atleast spurrier got em laverneous coles. I'm not sure the cap hell the skins are in for. but they have an awful lot of talent u gotta imagine that someone could go in there and coach up some victories.

Atlanta has the inside path on Smith. Blank has stated how much he likes Lovie in the past and Lovie seems to be leaning towards the Falcons.

Because he was able to get rid of Davis. I'd rather take Davis over Coles if I was the Redskins. |
I think coles worked out really well. especially considering that peerless didn't.
I'd probably take coles.

Davis was a cornerstone of that Skins team everyone thought had a chance. Now he is the cornerstone of the Panthers who suck on most offensive fronts. What ever happened to Westbrook? I thought he was a sure star in the NFL.

Well again for the most case the NFL had a pretty good group of teams this year. Any team could have won on any given week, well except for my godforsaken Raiders, they just plain sucked this year. They even sucked by losing, the Chargers still get the first pick next year due to schedule.
The playoffs will be the true test, hopefully some underdogs get some big wins and make it exciting.

Not many. The only ones I can think of are Tennessee (George), New England (Smith/Faulk), and Dallas (Hambrick). Philly, which didn't have a 1000 yard back had THREE good backs (two which have run for a 1000 yards before and Westbrook who looks like he can be a future 1000 yard runner).
TWO of those teams have very good QBs (Brady and McNair) and Dallas is a credit to Parcells.
The 'Skins have an above average QB with a good WR core and crappy RBs. Sorry, but they would have been a MUCH better team if they kept Davis and passed on Coles. They probably would have been close to .500 again. A great running back is worth more than a great WR, because the RB gets a minimum level of carries, while a WR may not make a catch or have anything thrown to him. |
they would have been a better team if they kept davis BUT ONLY BECAUSE THEIR ALTERNATIVE WAS LADELL BETTS. I think I mentioned something like this in my prior post.
the eagles, cowboys, patriots, titans all lack stud backs. thats 4/12.

Yeah so? What, you expect every team to have a great back as a backup? THEY KNEW THEIR ALTERNATIVE WAS BETTS. Hell, in fact, they thought Candidate would be as good as Davis. They already had decent wide recievers which is why the 'Skins should have kept Davis and passed on Coles.
quote:

4/12 = 33%. That means 66% of teams have a stud back.
I don't think the Eagles should be listed with this group anyway. The Eagles had the 8th best rushing offense in the NFL. They just used 3 backs to get it.
And Dallas was 12th!
quote:
Give just about any QB that and they'll throw some nice passes |
No, not really. Most QBs have at least 3 seconds and can't make the passes. Ramsey's got at least half a second less than that. He's a decent QB with a nice arm. He can be really good in this league. |
I think I already said that they shouldn't have given away davis. I dont know what more u want? u want to force me to use spurriers team as proof that u can't win w/o a rb and playaction?
and about the eagles. they nonetheless dont have a stud back=[. they're just a damn good team.

No you didn't. You basically said they should have given away Davis, because without giving away Davis there was no way in Hell they could afford Coles... and you said you'd rather have Coles than Davis. QED.
quote:

Doesn't matter... they do have a good running attack. A stud back HELPS immensely, but is not required for one. For Washington, Steven Davis was required for one. |
no I said I would take coles over davis. but if u haven't noticed or have been too zealous to read. in atleast 3 posts I said that I wouldn't have if I was the redskins cuz there was no1 behind davis....
if u'd stop looking for things to flame u'd see what I'm saying and we wouldn't need 80 posts to hammer it out.
