Are you serious? He didn't see the field because he wasn't brought in to be a starter. Gibbs didn't want to step on anyones fingers even though he clearly was a good player for us when he was in.

This is moot especially since like you said he didn't get to see the field. PLUS all of our WR's had down years. So expecting a WR who didn't get on the field and wasn't even in for training camp to put up spectacular numbers is crazy.
Nobody is saying he's a beast but he was cheap and effective. We lack solid depth at the position and are one injury away from being screwed.
He wasn't even in uniform for weeks. McCardell was ahead of him untill he got injured. 10 yds/catch isn't spectacular. For a WR it is pathetic.
If it gets the job done, it's fine. I recall him making some clutch catches when needed on 3rd downs, which is the ultimate goal on 3rd... get the 1st.
...any given Sunday....
RIP #21 Sean Taylor. You will be loved and adored by Redskins fans forever!!!!!

The National Anthem sucks.
What a useless piece of propagandist rhetoric that is.
GSPODS wrote:$645,000 is very reasonable for a veteran wide receiver, even as an emergency receiver. I have to believe the Redskins have another plan of action. If not, I'll add this to my Cerrato Knows Nothing and here's the list to prove it list.
Vinny seems to be doing some decent things so far, I'm pleased....or moreso indifferent. To be honest I'm still jaded to football after the tragedy.

The guy was solid. When he was given time, he excelled. The fact that ARE was our #2 IMO shows me that that staff didn't know what they were doing inregards to that position. As soon as Zorn stepped into town he put ARE right where he belongs....in the slot.
Again, according to Redskins Insider we offered him more money in a one-year deal. Something else had to be up with this move. . .maybe Saunders told Caldwell that he'd get a better shot (career-wise) in St. Louis.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I haven't been scouring the news like I usually do... I figure it's a combo of that and him not wanting to learn another system.
