I almost thought Greg was going to be right them he gave his reason young won't be traded before the deadline. The real reason is Washington would be dumb to trade an elite talent at his absolute lowest value when they hope to compete this year anyway. Play him and hope he regains form to where you either get a haul at the deadline or re-sign him after the season
Agreed.
Christ, his problem was that he is a bad coach that thinks he is smarter than everyone else.
If we are talking the entire package, with the current roster, I would have to lean Forte. Forte in today's NFL would be even better than he was in the 2010's and a top 3 receiving RB would be invaluable to Fields. Plus Marshall clearly would not be able to not melt down at some point in a 5 year span when he was young and in his prime.
But you gong to pay Allen, Payne, Sweat and Young 80m combined. Seems like a surefire way to be the Lovie Smith Bears 7-11 games but never being a serious contender.
They are both great choices, but I’m still on Marshall. With his height and strength, he was always open. Also, he was a devastating run blocker and this team loves to run the football.
Yeah that was what I thought this past year too with payne, so what do I know.
Wasn’t it also true though that teams with Marshall never made the playoffs? Forget winning in the playoffs, they never even made it to the playoffs
Are you suggesting that Marshall was the reason his team didn’t make the playoffs? Who was the best QB he played with in his prime?
Was he the sole reason? No, of course not. Doesn’t mean that wasn’t something weird there and he was a part of it.
I guess they track and analysis everything. Interesting
Well said, Nagy is a self absorbed idiot! Worst most stubborn coach I'v ever seen.
Oh Commanders may still do it but not smart business IMO.
I think that would be a phenomenal group. The only reason I would choose Forte over Marshall is because he brings something the Rb group doesn’t have. He was a do it all RB. He would open up the Wrs and TEs more. Brining in Marshall almost makes it too much of a crowded room. That might lead to temper tantrums from him.
Bradley Chubb was traded at the deadline last year. He had 5.5 sacks in his first 8 games. Denver received a late 1st (pick 29) and a 4th-rounder. Chubb received a 5 year $110M contract from Miami. If Young gets off to a similar start what do the Commanders and Young get in trade/contract?
Probably something similar. That's why I can't imagine them trading him before the season
