OT: New Owner! New Name? New Season? New Everything!!! — Oh, and New Thread. All things Washington NFL FootBall (beat it, Dan-Bag!!)

[tycoonheart]

There's a fairly lengthy list of questionable things, maturity wise, that you don't see the successful QBs doing. Painting profanity on his fingernails, refusing to shake the other teams hand after a loss, crying on the sideline and then refusing to speak to media availability (a requirement) afterwards.

Just Google his behavior/character issues, they're well reported.


I'll concede, he's not getting in trouble with the law, or being caught cheating. It's just maturity things, mainly. Still cause for concern when contemplating him at 1 overall.



If you haven't followed him, it's easy to understand the mob mentality. But the reporting about him refusing to go to the bears does fit a pattern of real things he's demonstrated. Not automatic deal breakers, but definitely cause for concern.

Speaking for myself here, but none of those are issues to me. You can find examples of players doing all those things week in and week out. Hell, we loved it when Kittle showed his F Dallas undershirt after scoring a TD.

Didn't he also say awhile back that whatever team drafting him he wanted ownership stake baked into his contract?

If I were you guys Id go after Harbaugh. Guy can develop quarterbacks has a .740 winning percentage, came into a similiar situation in SF. Billy and Petey are too old

That’s who I want. Harbutt. However I don’t think I’m going to get who I want.

 

[Bananas]

Peters, Johnson and Maye?

This could wind up being the most impactful offseason in team history. Obviously, that trio could easily flop, but it sure does have the stink of success if that’s who we get.

 

[John Price]

Unc alumni Johnson and maye

I'm on the record as not being interested in Harbaugh for lots of reasons. But I'll add another one -- I'd rather have a 40-something-year-old in the early part of his career than a 60-year-old nearer the end.
He also strikes me as a guy who could get back to the league and in a couple of years decide, ah, hell, I like college better. Especially now with Saban gone, JH could be the alpha dog there now.

Maybe you west coast guys get more than you want of him than the rest of us do, given the geographic coverage…I don’t hear much bad about him, but then again I don’t care about things like painting his nails.

Have to leave it to Peters now…not even worth getting fired up about potential red flags. The process will hopefully find out if those are just growing pains or real issues.

Well, if he IS truly refusing to play for Chicago, then that is a thing. And not a good one.

I think he’s a tremendous talent. Seen a lot of his games. He will certainly take/need MORE coaching than someone like Maye, IMO….but he’s also got MORE talent than anyone else, but a margin that is noteworthy.

That said, I’d be thrilled w Maye. So we cannot lose, unless Williams doesn’t declare.

Altho — if that does happen, then I’d wager the Bears would just take MHJr. And Maye would still come to DC.

There’s definitely a bit of prospect fatigue going on with Caleb. Every week this year was some new story or drama. Yea, maybe it was more pronounced out here on the west coast.

But there have def been some real eyebrow raisers (mostly from his dad) about breaking the draft system, and wanting an ownership stake in the team where he goes.

It’s gonna be a long four months of rumors and smokescreens, so I’m gonna try not to get sucked in and overact to this stuff, lol. I’ll be curious to see how his pro day/combine go (his real height is a bit of a mystery), as well as what we hear, if anything, about his interviews.

I’m just glad we have a real GM in Peters to decide what is best to do with this pick.

I care about the next 3-5 yrs. I’m not seeing this as a “decade plus” assignment, no matter who it is. Those hardly ever happen. And that’s being greedy, IMO.

I want whomever can do the best with what we have over the next 5yrs. To me, that easily points to Harbutt.

That’s said, I’d be happy w Harbutt, Carroll, Belichick, Vrabel, Johnson, Slowik, MacDonald….not necessarily in that order (save Harbutt #1)

Edit — I forgot about MacDonald (thanks for the reminder @ynotcaps )

My favorites are Johnson and MacDonald, in no order.

Chiefs Dolphins game only on streaming peacock?

It wants me to pay 5.99/mos … its not free if I also pay like 200/mo for cable?

$30 for a year of peacock is a pretty good deal

Every time I see Owusu-Koramoah creating havoc, I die a little inside (ok, that’s over dramatic, LOL).

Stupid f***ing RR and his Jamin Davis “I’m smarter than the rest of the NFL” crap. Many of us wanted O-K. Many.

Makes me angry

 

[John Price]

everyone is talking Ben Johnson but you all seeing slowik now? another Washington coach and Shana lHan disciple

Not this time…not after they were all after his ass (NCAA)…..he retires before going back to college IMO. He could be 5 years and done….

I wanted that guy….kills me.

Poor Browns…..Flacco back to reality.

 

[g00n]

so much for the fantasies about Flacco taking out the Ravens lol

Nobody in the AFC should want to play the Texans. Imagine if Dell were healthy.

Ravens may get Andrews back, though. And Cook is a wild card.

I still have them beating SF in the SB.

You have a great point….JH would really have to be willing to just be the HC here…feels like he could flex and get the total control clause somewhere else, but maybe he’s ok without it….any Interview rumors?

I'd rather pay $0 for no peacock

I'd be mad but I'm at a bar and I get peacock for 3 dollars a month anyway as a Comcast subscriber
