All I was trying to say was last preseason{after lack of scoring points} half the board was freaking out,the other half said it was gonna be cool,that its too early to tell yet either way,but if are scoring troubles continue thru preseason then were probably in big trouble (unless of course our def is kick ass and holds opponents to under 14 points a game}

![]() Can we wait a couple of weeks to have this conversation? It makes no sense to be making generalizations/projections after the first team O has had all of two offensive series. Let's see a couple more games first.

The Lions won their first game. They were UNDEFEATED last year in preseason.
End of discussion.

Re: Preseason Game 1 Quick Hitters: First of all, calm the hell down
I guess I'm wondering how all the folks saying "calm down, it's just the preseason" would be acting if our offense came out and lit it up against the Ravens. My guess is the majority wouldn't be calm at all. We'd probably be 16-0 already. It goes both ways.
On a side note, the Giants first teamers looked pretty damn good last night. They ran roughshod over a Panthers D with Peppers, Gamble, etc all in the game. And their D was all over the Panthers QBs. I think their receiving game is going to be a work in progress with all those young and inexperienced guys, but it would really be nice to see our starters march down and score like theirs did, even if it is "just the preseason."

If preseason meant anything, Colt Brennan would be the reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Super Bowl MVP.

Patriots: 18 picks; 1 starter; 3 2nd on depth chart (12 cuts) Colts: 16 picks; 4 starters; 2 backups (1 cut) Giants: 13 picks; 4 starters; 2 backups (2 cuts) Steelers: 15 picks; 2 starters, 2 backups (8 cuts) Skins: 15 picks; 1 starter and 5 backups (5 cuts) Other than the Patriots, I see more starters and I would argue, better quality backups. I respectively disagree with your conclusion. I love the Skins but I don't blindly go along with everything they do. The Skins have a problem with there depth. If you can't see that, you are looking through blinders.

Better quality backups I suppose is up for debate. For example, I think Montgomery and Golston (basically starters until this year) are quality backups. Others may think otherwise. I don't think the Steelers have really had much more success than us in the mid to late rounds. We're just talking one more starter. But anyway, I believe what you said was that they consistenly find quality starters that we do not. I guess I took that to mean that you thought a high percentage of those draft picks are starters. When in reality that doesn't seem to be the case. At the end of the day (it is what it is) I don't think we have performed significantly worse (or different) than the elite teams. In fact, I thought the complaint has always been "We draft well for the most part, why don't we keep more of our picks?"

It's all academic though -- whether it's building your team through free agency or the draft, the Lombardi trophies are enough proof that the Giants, Steelers, Pats, and Colts are clearly better at evaluating talent than the Redskins front office. |

Personally, I think getting quality backups is part talent and part luck. I mean who knew Horton would be starter after being picked in the 7th round? Who knew Brady would be a Pro Bowler/HOF'er after being selected in the later rounds? I think for the most part, our team is building through the draft (except that people want to see instant results), has picked up quality free agents (Fletch, AH, DHall), and is making an effort to keep their draft picks. But they have also had bad luck (J. Taylor) and are still dealing with some of the consequences of bad decisions in the past.

Re: Preseason Game 1 Quick Hitters: First of all, calm the hell down
In todays FA its hard to build through the draft. you draft em,build em up and then in 3-4yrs you have to break the bank or they leave. -See Derrick Dockery-
