How To Build a Losing Team
The
list of players cut by the Redskins who are now playing key roles on playoff teams is impressive. It starts with the quarterback: Washington waived Rich Gannon, this years MVP, and also Brad Johnson, who led Tampa Bay to success with 22 TDs against 6 ints and a strong 92.9 rating. But the top QB on the Skins's depth chart is Danny
Wuerffel, who in 6 seasons has 12 TDs, 22 picks, 52.6% completions, and an anemic 56.4 rating. Ouch!
Other former Skins who played big roles on playoff teams this season include James Thrash, Brian Mitchell, Shawn Barber, Frank Wycheck, Dana Stubblefield, Derek Smith, and Dave Szott. All were cut rather than traded. (Link from Ben Domenech.)
