I could tell you another story about a team that could have had..Charles Woodson..Fred Taylor..Tra Thomas..Randy Moss..Alan Faneca etc, but chose to draft a Franchise QB with the #2 pick instead...Ryan Leaf.

No sh*t, and this time I dont want another "safe" pick like Berry. F him. Id say spend the entire draft on our pathetic, sh*tty offense.

Sounds about right for an o-lineman

Do you think that's the only reason for his opinion?

Right. It's no secret whether you played o-line or not. Even Bruschi could see that.

Bradford's weight could have him flying up the boards - Shutdown Corner - NFL Blog - Yahoo! Sports

Bradford puts on 13 lbs of muscle to impress scouts

It hasn't occurred to anyone that maybe we'll be running a lot of spread offense formations. I mean it's known that Shanahan spent time attending Patriots' practices studying what they do. And the Pats run a lot of the spread offense with Brady in the shotgun. Or that he spent time with Urban Meyer learning about his spread offense. And not to mention the Texans (where Kyle Shanahan just was) ran a lot of spread offense formations.

And then on top of all that is the fact that Bradford has shown (his freshman year) that he can also be successful behind center.

In conclusion, Bradford will do just fine...and if you're concerned about him just draft Jevan Snead!

that is a good point. i do remember reading that when Shannahan was hired.

Spread offense! What's funny is Colt would be the ultimate spread offense guru. Maybe there is something to Shanny liking what he see's of Colt?

Just the turn this needed

and I'm not even fully joking haha

It seems to me that the Redskins are in a catch 22. Or should we call it catch 4-12. Their quarterback didn't play well enough for them to win more than 4 games but their offensive line was so horrible that the quarterback wasn't able to play any better.

So I look at it this way...

I haven't seen one person that has said Washington had a good line. I would like to see someone argue that they had an average line. Good offenses have good offensive lines. Even the people who played on the line said they were bad (Mike Williams interview).

Washington has a proven formula that great lines can turn average quarterbacks into Super Bowl MVPs, so as much as everyone says we need a "franchise quarterback" I disagree. Conversely, a bad line can turn a franchise QB into a bum.

Pass on Bradford and commit to our proven formula.

I kind of hate hearing this, not that I don't think that we should focus heavily on the line, but the past is the past. We've had great lines and not come close to approaching the Super Bowl, much less getting into it or winning it. Samuels-Jansen didn't get us there and we had a very good line at the time. We didn't have any good answer at QB though.

It's a different league now. The Vikings have easily had a top 3 line over the past few years but with Tavaris Jackson at QB they barely inched into the playoffs. Heck the reason we were able to get into the playoffs in 2007 was in playing the Vikings all we had to do was stack the box. Bret Farve comes in and suddenly the Vikes are a Super Bowl contender, not to mention the fact that Sidney Rice goes from bust to pro bowler.

Also I'd like to point out that in 2007 we had a legitimate shot at making it to the Super Bowl thanks to Collins playing like a man possessed.
