What Winners did Shanny bring here to DC?

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

I think the term "winner" is stupid.

One question is this though: Who are Shanahan's "guys?"

The thing I always found interesting about Parcells is that when he took his show to a new team, he would immediately sign three or four players from one of his old stomping grounds. Dave Megget. Brian Cox, Jumbo Elliot. There are others I'm forgetting. These guys seemed to serve the role of leader, informer, and sounding board for Parcells. Did Shanny bring any "guys" in? Does he have any "guys?"

I like this. He brought those guys in to show the rest of the team the "Parcells way." I don't think we have any Broncos player from his last 3 years in Denver. I'm not sure any of them are still in the league.

Pretty much. How do you expect to win when no one knows how to win.

If the players were big parts of those winning teams, then why would the winning teams let them go?

[Skinsfan In NM]

I don't agree with the idea that we have to go get some players that were "winners". For one if they were a crucial enough component of the team they won with they would still be there, or would have cost us a fortune. Two, just because you were part of a winning team doesn't mean you were part of the formula that caused the team to be a winner.

Instead for me I want Mike to bring in players that are hungry for wins. Who are ready to go out there like a Jerry Rice and give up everything they have on the field each week. Show up early, leave late kind of guys. Espically in our leaders. The better question for this thread would have been do we have folks like that now. My answer for the most part would have to be no, we don't. With the exception of Robert, and Alfred we seem to have no one with any excitement at all. And no I don't consider some hot headed actions after plays are done to be excitement. I want guys out there trying to pump each other up. Offensive guys cheering on the Defense, not sitting on the bench down trodden, looking like someone just stole their ice cream. That above and beyond all else is one of the biggest things we are missing as an NFL club. Well that and a defense that could even manage to stop a pop warner team.

To add to the sentiment posters have expressed about the quality and cost of players that leave SB winning teams, how many guys have we seen go to or even win a SB and then leave their team for a big contract only to disappoint?

Dexter Jackson? Antwan Randel-El? David Givens? David Patten? Deon Branch?

Yuck! I spoke too soon. Forgot about Marshall also. But I was thinking more along the lines of older veterans with 10+ years of experience.

this is a weird thread ... how does this matter at all?

Harbaugh is whooping larges amounts of ass and he took over a roster with ALL losers

Mike Smith took over a team with no winners, all he's done is whoop ass.

Hell, Belichek brought over Moss, Welker, Corey Dillon ... all non-winners, how did they do? not bad.

[AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy]

How many of our fans are winners?

I apologize for being born a year after our last sb lol

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

Don't know about winners but when it comes to playmakers I would say half of the "playmakers" are Vinny guys. Maybe can add Paulsen to the list if he keeps it up

Shanny:
RG3
Kerrigan
Alfred Morris
Trent Williams

Vinny:
Fred Davis
London Fletcher
Orakpo
Hall (When his head is screwed on right)

Being a bad fan has nothing to do with age.

Fletcher is done. Hall is crap and gives up more plays than he makes. ANYONE would have picked Orakpo.
