… of course it doesn’t help when the Mara’s steal your money.

Opinions change mightily from week to week

Their biggest problem is going to continue to be the OC also having the last name of Shanahan. He’s never had a job in his life he would have gotten if his name was Kyle Smith, son of John Smith an average guy with no football ties. If he just does what Daddy tells him to do, things may still turn out okay. Problem is, he’s got a chip on his shoulder, he alienates people, and you get the feeling the day will come when his QB is going to know way more football than he does. That day may even be already here.

And this last game the team flat out gave up. Even under Jim Zorn you didn’t see that.

Firing Kyle Shannahan isn’t going to heal Garcon’s toe or Davis’ knee.

The team isn’t perfect and could use a little more building in the draft, but is really improving. The Redskins need to draft someone that can provide some impact in the pass rush, a safety that can stay healthy, a corner so the can dump D Hall, and some speed on the offensive side of the ball.

Blowing it all up every two-four years isn’t how you build a successful franchise.

A few points.
1. What he said
2. What he said
3. Fact: The Redskins have had more draft picks start games in the last two years than any other team in the NFL. I’m aware that may say more about the quality of the team itself than the quality of the draft picks, but as Nevada said, Washington has gone from the oldest team in the NFL when Shanny took over in 2010 to the second youngest team in the league in 2012 (and you gotta think part of that is because how badly Fletcher skews that curve). This team is a work in progress, and going for a rebuild in the midst of a rebuild is a recipe for another twenty years of mediocrity. Nobody outside of obnoxious Cowboys fans pretending to be obnoxious Redskins fans actually declared this team to be playoff bound this season. The point is that now the team has a franchise quarterback to build around, something that hasn’t happened once in the last twenty years. You can scoff all you want, but “progress is being made”. (And I can’t believe no one’s thought of this yet, but if I beat the Skins haters and negative nancies to the punch, they can’t use it. What you should have said was “‘progress is being made’, but in what direction?” Boom. See, ripping on the skins takes no skill at all, go trash talk the Packers or Falcons).

Since we know that Shanahan won’t offer up his totally unqualified OC son as the scapegoat, the chop will fall on Haslett, not that he doesn’t deserve it.

I’m sick of seeing the coaches change on the same schedule as Snyders underwear. Let Shanahan have his 5 years. Next year should be a year that involves playoff contention, especially with the sorry state of the NFC east.

If shanahan wants to use the rest of the season to evaluate talent, great! Get a head start on next year. I know we live in a McDonaldized society where things need to be served up ASAP and answers need to be had yesterday but all skins fans need to relax step away from the ledge and let things develop.

Let the man be a QB and develop as a QB….that reason alone is precisely why Shanny 1 and Shanny 2 should be on the next bus out of DC….and stick Haslet on there too.
