Revisiting Sam the Redskin

Fact: The Rams suck. Fact: The Colts suck too but they don't suck as bad as the Rams. Possibility: The Rams and Colts both end up with 2 wins and thus the top pick in the draft goes to St. Louis. Theory: The Rams will try to trade both Sam Bradford and the top pick and figure out which deal is in the best interest of their franchise. Liklihood: The deals for Luck will be better then for Bradford for two reasons: Thanks to the new CBA-Luck's deal won't cost anything close to what the Rams paid to get Bradford and while Bradford was considered a possible franchise quarterback, pundits are describing Luck as once in a generation.

So lets say the Rams decide what's in the best interest for them is to move Bradford and select Luck, should the Redskins go after Sam?

That's where this gets very interesting. Sam Bradford has Native American heritage. So, would he openly object to playing for a team called the Redskins? If he didn't openly object to playing for a team called the Redskins, would native American activist groups (none of which come to mind as having the ability of being heard but that's not important right now) come forward to admonish Bradford for not openly objecting for playing for a team called the Redskins?

Do the Redskins like a quarterback who has won little and been hurt a lot? I don't know. Do they think he has a bigger upside then Rex/Beck? If they didn't, the nation should openly object to Mike Shanihan coaching the Redskins.

Maybe the better question is: Do the Redskins want to pursue Sam Bradford?

  1. I will admit that I was suddenly *really* embarrassed to be wearing my Skins jersey when I went to see the new MLK Jr. memorial after the Jets game. What sounds like namby pamby, overly PC musings are pretty serious questions when you're in the moment -- and apparently a tribe member.

    On your final question, however, my guess is no, not interested.
