Redskins lost 3 first rd picks, still as talented

muhajir : 11/26/2014 9:23 am
The RGIII experiment looks like a huge failure and it cost the redskins 3 first rd picks. You would think that would be crippling for a franchise if the QB didnt turn out to be a superstar and make up for that deficit in talent.

But looking at the Redskins team, they have the same record as the Giants, and frankly just as talented a roster if not a better one then the Giants. I cant wrap my head around how that's possible with them not having their first rd picks the past 3 yrs.
Please explain how they are as talented or in better shape

Huh?  
BigBlueShock : 11/26/2014 9:33 am : link
That's just some stupid ass logic. What exactly do the other 50 players on the roster have to do with the past 3 first round picks? What makes more sense is, last two years first round picks:

Giants- Justin Pugh and ODB
Redskins-

And the Redskins still have no idea who their QB is, so there's that...

this article...

Quote:
Last Friday, many players showed their immaturity by shouting as Griffin attempted to speak with reporters in the locker room, ignoring a high-ranking team official’s repeated requests to tone it down. And even after Griffin and reporters moved into a hallway, players continued shouting, prompting the official to leave Griffin and address the ringleaders.

Jason Reid is a sports columnist with the Washington Post. He joined the Post’s Redskins team in 2007 after 15 years covering many beats at the Los Angeles Times. View
Griffin appeared embarrassed by the unprofessionalism of his teammates, who clearly demonstrated a lack of respect for Washington’s supposed franchise quarterback. You think Peyton Manning or Tom Brady have to flee their own locker rooms to conduct interviews? Griffin isn’t universally beloved — few players are on any team — but his popularity had little do to with the clown antics...


then these tweets:

@jreidpost: Option not set yet. Don't know what cap is next year, which is part of complicated formula for determining 2016 options.

@jreidpost: But he's looking at something approaching $16 million.

@jreidpost: Don't pay any attention to that nonsense about Robert still being in their long-term plans. Trying to prop up publicly to trade him.

@jreidpost: Dude has been benched to end consecutive seasons. Gruden is done with him.

@jreidpost: This isn't all on Robert. Just like it wasn't all on Campbell, or Shanny or Zorn or even Vinny.

@jreidpost: There are forces in the building that make failure inevitable. Believe that.

@jreidpost: Talking with a team source last month, I asked him how he thought this would end. "Soon and badly," he said. "Like most things [here]."

@jreidpost: As for Robert potentially being a backup next season, I mean, c'mon people. Do you think Gruden wants that circus? Time for clean break.

@jreidpost: Often talking with Kyle, I got the sense he was more frustrated than angry with Robert. He didn't understand why Robert shut him out.

@jreidpost: Robert never acknowledged the role Kyle had in his success.

@jreidpost: Now, don't get me wrong. Kyle ain't Churchill. There are better communicators out there. But he didn't deserve what he got from 10. Truth.

@jreidpost: Many moons ago, I sat in the elder Shanny's office as he laid out the problems with 10. As I think back, Shanny was planning exit then.

@jreidpost: I bet Shanny is having a good glass of red, counting Dan's money and laughing. He's got a lot of money to count.

@jreidpost: Elder Shanny wanted to take things slowly with 10 after surgery. But there was the whole all-in-for-week-one nonsense and Robert, feeling

@jreidpost: Empowered by the owner, flexed his muscles behind the scenes. Shanny saw where it was headed, got fired and got paid. True gangster style.

He's not saying Washington is talented, as in they have a significant amount of it and praising them.

He's saying they and the Giants have roughly equal talent levels despite the Giants having more high draft picks lately... Which isn't some ridiculous statement, unfortunately. Both teams significantly lack talent and are terrible, except one is terrible in spite of having an alleged franchise QB in his prime and the other has a current dumpster fire at QB.

They made the playoffs more recently than the Giants have and currently have the same record as they do. They just didn't have quite the same luck last year to run up against a bunch of QBs that didn't even belong in the NFL, really.

