Not to mention having his Daddy hanging around making unneccessary demands, "suggestions" etc. A good nucleus of young talent?? What? Really? This team is awful in so many areas, here again is where too many fans think they have a better team than what's really here. I mean...3-13..let that sink in. Good talent?
5 SB's?? Really? The last one was how many years ago? Nobody gives a flying fart what happened in 1992. How many playoff wins since then?
Best fan base? Really? You mean the one that for years only shows up when the team is winning? Did you not see the KC game? The Dallas game where over half the stadium was cheering for Dallas? This fan base is the biggest bandwagon rider in the league and has been for years.
Cap space? They don't have nearly as much as some other teams do. Besides the Redskins have so many holes they need ten times as much as they have to go get anyone good. Not that many good FAs will want to come to this train wreck of a team. And many other teams have all their draft picks as well.
A hungry owner? What? You mean an arrogant, meddling, weasel of an owner? The atmosphere here is poisonous....there's no other way to put it. Coaches will always be under Danny's thumb here.
This franchise, the one that stood for honor, winning, integrity, etc is DEAD. Gone. It will never be the glory years again. The problem is there are too many fans that think a snap of the fingers will fix things and they'll be a contender again, so they keep forking over money to Danny for tickets and merchandise, etc...and the team ends up sucking again and again and again. No matter who coaches, who gets drafted, signed as free agents, it's always the same....
I think this job is easily one of the worst in the league now, if not the absolute worst. Listening to Allen blather on about how "the right people are in charge now" etc made me want to puke. Isn't that what they said about the Shanahans, etc...
Nothing is going to change here.

Totally agree that if RG3 is a bust, this team will continue to sink into the bottomless abyss with no end in sight (Trying to come up with apocalytic language to match your depressing tone).
But who don't you think is talented? Won't even mention RG3.
- Garcon
- Trent Williams
- Alfred Morris
- Darrel Young
- Jordan Reed
- Ryan Kerrigan
- Orakpo (yes, he might be gone)
- DHall
And have you already concluded that guys like Amerson, Riley Jr., Rob Jackson and Crawford have no future in this league? Bowen and Coefield are unemployable?
FACT: 55 guys on the 2009 roster were OUT OF THE LEAGUE within a year.
How many guys on this team wouldn't find work with another team?
Yes, 3-13 can't be ignored. But you can't ignore the fact that this same roster won the division just last year, are in the best CAP position in the NFC and that it's not unheard of for teams to go from worst to first or vice versa every year. There's a reason no team has won the NFC East 2 years in a row in over a decade. Parity.
The NFL is totally unpredicable and somewhat random. No one is arguing the Redskins will be Super Bowl bound next year, but I don't believe they're in a tailspin that will take years to recover from either... UNLESS RG3 turns out to be a total bust.
To me, it all comes down to him.... not the next coach or Snyder or Ancient Indian curses that have been placed on the team
