as George allen ,an old redskins coach said ,when he traded almost all the skins draft picks away for the over the hill gang. THE FUTURE IS NOW.he believed draft picks take too long to develop and many never do, so he traded his picks for old players he knew could play

 

Good point.  Yet Redskins gave up all draft picks for RGIII  as well.  Thoughts how to win now vary, but it IS the mindset, no doubt.

not what allen did,present day skins traded draft picks to get a higher unproven pick,old skins under allen ,only traded his picks for proven players not higher picks and it worked for him

Oh, I agree! I'm just saying everyone feels pressurer to win now, but what each HC feels it takes to get it may very.. sometimes wildly!  Allen vs. Shanahan,,,  With Washington Redskins.

I think taking a chance with DHB though was worth a shot. He is a proven speedster and former 1st rounder, even if Oakland did draft him too early. Luck has a huge arm, and they could have worked a lot of magic together, but problem is we rarely deep bomb, and I'm concerned now that even if we would, DHB would just drop it like in that last game where the pass hit him square in the chest.

imo reggie working with dhb will fix whats wrong, dhb  is going to help us , don't give up

    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
    • Sir, I was just trying to help you out. No good deed goes unpunished!
