David Greene Retires

And in his honor, a small haiku.

the third-round draft pick
they thought, better than barber?
who runs for cowboys

quarterback wins are
useless indicators and
college greene proved this

"more wins than manning"
not unlike rex grossman in
that one super bowl

but we enjoyed him
missing the targets in camp
preseason fumbles

soon seattle will
draft next franchise quarterback
can ruskell do this?

As someone said

it’s hard to feel sorry for him… He’s a god at… Georgia? And he can always go back there and start his career as a an assistant coach, and who knows, after a few years he can be the next Sark.

i thought Jim Zorn

was the one who really lobbied for the drafting of Greene? If so, good luck on the draft this year Redskins. Although I might be remembering completely wrong here, but that sticks in my head for some reason.

Nobody wants to take credit for the logic behind drafting Greene.

That's ok,

they have Campbell for several years. Drafting a QB is a fickle really hard thing to do consistently well anyways. Even Ichiro/Pujols /Dimaggio strikes out every once in a while.

Don't forget God Brennan!

Especially after that rumor the Redskins haven’t decided on extending Campbell’s contract because they aren’t entirely sure if they’ve committed to him as the franchise QB.
