Let's see if it is absurd in Dec 09' and we are having the exact same debate if JC should be resigned. If all is well next season or if the Skins turn it around somehow to save this season then the JC issue will be muted, but if we get the same junky play from the offense the rest of the way and even through '09 JC is going to be toast. Snyder is not going to resign a guy for average to poor play for another 2-4 years. The excuses given for the crappy offensive production(especially points) is laughable in that we have always faced a depleted O line at many junctures in the last 10+ seasons, WR's with bad cases of the dropsies(Westbrook, Gardner come to mind), and banged up RB's( Allen, Davis, and now Portis). In short any QB shown the door in the post Gibbs I era faced the same garbage that JC has. The problem with the offense comes down to the players not acclamating or really going for Zorn's system or it is the guy in charge of executing the system on the field. Zorn needs to tweak the system to enhance the "weapons" at his disposal, but he also needs a guy that can execute it and win. The big W is the bottom line. Gus ran Norv's system fine, but couldn't get that many wins. Same thing with Johnson and Banks, but they couldn't win. Ramsey was just abused period and thrown to the wolves with Spurrier. Bottom line to me is Zorn's system doesn't seem to be all that complicated, and should be a helluva lot easier to get down than Saunders 700+ page monstrosity. Then again the WCO is sort of passe and probably not that hard for figuring out, so we do have a dilemna on our hands now don't we? There isn't a QB controversy yet, but if we do miss the wildcard you have to be a fool to think that the FO might start having some doubts start to creep in. And if '09 is a bust, it is going to be a lot easier to part ways with a QB on his last year of his contract than a coach and his system or more accurately bring in almost all new offensive personnel.
