How about the biggest Shanny trade that sent Champ Bailey to Denver for Portis and we gave Denver a 2nd rd pick. It was a win for both teams but damn why give up a 2nd rd pick. Even then Shanny was getting the better of player trades.

Even a st. up trade Bailey for Portis was a steal for Denver IMO. Look who's still playing. Shanny knew the value of a shut-down CB (best in NFL at time) and how relatively easy the RB position is to fill. Gibbs was not yet up to speed in personnel at the time, but in his defense Portis at his best took on a lot & gave us some memories.

You gotta think that is a move the organization has considered, especially if us peons are pondering it.

I hope the McNabb trade is soon forgotten. We needed a short term fix while we figured out our QB problem. We as fans did something we rarely do, and thats stand by our coach and GM and sure enough they got us 12 picks this year and according to the article, some key contributers in this still developing system. On paper, McNabb had a chance to get us to the playoffs and his success in Philly fooled us. After his opening performance in Minny, its obvious he was simply a product of the system. I think as long as Snyder lays off, one or two more off seasons like we had this year will lead to us being major contenders in the league.

Maybe some of you knew this already, maybe some of you just didn't put it all together but someone on another message board posted this info which honestly shocked me cause I never thought about it. Maybe because just about every game of the Skins the announcers find a way to slip in the fact the Skins have had numorous HC's and QB's through the years and have not been to a championship game in so long due to it. But they never mention that there is another team out there with the same almost exact stats, numbers, or whatever. Take a look.....

Strange similarities between the Cowboys and Redskins.
The Cowboys are the NFL's most valuable franchise, according to Forbes' latest rankings. The Redskins are right behind at 2nd place.



The Cowboys have won only one playoff game over the past 14 seasons. The Redskins have won two playoff games in that same timeframe.



Neither team has advanced beyond the Divisional Playoffs since 1995.



The Cowboys have had five different head coaches since 1998. The Redskins have had six different head coaches in that same timeframe.



The Redskins have the NFL's 2nd-largest stadium by seating capacity. The Cowboys have the 3rd-largest.




The Cowboys and Redskins have two of the NFL's most despised and discussed/newsworthy owners, Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder.




The Cowboys have had 15 different quarterbacks start games for them since the 1997 season. The Redskins have also had 15 different quarterbacks starting games for them in that same timeframe as well.

Feel free to rub this info in the face of you favorite Dallas friend whenever possible. lol. Namely during Redksins vs. Dallas week.

I also hear that Fat AL is working out for .... lazy Boy ( Chairs ) . Maybe the ad will sound something like " When you are tired of rolling around on the ground like a beached whale " , try Lazy Boy for a relaxing evening at home

Kerrigan is making plays despite having a ****ton of information to digest and process. Imagine what he'll be like when it becomes second nature to him. I told ya'll, having TWO big name pass rushers in a 3-4 is actually not that common. At the very least, I saw Kerrigan as a #1b to the #1a(Rak)

I really like what Shanny has done!
