

I can't believe anyone is getting so worked up about a cornerback who was in Washington a couple of years ago. He's moved on, why can't you?

Why can't we all just get along?

Let it be said Smoot would make our team and play often if it was based on talent alone. Williams would maximize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses like he does all the players. He probably isn't a #1 corner but that doesn't mean he is a bad player. He played well for us and got someone to pay him big money when the redskins didn't want to. Please relax you are scaring me.

3rd ID soldier -- find me one instance of Smoot badmouthing this organization. When he left DC he actually talked about how he LOVED DC and didn't want to leave. The Redskins refused to pay him (which was stupid, in my opinion) so he went to Minnesota where they offered him a very solid contract.

I'd love to have Smoot back in D.C. Especially with Rogers looking like he's just not quite ready (though I really like what I see, he just needs some more work on timing) and Springs injured/getting older.

Smoot was one of them few Redskins that thought like a fan. He openly admitted he hated the Dallas Cowboys, which in my book is enough to pay a player. We overpay all these free agents like Archelletta, Trotter, etc. Yet we can't offer a draft pick, solid starter, and a guy that loves the organization and team a decent contract because he would be getting paid more than our #1 corner? Welcome to the era of the salary cap, as the cap goes up, so do the salaries. Worst move Joe Gibbs made while in DC was letting Smoot walk.

Smoot just wasn't a good fit in this defense. GW likes corners that are physical and can hit. Smoot is not that type of corner.

Defensewins · 09-02-2006, 11:38 AM

Smoot is not a complete corner, so he is not deserving of #1 corner money. If Smoot does not rework his deal sometime in the near future, he will eventually be cut and replaced by somebody cheaper & with better skills.

I was never crazy about Smoot when he was here. I am glad we did not overpay to keep him a few years back.

Serviceable? Yes.

Great corner? No.

His skills are diminishing.
No need to hate the guy though.

does anyone besides me know what made fred smoot good when he was here? That answer is Champ Bailey. Champ covered most teams number one reciever and that left fred covering whoever else was out there.

Thread to no where:

If if wasn't for Smoot, and then Smoot leaving, TheWarpath.net would not have TAFKAS!

I think his "bone head" was the reason he threw the "love boat".

In all seriousness, I still like smooty... fun player to watch on and off the field.

dmek25 · 09-02-2006, 08:18 PM

dont get me started on champ overrated bailey. i saw all i needed last season when T.O. walked around bailey like he was an orange pylon for about an 80 yard touchdown. close to mike vick as far as being the nfl's most over rated player
