I know its tough to admit but the Redskins are a bottom tier team and that isnst going to change for quite sometime because outside of Orakpo & Williams they essentially have no young core that appears poised to step in and become stars in a season or two. This is going to be a long rebuilding (of the team and the organizational culture) process.

There are 2 differences that separate our skins from the bottom teams like Oakland & Detroit:
1) We've had a few playoff appearances this decade & managed to be 8-8 just two seasons ago. i.e. we trend closer to mediocrity than those teams.
2) we have done this at great expense w/Haynesworth being the latest example.
Otherwise, I agree w/you.