They're a horrible franchise and so long as Snyder owns them, no success will ever be sustained and any coach that signs on there is writing their career's obit, but at this moment, their collective talent level and the Giants' aren't all that favorably different and that's a pretty salty punch, given how we're supposed to run/function significantly better than they do.

DeSean Jackson, Alfred Morris, Pierre Garcon, Jordan Reed on offense.

I'd take top 11 in offense and defense with bad QB play than historically bad defense and moderately average on offense with a franchise/potential future HOF QB.

They are certainly not less talented overall.

Section331 : 11/26/2014 10:51 am : link
but Reid's tweets are enlightening. Kyle was key to RGIII's early success; the offense he designed for Bob was borderline brilliant. Sure, it wasn't a long term plan, but I don't think either Shanahans intended it to be.

And that organization will be a disaster for as long as Snyder owns it.

- Big Slot CB corner signing lost for the year
- 2 other CBs lost for the year
- 2 safeties lost for the year
- Star RB signing lost for a big chunk of the season
- #1 WR lost for the year

So, yeah, the guys left aren't the most talented.

Actually it was  
muhajir : 11/26/2014 11:39 am : link
3 first rd picks, a 2nd rd pick and another lower rd pick that they gave up. So 4 premium picks.

As for the talent...their offense is hands down more talented...and their D is about the same talent wise, maybe a hair worse on paper but better performance wise.
Dallas and Philly have pulled away, we should have too.

The truth is, some of you would absolutely love to be Redskins fans...  
Britt in VA : 11/26/2014 12:51 pm : link
that is, until the season started year in, year out.

The Redskins make the type of moves that fans clamor for. The Haynesworth's, the RG3's, etc...

Fan moves.

Case in point, a buddy of mine wanted RG3 so desperatlely in the months leading up to the draft he would have traded anything for him. And the Redskins did. And he was happy.

That is a cycle that repeats itself every year in Washington. Fans see, fans want, Redskins get. Rinse, repeat.

That is why the Redskins always suck.

Yes, the Giants suck now, but they will get better again. The Redskins will be in this same cycle in five years, after the Giants have more pelts on the wall.
Oh for the love of crumb cake  
rsjem1979 : 11/26/2014 1:26 pm : link
First off, trading up to get Griffin didn't cost the Redskins 3 first round picks, it cost them 2 first round picks, they acquired the Rams 1st round pick to draft Griffin - get it right, moron.

That same year, the Giants drafted 32nd because they won the damn Super Bowl. That draft pick is retired because of a neck injury.

Secondly, I want to read some specific examples of the Redskins talent edge. Let's see it.
Technically they used three first round picks.  
Britt in VA : 11/26/2014 2:59 pm : link
They burned the one to draft him, and then they didn't have a first round pick for two years after, three total first round picks.
This takes the cake  
Emil : 11/26/2014 6:32 pm : link
Seriously!

So I assume since you think the skins are more talented than the Giants that you would prefer the Giants were in the skins shoes roster wise? Have you watched Washington play this year? Did you remember how the Giants dominated them in September? Clearly this season has brought out the insanity in our fan base.
Again, if the Skins are so inferiorly talented, then the Giants are

I'm not sure how that works.





That's impressive considering they have had Colt McCoy and Kirk Cousins running their offense all year. Better than the Giants on both accounts.


DeSean Jackson, Alfred Morris, Pierre Garcon, Jordan Reed on offense.

I'd take top 11 in offense and defense with bad QB play than historically bad defense and moderately average on offense with a franchise/potential future HOF QB.

They are certainly not less talented overall.

Cherry picking ggames. Doesn't prove a point because then jets > steelers. Chiefs > pats etc.
We've lost first round picks too

We basically had none in 2008 and 2012 because of where we picked, but we did actually lose Phillips, Nicks & Wilson.

Hey, they gambled and they lost. Imagine if Jerry Jones actually made a similar deal to grab Johnny Football?
