e16bball Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just awful news. We were really counting on this kid to take another step forward and take some of the pressure off of Haskins/McLaurin. Really hope he makes a speedy recovery, hopefully aided by a competent surgeon and rehab, and comes back ready to roll in 2021. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovfd55 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I would expect Gandy-Golden to be the other outside wr now.Also gives Cam Sims another chance to take a step up.Also still some vet WR left in FA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) It’s also a sad reminder of one of the points I was trying to make throughout the offseason, which is that you can’t just look at projected starters at a position group (like WR, in this instance) and say “hey, we’ve got McLaurin and Harmon and Sims as the starters, there’s a lot of promise in those three, we don’t have as much need at WR as people say.” Injuries are always a part of this game, which means having real depth is crucial. We’re now looking at a competition between a 4th round FCS rookie, a journeyman who may be headed to jail, and a 6’5 guy with 2 catches in 2 seasons — for the WR2 position. That’s unacceptable for a team trying to develop a young QB, especially when they’ve also totally ignored the TE position. I think them signing Antonio Brown is a real possibility now — and I honestly wouldn’t even be that mad at this point, it might help give Haskins an actual fighting chance.

RSkinGM Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 We're definitely in desperation mode ! I thought about trading a draft pick but we just can't risk the future in our situation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PARROTHEAD Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Sad. Harmon wasnt fast and wasnt quick at cuts to begin with. Hopefully he can get back to 100%. Cause if his leg only gets back to 95% of what it was. He wont make it in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you just can’t send your young QB onto the field with one legitimate weapon in the passing game. Yesterday, ESPN (Bill Barnwell) came out with their “offensive arsenal” rankings. The Redskins were #32 on that ranking, deemed to be on a tier with Jacksonville, significantly lower than the other 30 teams in the league. That was before their WR2 tore his ACL. The worst just got worse. Only an utterly desperate team should even consider toying with the idea of signing AB. But it feels like it’s getting close to desperation o’clock here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thats a no on Antonio Brown from me, dawg. I’d rather have Haskins fail because of a lack of weapons, not because Antonio Brown got in his head and wrecked his mental game. Josh Gordon would make more sense in any way, shape or form.

Great Vegas bet - who would play more games, Brown or Gordon, before one messed up so bad he was kicked off/suspended? Also, was this the big news? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them signing Antonio Brown is a grave mistake. He is a cancer, he tore the Steelers lockeroom apart, he and Rivera would absolutely but heads. He would be taking selfie videos in the lockeroom and posting them on Instagram. The man quit on the Steelers when they needed to win one more game to be playoff eligible in 2018. I used to love him before those antics, but he literary quit on his team. That can not be accepted and I don’t want him around this young team. I would rather see an UDFA play then Antonio Brown on this team. That’s how much I’m against it. I would accept Josh Gordon on this team for the right price bc as @Skins212689 has pointed out and others the weed game suspensions have been turned into fines. He’s not an issue in the lockeroom. But, there’s also WRs too and for the time being we still have Cody Latimer and while he’s not a top end starter he’s a serviceable player. He started only 10 games and had 24 recs, 300 yds & 2 TDs. If he’s starting 16 that’s likely to put him at 40-50 recs, 500 yds and 3-5 TDs. Edited July 14, 2020 by turtle28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbyone Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I feel horrible for him, he had such a big opportunity with us not bringing any vets in. By the way, is Cody Latimer still on the team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSkinGM Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm sure our faux President , General Manager, is on top of this. They'll check with the Head Coach to see who he might like . The 3 of them will come up with a viable option I''m quite sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
